Why is everyone here so triggered by the White Tiger? That’s how the majority of India lives, please get outside your white collar bubbles. And stop saying “the media always shows poverty”, they also released shows like Bollywood Wives and Indian Matchmaking.

Glorifying poverty from a third world country is like saying lets show hungry kids from Africa to grab eyeballs, does not mean it doesn’t exist, just means its exploitative and kinda stereotypical

So it should not be shown?

First of all they did not make the movie to portray India one way or the other - it based on a book - written by an Indian ; go read it first and then get triggered 😃

Loved the book! It was way better than the movie

It's a freaking fantastic movie. I read the book ages ago, it was good and, I don't say this often, the movie adaptation is even better.

What’s there to be triggered about? There is a difference between poverty porn making/adapting a movie whose clear and honest objective is to show the class divide. Exploitative movies were Bandit Queen, City of Joy made purely for the western audience’s pleasure

Salary and/or pay ranges:

I got licensed in 2018 and started working for a firm in DC while commuting from Baltimore because of the pay. I hated the job/firm and am obviously in Baltimore now, albeit with a significant pay cut, but the lifestyle/job satisfaction is awesome. There’s not a gargantuan BigLaw presence in/around Baltimore to really skew salary averages, so I’ve been curious as to what types of salary ranges there are around here for junior/senior associates, partners, etc.?
