I am interested in understanding the career trajectory of litigators and would appreciate insights from experienced lawyers. Specifically, I want to know what to expect from a career in litigation in three distinct scenarios - an average career, a good career, and a prospering career.
1. How does one's career evolve from starting as a junior to going independent?
2. What are the average working hours at different stages of a career?
3. What would be a rough estimate of income?
4. What kind of skills am I expected to/will attain over time?
5. How does the career of a specialist (IPR/Tax) differ from others?
Note: I am still a student exploring litigation as a career option. If any of these questions are naive or ill-informed, please refrain from jumping at me and just move on.
