Can people confirm that this is a crazy increment across levels?
HK really wants to stop the talent drain to TL.

Except for A0 to A1 it's really a good increase.

How much if I may ask?
Senior told me A2 to A3 hike is some 60k per month, apparently marginally better in fixed than 3L.

A3, Delhi —> 2.15 p.m fixed.

Can people please confirm for different levels.

But I guess bonus will be left to the discretion of the firm? Meaning bonuses will be on the lower end?

Yes, fixed retainer for A3 (A2 as per KCO nomenclature) is 26 lakhs. just a few lakhs short of what people at 3legal get intoto. If they keep up paying bonuses like this year. KCo may be the highest paymaster.

Hi, could you explain what you mean by A2 in KCo nomenclature actually referring to an A3? Thanks!

Can confirm increase is good

What are the numbers?

A0s still payed the lowest. Kco should atleast add the variable component for a0s and make it 18. Hell even some t2 firms pay more

For A0s we’ll only know when they send out offer letter

Far from crazy, just the industrial (corporate) increment for a hard working employee. A 10% increment on your fixed component is nothing but peanuts in exchange for the slavery. Kaat Diya HK ne.

-SA2 at KCO

How are the levels defined in KCO?

Fresher (upto 9 months)

A0 - next 12 months

A1 - onwards

Or something different

You must have performed poorly. It’s okay. Try better next year.

Boss, A2 (1.55pm) to A3 (2.15pm) is a jump of 38.7%.

What is the salary for the newly minted SAs and PAs?

@legallyIndia mods, please feature this discussion!

based on info from other threads on this topic the new pay bands for KCO are as follows:

A0 - 15.6 (1.30pm) + 1.5 = 17.1

A1 - 17.4 (1.45pm) + 4 = 21.4

A2 - 21 (1.75pm) + 7.5 = 28.5

A3 - 26.8 (2.15pm) + 10 = 36.8

Can someone please confirm A2 & A3 bands?

From where are you getting the bonus component? That is never disclosed beforehand in KCO.

KCO gave bonus to A0s this year

This if true is really good.

A3 numbers are crazy mannn!!!!!

Calculation error, A3 is 25.8 (2.15 x 12).
And yes, no one knows about bonus beforehand.

Tax kitna cut hota h isme.. 3rd year student

The revised band for PQE 1 is 18 (1.5pm) + 4.

A2 confirmed

PA 3 - non corporate - 3.50 per month

Bonus was 27 lakhs

That is very low compared to 3L still. C3's in TL can get INR 1 CR.

Trilegal's non-corporate counsel level's compensation is also not uniform across all practice areas.
