We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Enjoy life a little more maybe you'll start liking it.
So, almost, there is no original thinking, except in the creative fields.

Now, my advice is -
1. Dekho aisa image + connection bana lo, that the firm or any of that level firm, will hire you under 3 months. Have that level of market value + connections.
2. Now give GRE. Try getting above 320. Then, talk to consultants like Sarthak Verma or Piyush Ranjan. And try getting an admit at ISB or INSEAD or Saïd. Do the MBA. MBA is the most versatile degree on earth. You can go from policy to analytics to iBanking to front end consulting (conditional, that you are from a top tier school). Now, get into Strategy or Marketing roles. You will like it.
For e.g. - I met a girl today who spearheads marketing for Ola auto and they made this ad - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkTeNRZVzoc So, it is so funny, interesting + eye catching. She is from ISB.
So, MBA is the key which can give you all this freedom of work. And a comparable package.
3. Zyada dimag me zor pad raha ho toh join Sleepy classes and prepare for UPSC CSE. You will cry, be frustrated, have mental health issues, but, boredom, and no original thinking - Aisa nahi hoga.
All the best!
What good is LI if we can't talk about the real stuff? Please genuinely asking and bumping this up.
Anyone else feel like this? What are your plans?
