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.

For context, this is a lesser known law firm paying the bare minimum salary [25k per month] that I'm joining just for the time being as a fresher, with the intention to switch to a better one later (1 year maximum). Please help me figure out how serious firms are (or not) with following notice periods and if there is something I should be worried about later if i need to quit within a shorter time period.
Also wanted to know if there's any chance this can be negotiated to be reduced to 1 month? I know it sounds stupid (because firm's policy can't be altered for just one person right?) and unlikely to be accepted and obviously gives a bad impression but idk if I'm doing the right thing right now
