If you are looking for money only - JOIN an LPO
If you are looking for real life legal work experience - Join a law firm or corporate.If you want both - Work with a law firm for 2-3 years. Get a solid base and exposure and then branch out to LPO. This way you ll have exposure to both. As a fresher, you would have very little option to branch out if you join LPOs directly
Moneywise, LPOs are unmatched and offer professional working environment with weekly offs and evaluation systems. However, they are entirely dependant on work from US and if in case there is no work for a long time, they fire people. Thats sad but true. I am not trying to create a scare. Just stating the facts so that real expectations about joining LPOs is set. LPO is not a cushion job. It offers tremendous learning opportunities. But its not something that you would want to look if you have a 5 yr or 10 yr plan of professional growth. Its not something you can retire with. Good Luck!
