I completed LLB in 2013. However, I started working as a corporate and M&A lawyer in 2015 as I was pursuing CS and MBL. I gained 4.5 years work experience working as an associate with law firms based in Delhi and Bangalore.
I started my career with a low salary because I was keen on gaining knowledge rather than making money but because of this I got stuck in a low salary bracket despite the average salaries being high.
In 2021, I took a break from law firm practice due to personal unavoidable reasons. During this period I started practicing independently and was able to work on a few assignments.
Now I am ready to join a law firm in Bangalore but need to know:
1. Which law firms to apply to considering the so called gap of around 3.5 years.
2. The position for which I should apply.
3. The expected salary for the same.
Appreciate your guidance. Thank you.
