That's because Indian law firms are shitty employers.
"If it's easy, I don't want it" T1 Corp job is a cakewalk for toppers. On the other hand, a TC/Rhodes/UPSC is tough even if u r a topper. The amount of prestige associated with these is much higher.
They like a challenge. All the other things mean more work and more learning.
Because they are toppers. They studied thoroughly. They are the intelligent ones. It’s that’s simple.
They don’t like to work in an environment where their freedom is limited. That’s why at least a TC is still preferred.
I heard one topper calling out law firms as β€˜artificial’ and I can’t agree more :)
Clat AIR 1 2021? I think I also saw the interview
Why will a gold medalist bother to earn peanuts here when he or she can further the degree and earn wayyyy more???
indian law firms have 0 respect for their employees. i agree that the hours are not way different at UK law firms, the prestige and the culture and the overall experience makes up for it.
You yourself said it. It’s cause they are toppers
Simple - why will anyone be a corporate slave where he or she can work at a better pay scale abroad or further his/her degree to obtain a better job. They are toppers for a reason. Aise thodi gold medal milta hein
They are toppers lol. Not backbenchers who attended classes for jobs.
You guys are really overestimating the work culture at magiclaw
I mean. they had to have liked studying if not liked the law at least a little bit. It made their brain light up. Why would you waste that talent in the small world of indias lala firms?
Especially with the pay scale that’s not even attractive compared to the work hours
Accha? I feel it’s too idealistic. Children work hard and be the topper
Maybe your college also matters then. And what do you mean by top bracket? A rank of 15 will ofc make you give the vibe of imposter syndrome.
Tier 1 NLU, decently large batch size for top 10 to assume significance
As a former topper who quit Tier 1, I can only say that being a topper in law school is not a guarantee of success anywhere. Some toppers also quit law entirely. I know this is not the response you are looking for
Quit law and then join better or lucrative careers. Be it mba or business or entrepreneurship as a whole or UPSc. That exactly was the point :)
