What have you heard? It’s definitely a big mixed bag (also by practice group) I’d say the offices that are not homegrown baker and are newer acquisitions are generally more competent

Hello fishes!
Would appreciate your advice.

Currently looking to get into SCM. I am not able to land interview calls. Interested in Mumbai region.

I’ve been at my clerkship for 5 years (4 with a different judge) and one with my current judge, and I heard horrible things about him before starting, but I assumed they were exaggerated. Turns out they’re all true, and I’ve had to start therapy to deal with him and the incredibly toxic environment. I’m trying to get out ASAP b/c he also has a history of firing clerks without cause or notice, but I think I’ll only be able to give two weeks notice if i get the job I’m interviewing for. Thoughts?
