1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

By sheer dumb luck, a neighbor (CS) helped me get a job at the consultancy firm (T2/3 city) she works in, run by an LLB CS guy. Very kind man. Decent work (tho kinda confused if the work I’m doing is for a CS or a lawyer). shit pay (5k). Started this week. Been following LI for a while ever since started seeing some light, and so I thought litigation was the only way out of this rot (afraid can’t give exams now). So now idk which route to take. Heart says corp because known waters. But climb sounds steep and frankly, uncertain.
Which brings me to my ques. Does some vestige of NLU privilege still lie in my CV/career, to be salvaged in the near future? Or have I positively blown it all up? should I just go w lit? Where do chances of me making it lie more?
(tier-1 grad too - if there's anything 'tier-1' about that college)
Your best bet is to leverage your alumni network.
