It was my ambition from 3rd year itself that I wanted a good corporate law career especially in a reputed law firm. But now future is looking bleak.
Now please don't get me wrong it's not that I cannot get a job in my State or prepare for Govt jobs. In fact those are my backup plans. But I have a vision of making it big in the corp world and I still won't give up without trying.
So according to your opinion, should I continue applying to firms, or should I take up a job at a local firm in my state and then attempt to shift up year by year, or should I pivot to an MBA (Note: My mathematical skills are weak and I generally hate equation stuff)
Corplaw> Consulting/similar less mathematical yet wellpaying corp sectors > Law related Government Jobs> Litigation.
That's the reason why I put MBA as an option
