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

I'm 24. I work at a law firm as a litigation associate in indirect tax. The work has increased, but life's not as bad as the tier-1s that a lot of my friends joined. I don't have as much time to start preparing as some full time aspirants do (the category that does UPSC prep all day and thinks of the bank as a second option). A lot of my batchmates have already left law and preparing for the almighty civil services examination.
Thus, I come to you with the following queries.
1. Have any of you made the switch to a RBI Grade B DR officer from law? And how are you feeling now, after you've made the switch?
2. If you switched from a lawyering setup, what preparation schedule did you follow? I am ready to put in the work as much as needed but I got to have some time left for rest.
3. And is it possible to clear the exam in the first attempt at this setup?
Thanks a lot!
