lit is just nepo games, been in lit for around 5+ yrs. and trust me as day by day i see my both lit siode and T1 copr frineds i cry i am about the age of marriage and how much diff. is for me now to get married.
no proper earning i do take up some matters but if i had gotten a chane to g back in time and reverse all this i would do at any cost.
i started with by listening to everyone's advice, with lot of motivation ( still motivated for that one day ) but its now on verge of collapsing.
Law firms jobs are the worst. I and some of my friends made this mistake as well few years back and regretting this every single day.
All the best for your future.
However, my relative, who is a retired lawyer having no skin in the game anymore is asking me to take up his 150 sq. feet office at Fort. Mumbai rent-free and start my independent litigation practice using that space. He will be able to help me in case I have any queries but will not be actively involved in lending a helping hand for day to day work, as mentioned above, he is retired now.
I just graduated and have two options in front of me.
1. Get a job in a law firm in corporate law fields.
2. Start an independent practice using my relative's office space at Fort, Mumbai which will can be used rent free.
Obviously, there used to be a bias towards law firm jobs in comparison to litigation but I am not sure if this bias will remain the same in the time to come because of the advent of AI, do correct me if you feel I am wrong.
What should I do?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Thank you for reading!
