The truth behind why I left my law firm job in India
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Hi, I am Preksha 👋🏽
I graduated from NLU Delhi in 2022 and worked with a corporate law firm here in Bangalore for a few months after that. That is, until I quit.
In this video I share that story with the world.
Before you watch the video or even as you watch it, it is important for you to know that I didn't make this video to share gossip or bad mouth the people and organization I really respect. The sole reason behind making this video is that if there is anybody who wants to leave their law firm job but is unsure how to, they can watch this video and feel more seen, heard, and at ease.
After leaving the law firm job, I now work with a wonderful health teach startup and we are building mental healthcare for India.
I am here to talk to you if this video resonates with you and would be more than happy to answer any more questions you might have 🫶🏼

Thank you for sharing this experience! Loved the video ✌🏻
Thank you Vaishnavi 🫶🏼
Money motivates you to some extent.....you are always burnout in law profession.... wise people choose life over job....
So true!
Indeed !!
I am in my 4th year at NLU Jodhpur and i feel the same thing which you spoke here. Every word rightly resonated!
@@prachimotwani788Yupp
So great to see you thrive with clarity in terms of who you are and what you want to do. Inspired and proud
Thank you Nimal!
Whatever you said in this video I have faced all of these while working in one of the top private sector bank of India. So this is a normal practice of companies be it a law firm or Bank or anything else. Being a married man you even can not quit whenever you want to specially when you have to pay your home and car EMI's. Har roj khoon ki ghoot pee kar naukri karni padti hain..

more power to you !!
Truly spoken out the harsh reality of our lives!!
Can you tell me, what would be the avg working hours in a top law firms and how it decreased as the tier of law firms decrease? Saturdays and sundays off or not??
This thought is always building up in my mind as a litigation firm, where I am fed up with work culture of law firm. However mine is not that bad but to think in terms of growth what type of work culture is offered in tier 1 firms is scary and makes me shift career paths all together.
Need more videos with Indians talking about alt career tracks! All the best, and keep going :)
Thanks! Will be making quite a few videos on alt career tracks and different aspects of transitioning careers 🚀
Look forward to it! @@prekshadointhings

Really thank you. It's one of the best videos I could get to understand and relate to the scenario
I am a NLU Visakhapatnam 2021 graduate. I have been working for Big 4 consulting firm for the last 3 years and I can completely relate to you. Long working hours, lack of work life balance and no room for innovation and a new approach to your current work. Money is good but it can motivate you to some extent only
Thankyou for sharing your experience. Much appreciated ❤
Thank you for wonderful insights, and for the candidness! It helps.
Totally agree with all your points. Besides that really liked your way of articulation of all the points. You have very sweet voice.
Thank you so much!
कोकिला ❤🎉😊
You experienced the firm culture and quit. That's great at least you quit after experiencing it. But the thing you quit the same law firm job...is a distant star for many who come from small towns and are first generation in the field of law. They may never even get a chance to be part of it for their whole life.
It's just perception..which drives all of us.😊
You are such an amazing speaker and so articulate! It was a joy listening to you
This video is sooo helpful as a law student we sometimes get so confused about the future and also I believe with do whatever makes you happy in life❤❤
Very insightful. Thankyou for conveying your experience and thoughts.
"I really related to you when you explained the first reason why you left the legal industry. It felt like I was listening to my own thoughts, as that is exactly what I want to do. Thank you for sharing your experience and making me feel like I'm not alone in wanting to shift from law to entrepreneurship."
FINALLY SOMEONE SPOKE ABOUT IT!
Thanks!1
Continue making video. Don't give up!
Aside from the fact that one is not an employee - what you describe in terms of leaves, competition, working weekends is in fact of life in every single field including in fact startups of any kind. Some startups can be toxic in every sense of the term just as an established listed company can be just as toxic. Well rounded/ balanced life is a fallacy unless u work for yourself and your business / profession has tajen off. And u didnt hit on the politics in a law firm - why not?
Thanks a lot, this provided a much needed clarity ❤
Thank you so much for the video. It is very informative.
In the same boat. Working towards figuring things out. Thank you for the video! Glad to know I am not the only one lol.
all the best!
I’m so proud of you for making this! ❤ loved the video.
thank you asthaaa
More power to you❤
thanks!
Proud of you, Preksha! Love you for your dedication, sincerity and most importantly honesty.
Thank you Ayushi 🫶🏼

What to do with a law degree other than law ? please make a video on it.
How much an advocate can earn after 3-4 yrs of practice? Do advocate get client easily?
What are you doing now professional?

they do but it is undoubtedly more difficult to get there. all the best
What work in going on law firms , example taxation, which app should people. Awareness to interview purpose 😅😅😅😅plz make video
What about litigation?
How to work with start ups? could start up work be done remotely? please answer
I quit too. It was toxic, thankless, horrendous and I felt consistently mocked and ignored. Blatant favouritism
Wow, this video makes me want to be friends with you. ❤
Btw I love mondays too ! 🎉
@@mahimazade4556 Hahaha we should be friends then 🫶🏼
सखी सहेली ❤🎉😊
Ma'am please tell ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY and Jamia is good for BALLB or not, bcz NIRF rankings law colleges is very good for both colleges and placement hote h AMU and JAMIA me ki nhi please give SUGGESTIONS
As a former student of AMU my advice is no Degree only from NLU Universities have a face value
A student from nlsiu Bangalore will have same life in future as you say ??
It’s about the firm and not the college.
👍
It's the same in litigation
Mam the law firm we should trouble our life or not. Practicing in court should be better tell one clarity
सही सोच है आपकी । ❤🎉😊
Which is the better option if leave law firm
So you quit law? Means you are not advocate am i right?
how much does a law firm ...kinda pay you plssssssssssssss try to answer this , this is needed !

Regarding the point you mentioned about "Not an employee"- does this also happen with the support departments in a law firm? (like Finance, HR etc).
Also, as a "non-employee" in a law firm, are women eligible for maternity leave?
I'm unable to find any information online regarding this.
@@ashwathinambiar4004 Hi so lawyers are on retainer basis and I believe other employees are on employment/ contractual basis so it might be better for them in that sense. In terms of maternity leaves etc, the policies are very good so they do provide that but as far as I understand legally, on a retainer basis, they are not obligated to provide them to their lawyers.
Okay, thank you 😊👍🏻
Can you put some more light on how you got a job in a startup and what skill sets are required, because I am in the same position I want to switch as an in-house council in a company but I am unable to land any opportunity.
😮
Dont keep saying 'right', it is not right.
Now Double up as an ACCA
