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?
Make up an excuse, try to avoid telling real reasons unless the reason is a solid one
Second, I will suggest you to speak with the partner you have worked the most (even if its indirectly).
Third, be ready for them to give lot of gyaan (mostly its self serving and occasionally can also be true).
Fourth, don't rush to get last date especially when the first time you are informing about the decision. I am sure you must have some deadline in your head or pressure from the new place that you are planning to join, but give your existing firm a day or so before you can start discussing your last day.
