Which disputes teams or partners would you recommend joining at SAM Delhi? I don't want insane work hours and a toxic work culture, but if the work is good quality, the people are nice and there is adequate mentorship, I wouldn't mind occasional long hours. But I would like to maintain some work-life balance for my mental health.
Also, which SAM Delhi disputes teams work on international matters regularly (preferably international arbitration but any international matters would be fine)?
I have had numerous internships, particularly in Tier-I law firms, where I encountered Rishab's team consisting of incredibly toxic and arrogant individuals. While Rishab and Kartikey stood out as a positive and informal team members, the ▮▮▮ were consistently rude and condescending. Their comments such as "you are wasting my time," "How can you even call me," "There are countless interns like you," and "No one asks such basic questions" were deeply demoralizing. I often questioned why I was dedicating my time and efforts to these individuals. In one instance, a ▮▮▮ from their team, ▮▮▮, directed ▮▮▮ frustration towards me when I submitted my work five minutes past the deadline. Despite my sincere efforts to deliver presentable work, ▮▮▮ berated me, exclaiming, "I need to close my laptop and sleep, yet you are taking an excessive amount of time!" This incident took place late in the evening, around 10-11 PM, while I was working remotely.
Furthermore, a former ▮▮▮ or ▮▮▮ who also left the firm once remarked that I should redo three days' worth of work within a single hour. ▮▮▮ also questioned my suitability for the team, emphasizing that it is a leading team in the entire country and there are numerous individuals more capable than myself, whom they could easily hire. The ▮▮▮, who holds degrees from prestigious institutions like ▮▮▮ and ▮▮▮, has unfortunately proven to be the most discourteous individual I have encountered within the law firm. In a highly unpleasant manner, ▮▮▮ informed me that they cannot consider me for recruitment. Moreover, while ▮▮▮ can freely contact me and assign tasks at any time, I am not permitted to reach out to ▮▮▮ during regular business hours to seek clarifications, as ▮▮▮ tirelessly attends to client matters, fearing potential oversight. Despite having high expectations based on ▮▮▮ impressive credentials, ▮▮▮ behavior as a person is exceedingly toxic, lacking basic manners. It is important for these individuals to bear in mind that they are interacting with someone significantly younger, who is earnestly striving to collaborate with them. As law interns, we hold them in high regard, yet they fail to reciprocate that respect.
