I am seeking job prospects in the legal field in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, as I plan to relocate there in about a year. Currently, I have 1.5 years of PQE, having worked for a boutique production house and now with a top private insurance company as in-house counsel.
After conducting research, I am considering the following options:
1. Transition to maritime law and explore opportunities with organizations like HPCL.
2. Take a career break to pursue an LLM/MBA.
3. Explore remote work, either independently or with a company that allows for WFH.
4. Pursue an LLM now and appear for UGC NET to teach in NLU Vizag or GITAM.
5. Follow my passion and start a business.
6. Explore opportunities with Visakhapatnam-based law firms, acknowledging potential language barriers.
Ideally, I aim to continue earning and plan to return to Mumbai in about 5 years. During that time, I aspire to be considered for impactful roles, emphasizing my commitment to not compromise my current work despite the inevitable relocation.
Feel free to inquire if you need more details and provide suggestions based on the additional information.
Any suggestions, insights or leads would be greatly appreciated.
