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.

Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
PS: goes for women too
Foreign trips- depends on person to person, if they have responsibilities, they would avoid initially, but manageable.
Female attention - gold digger types? Yes, otherwise rarely.
Respect in society - nil, nobody cares about your job. In my case, everytime I visit home, my mom asks me when are you leaving this job to appear for judiciary exams.
Major cases- depends. If it's a big transaction, yes. If it's a big case, then you are just a research assistant and don't get to argue and that part is done by senior advocate's office. Usually T1 peeps don't argue big matters by themselves.
Nice office- varies from T1 to T1.
And trust me, if you remove the money factor or if litigation starts to pay like T1s or even T2s, more than half of these shops would be empty in no time.
Please do not start on hectic work schedule and everything. I know that.
What about other things? Earning 1L a month, saving at least 20k to invest on oneself, foreign trips in a year or two, female attention, respect in society, major cases, nice office etc.
