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.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
I'm finding the work a little boring; I'm not learning anything new, there is nothing intellectually stimulating about it. The work that the seniors seem to be doing is also along similar lines. I don't think there's much scope for growth or learning here.
I have always been interested in M&A, transactions. All my internships have been in this area. Would love to switch to a law firm.
Could someone please help me with this? (Especially if there is someone who has made this switch)
1. How do I make the switch?
2. How should I prepare for a switch, what should I be reading/studying etc.?
3. I have a standard 3 month notice period (is there any way I can circumvent this, get it shortened, etc.?)
