What is the right time to buy your own house if you are working in a law firm? Just for your information, Delhi is not my hometown, and I come from an upper middle-class family. My parents are in favour of helping me in buying my own house.
I would say first figure out if you like the profession by giving 2-3 years. Once you enter the profession you’ll be exposed to lot of new things that may affect your decision. You’ll realise lot of people end up pursuing quite related/ non related fields of law. You might have to move to another city for a better opportunity.
Don’t think so much about finances and rent now. Give yourself time to figure out who you are and what you like.
