Ended up in the US years later and realized privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, AI, crypto, cloud etc. have really good employment prospects if you have the domain knowledge, both in law firms and companies. General corporate is the practice many find themselves stuck in because they had no other interests to specialize in.
My 2 cents: if you’re passionate about TMT and can bear not to start at 15 LPA, take 1-2 years to work at places which will help you lateral into TMT. Or, work in general corporate at a firm and then lateral into a TMT team. Either way, no harm reaching out to TMT associates and partners so they know you are interested and looking for an opportunity.
