Hi buddy. I did the same thing. I graduated in 2019 from Delhi University then sat for 2-3 mains of judicial service and after failing in all of them eventually joined in house. I worked in house in reliance for a year then switched to boutique law firm. You can also make a switch but let me tell you law firm lawyers have a prejudice towards in house since they are accustomed to work 9-5(in house). So if you don't get direct entry in tier-1, then join tier-2 and gradually scale up the ladder. Work is good but timings are demanding. You will learn in both positions. In law firm you will learn faster as you will put more hours. Jo jitna time dega vo utna seekhega. Good luck.

Hi. I used to send cold message(s) to all the partners and recruiters on Linkedin as well as on email. But my email used to be precise and I purposely connected with general corporate partners only. Finally, as luck would have it, one of the partner was kind enough to call me in. However, since they called me that very day on which I sent the message, I was not properly prepared. I kind of choked in my interview. But the opening was urgent, and they took me in. I hope this might help you. Good luck.
