Like what? Advancing humanity by helping it to colonize other planets through designing intergalactic space ships? Finding a cure to cancer? Devising a theory on quantum gravity? What are the great avenues for rando law grads other than the two means to actually practice law?
Classic law graduate thinking the world is only either corporate law or litigation. A law degree only teaches you think critically, you don't have to be stuck in such narrow horizons.
As someone who spent most of his time in T1, its full of kids with no experience and some smattering of seniors. Most leave when they reach an understanding of law firm economics.
Brother the fact that you can't think of any career choices except T1 and district court litigation is, in fact, indicative of the institutionalization
Say that to my senior at the HC who makes 20-30 lakhs a day
So true, in the one year I worked there- I had no life.

T1s protect one’s self respect

The teams treat each other respectfully and make sure the juniors learn about the various intricacies regarding corporate law

T1s standard of promotion of stress free work culture is even above that of USA and UK standards.
No matter what people say, tier 1s are the elitist sphere of law. The kinds of matter, the level of professionalism, the dedication to winning, and the high pay is something you only find here. Even people who leave it can't deny it.
Those who work in t1 for long enough are institutionalized, as Red from Shawshank would put it. They become the most boring and insufferable people in existence, devoid of anything interesting to talk about.
Trauma bonding. Also the t1 experience is so jarring that it never leaves you, you'll forever remember the crazy demands long hours and unnecessary politics
