January 16, 2025 at 8:33 pmI am a fourth year student at a mid tier NLU. I have a good disputes CV, not great grades though. I did a lot of internships since second year and the plan was always to join the disputes (preferably arb) vertical of a law firm. Litigation is not an option for me because I am a first gen lawyer. I always knew the hours are bad and the work is hectic. I just looked forward to having a lot of money, a possibility to go abroad and the workload reducing as one goes up the ladder.However, lately I have begun to feel that though I want all the things I just mentioned, is it worth it giving about 12 hours to work EVERY DAMN DAY. I am a person who is prone to stress and anxiety and love to have time on a daily basis. Thus I started considering judiciary, only in Delhi though because transfer shit is a complete no no for me. I am good at academics in general and love studying.
I am in a dilemma. Am I overthinking and being too afraid? or should i actually prioritize my mental peace instead of chasing “dreams”? everyone says you do what you want but I don’t know what I want really, I’m just scared of making the wrong choice. What should I prioritize? the two careers are completely opposite and I’m just tired of being in a dilemma. I want to pick a lane and stick to it. I need to decide now. I have taken my sweet time to figure out but really to no avail. I’m just unable to decide. HELP ME!
