Honest opinion for a law school student
Many tier 1 fires associates who are poor performance and burden on them such as SAM, Saraf and Partners.
Ideally who would like to keep a burden on their team and pay for poor performances
There was also a NLU ▮▮▮ Topper who left (yes served his notice) and left a team in three months.
You never know.
Some one who has worked hard for five years won’t shy away from hardwork in a law firm.
Don’t vent your personal grudge here
Here are some facts:
1. It takes immense hardwork to top on NLU. Probably you won’t know that.
2. If some one chooses law firm, he/she won’t run away from hardwork- but may run away from toxicity.
3. SnP, SCAM have high attrition rate - thanks to the toxic people there.
That person was quite infamous in ▮▮▮ as well.
I guess you are talking about NLU Topper who was Rank 1 and had 6-or-7 golds and joined ▮▮▮.
I know him personally- we talk like once bimonthly- Let me tell you about him.
He is a simple guy, yes socially he is akward, but he is really a gem.
He was preparing for civil.
Financial constraints and anxiety made him quit that and he joined ▮▮▮ in ▮▮▮.
I had a conversation with him where he told me about his situation at ▮▮▮ and the things he told me, I was convinced that he should leave.
He served his notice in 2 months and left during Christmas break. He was not terminated for sure- infact he was shouted at for serving his notice.
He took break for 3-4 months, and last month I got to know that he has joined a Tier 2 firm in Bombay in ▮▮▮. He told me he is happy there at less salary.
I am glad to know that he has finally settled.
Hardwork is something they are great at, if he/she has left Tier 1 and joined some other firm and is staying there, that shows how toxic that tier 1 was!
Powerful people make places powerful.
It’s exemplary to kick a tier 1 and join a lower ranked place. He/she with his/her expertise will surely make that place bigger than tier 1. Rankings are a myth, it’s people who work for places and make it top.
I have financial obligations, else would have left this pathetic place. Everyday I wake up at 8, reach office at 10, come back at 1/2 Am and sleep- this is my schedule- even on weekends. I may be pulling 35-40LPA- but have already got white hair at 28! This is what a toxic place does to you.
I salute the person here!
What sort of reasoning this is- based on one side allegation, we pass judgement.
There we had three disputes team.
One dispute team had all stressed out associates. The team had all A0s and a partner and a senior partner (Team EM). The team saw highest attrition rate with five to six associates on notice at any point of time.
On the other hand there were other two teams, in disputes which had zero attrition rate. In those team, an intern would work for months and for a time more than an associate in Team EM.
What I mean to say is that, it’s all a matter of luck, if you get a good boss, you are sorted, if not then you go for a toss.
tier 2 and 3 are great place to learn and get exposure/ my 5 years of stint at a Delhi based dispute chamber has
😂😂😂😂You seem to hold grudges against him.
That’s good to see.
Toxic behaviour of the partners, yes!
1. He left ▮▮▮ on his own accord because it didn’t get up, telling reasons here would not be professional - so it’s better to just be grateful to ▮▮▮; and then there was some personal tragedy for which he went back home.
How would a toxic person like you know what happened.
It’s easy to sit upon and judge others behavior.
Everybody has flaws so does he. But then there are cowards like you, who anonymously vent out grudge. Without knowing facts!!!
