Your post is silent about ''WLB'' and ''Relaxed Life/Hectic Culture''
Worst place to be in.
Having said that my experience with CA firms is far better than law firms.
But you did not answer the question
The problem with law firms is one doesn't need any intelligence to carry out legal work, that's why focus shifted to who is having more contacts, network, influencer, pedigree, money power etc.
I've seen class 10 passed clerks earning 12 lpa based on their experience and soft skills.
Not the case with other professions requiring some hard skills.
In law, there's only one skill which will be focused on, your name.
Baki to one third of all lawyers are not having valid law degrees and touts have been earning 50k p.m. for cases they refer.
So, better make your own name.
Anyone who has seen either side of the life i.e. as a lawyer in Law Firm and as a CA in industry/mnc/law firm pls comparies the toxicity and WLB.
Do CAs in CA Firms have relaxed life with not so toxic principals?
