Does anyone on here recommend making a switch from law to policy work? Is that looked down upon in the legal field or is there some rewarding features of utilizing one’s JD in the policy space? I’ve been interviewing in the policy space and am really passionate about clean energy policy. I guess I’m also wondering if practicing law in the energy regulatory space is worthwhile given my interests.

I know people who made the switch. They didn't enjoy the grind and moved to more legislative/lobbying work. They love educating people about the law and helping to make changes to the law instead of doing so from the judicial or regulatory side.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!
