hey man that sounds pretty difficult, ik its cliche to say this but the night is at its darkest before sunrise. pls dont give up. See, it's a numbers game at the end of the day. Make a list of everything you've done so far in law & then write them next to what field of law you think you are interested in. Now after you've narrowed down what you're interested in, everything you've worked on so far would help you in identifying what you can contribute in a firm/chamber/office. Congratulations you're prepped for interview now.

Now what do I mean by it being a numbers game. There are 100s of firms/chambers out there, cold mail 5-10 a day, drop them a text on linkeding, engage with their law articles if they've written any, volunteer to be a research assistant for them, see if you can land a job after. Keep Cold mailing, I'd say walking into offices is also great. At the end of the day even if you get rejected by everyone for 10 days, you've already cold-mailed/talked to a 100 people, you're immune to rejections now and you're much more confident because you can now recognise patterns in these conversations. Now, you only need one person to say yes. That's all its gonna take. You are feeling bad about your situation anyway, might as well do something out of it. Go right on, and best of luck!!

I don’t know how to even begin, sometimes it feels like I’ve been cursed.

I graduated from a private college in a metro city. Everything seemed fine until life started falling apart. In my fourth year during COVID, my health deteriorated drastically and I had to undergo a major surgery. It shattered not just my body, but my momentum too. My grades took a hit, and I couldn’t intern as much as I wanted to.

In my final year, just when I was trying to gather strength, my mother broke down after I lost my grandmother. She fell into deep depression. I took care of her the best I could. I started working at an Advocate's chamber and started preparing for SEBI exam, hoping to make something meaningful as I was always inclined towards corporate law, but I couldn’t clear it.

I didn’t give up. I joined an LL.M. in Corporate Law and tried to regain control. I interned where I could, took online courses, tried every possible way to upskill myself. But as if that wasn’t enough, I fell sick again. As the doctor said, I was likely infected by someone with tuberculosis. I had to undergo a full 6-month treatment.

Now, as my course is about to end, I’m scared. I haven’t been able to get a job. I don’t even have an assessment internship. I feel like I’ve done everything I could, fought through everything life threw at me, but I still feel stuck and exhausted.

I’m reaching out here, with whatever courage I have left. I would be forever grateful if you could help me. I just want a chance. A beginning.
