I started my career in the legal field as an in-house corporate lawyer and have been working for the past two years, currently earning 5.4 LPA. Recently, I accepted an offer from an established startup at 8 LPA, hoping to accelerate my financial growth and career trajectory.
However, life has thrown certain urgent financial challenges my way, and I now find myself in a position where I need to scale my income to at least 30 LPA within the next six months. This isn’t just about personal ambition—it’s about fulfilling critical obligations that demand immediate financial stability.
This situation has made me question my professional path. The legal field has its growth trajectory, but I am unsure whether staying in this domain is the fastest way to achieve my financial goal or if I should pivot to a different, more lucrative field that offers faster scalability.
I am at a crossroads:
Should I continue in the legal industry and focus on high-paying niches like M&A, PE/VC, fintech regulations, or international corporate law?
Should I transition to a parallel field like consulting, finance, or business strategy, where my legal expertise could add value?
Or should I take a completely different approach—exploring entrepreneurial ventures, tech, or other high-growth industries?
I know there are people out there who have faced similar dilemmas and successfully navigated them. If you’ve scaled your income significantly in a short period, I’d love to hear your insights, experiences, or even just words of advice.
I am open to learning, adapting, and making strategic career moves. Looking forward to perspectives from those who have either been in a similar situation or have valuable expertise to share.
