1. Having graduated from a tier-3 college, first gen lawyer have struggled to make inroads in the corp. law scene. SO far, have around 1.5 years of PQE in boutique law firms but going ahead is seriously a tsk given my non-nlu credentials in a few job switches in the past.
2. I come from a middle class family, living in a tier 3 city so litigation is something I cannot look up to , obviously due to financial constraints as well as locational disadvantage.
3. Following from point no.2, doing foreign LLM or any masters degree would not be feasible for me as I know that it will only marginally increase my chances of getting a good job later on. Further, I cannot leave working on and earning as I have financial burdens over me as well.
What should I ideally do to in this predicament. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
