        Hello Everyone,

        I am an advocate, but right now I am not earning any money. I am 30 years old, and 6 years ago I completed my law since practicing, and at this age, I need to start earning, but I am struggling. I am trying to get a job in a finance company and also trying to join the panel of different companies, but I have not been successful. What should I do?

          Join an office of somebody whoโ€™s already established.

          If youโ€™re first gen, the grind is hard and it will make you want to/actually quit.

          If youโ€™re up for non litigation roles, direct recruitment to ADJ.

          Migrate to one of the commonwealth countries.

          Appear in CLAT-PG and join some PSU

          There might be more options which Iโ€™m missing right now

          And importantly, if you stay in litigation, remember that youโ€™re in one of the most thankless professions, and it takes time to build your way up.

                  Sadly, friend, youโ€™ve got to choose your poison.

                  Either work harder for the examination, or for litigation. Donโ€™t put your feet in two boats, youโ€™ll sink.

                  Go all in on one.

                                  Takes a little longer than that to pay off, I suppose.

                                  Solicit cases from your own network of people and help them (genuinely). If youโ€™re in higher courts, solicit from lower courts. If youโ€™ve tried and failed.. identify whatโ€™s keeping you from it and keep trying unless you either succeed or quit.

                                      It’ll be difficult to join a corporate with no prior experience but it’s not impossible the process can be frustratingly long but you can keep applying.

                                      On the other hand, if possible an additional course like masters or a diploma can be helpful (if it’s affordable for you).

                                      Were you practicing independently or was working in a law firm?

                                                      I don’t know much about MP but if you’re not in a metropolitan earning fast won’t be possible. The growth will be slow for you and you’ll have to be more patient because opportunities in tier 2 cities are generally quite less.

                                                              Hello,

                                                              I understand your situation, and there are several strategies you could consider to start earning. You might explore teaching as a visiting faculty in law colleges or even schools for 11-12th grade or Engineering colleges. Additionally, creating a YouTube channel to guide viewers on legal topics can be a great platform to showcase your expertise.

                                                              Connecting with MSMEs or SMEs for retainership opportunities could also be beneficial. Lastly, reaching out to associations or trade unions might open doors for new collaborations.

                                                              Best of luck with your endeavors!

                                                              Best regards,

Even out of that 70k, barely 10k are serious and the rest just give clat as backup though we only have seats that can accommodate 3k most if we combine all NLUs

                                                                                                  In my city, colleges that used to offer BE (engineering) courses 10 years ago are now offering LLB 3-year programs instead.

                                                                                                  Every year, the number of LLB colleges keeps increasing, and each college has around 200 seats.

                                                                                                  • #7923 Reply
