While there may still be a dispute on who is the best pay master, there is a consensus on the worst for sure. JSA announced it increments today and no one is happy. Seems like we have a clear winner for lowest pay master. A1 are getting around 95k a month which is a joke.

U have the bill sharing which should make it equal to any other T1.

Billing share is a sham. Partners move your billable hours to theirs and you get robbed :)

And since promotions are decided on the basis of RCR and utilisation, that gets withheld also :)

Mass resignations, is what I hear.

Ever since Gurgaon appointed that finance head ex com lady it has been hell for the whole firm. Canceled retreats, shit increment, no band raise, crap bonus. EPs stand around gossipping about her all day long but can't take a stand where it matters? Spineless. Great time for Trilegal's HR to swoop in and pick up everyone who's angry at these increments

Hey, you have got your facts wrong. Excom finance in JSA doesn’t handle the bonuses or increments. It is all handled at the EP level. Don’t blame without knowing your facts. Suggest you go to Trilegal- they not offering you a job?

Asli ID se aa SS!

aw are u from her team getting paid to post defense messages? Have heard that's a common practice in that team.

Come to luthra habibi. (Or dsk.)

Jsa will feel like a shopping mall in front of these Lalaji ki parchoone ke dukans

Isn't bill sharing an unique feature that has been bragged upon

Bill sharing was a benefit when it was first introduced by JSA as a perk above and beyond retainer amount. Today it exists to partially make up difference between what other firms pay at the same level. JSA retainer + bill share will still be less than Trilegal or Khaitan retainer at same levels.

When other firms are increasing retainer bands our lovely JSA is reducing it. No logic!!

They are actually paying 5k less at PA level. Only JSA can do something this arbitrary

A1s are definitely making about 1.5 in totem in Corp teams

Retainers for SA level seem to have been reduced from last year. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, it has

What is the new base salary at SA and PA level?

1.75 and 2.70 respectively

This is not new it has been the base for many years now and base for SA is 2.00 not 1.75 at Delhi Gurgaon locations. Unlike other firms JSA pays its Bangalore and other offices lesser money.

Is it because real estate is more expensive at Bangalore and Mumbai offices?

Is there any rationale for reducing the salary at SA level by almost more than 40k (assuming it was 2.2 lacs pre tax before?

Found out today that a retained partner in JSA makes 3.25 lacs per month. Damn! Thats too low, even with bill share! I am quitting (literally) - dont want to make partner here.

Which city/office is this buddy??

Gurgaon.

maybe an IP or disputes partner. I know M&A partners who make much much more.

This guy is core M&A/PE/VC, and has very good (typical for M&A) billings. He makes good in bill share but such a low base will ensure his over all income doesnt goes up by much. Thats why (s)he is disappointed. This (3.25) IS the base. You are getting confused for the same reason that I am getting baffled - its too damn low to be base for an M&A partner!!

JSA pays 60k to freshers, which is much much lower than Tier-2 and Tier-3 firms. Imagine staying in Bombay with 60k salary.

Salary- 60k

In-hand-54k

Rent- 20k (sharing basis in Mumbai in some shitty locality which is an hour away from the office in fort)

You have no choice but to take the local train everyday during peak hours, walk to office from Churchgate / VT, and have a shitty life with struggle.

That along with pathetic working hours and working weekends. The firm isn't considerate at all it seems.

Especially their JA period, which can go on forever.

Is this for Associate or Junior Associate?

JSA isn’t worth anymore. Time to switch.

Hi Boss! Switch to where? Suggest some viable options, thanks in advance!!!

Lmao even firms like WG and Juris Corp pay that much to A1. What's the point of JSA now
