We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Unsure what the agenda is.
2. 16 partners have left CAM in one financial with 3 times the numbers of associates and SAs.
3. So brother Richie Rich YOU are losing 100s.
4. Who are going to small platforms with CAM clients and CAM teams. Here is the golden truth. AZB is HALF the size of CAM. SMALL. ASHWATH the giant went to AZB and CAM Corporate never recovered. Even Richie’s daddy could not stop Kotak and the rest from running to Ashwath at AZB.
5. So dont give people ultimatums bro. The good old days of green card Amarchand brand no longer hold good in the SCAM world.
Don't be insecure. They will come through. They are probably not giving you or other new hires the letter yet since that will include retainer fee which will make its way to LI.
~R, what's up?
Don't get overwhelmed by all the negative venom being spit here. These guys will not give you a job, or feed you/ your family if you make a decision of not taking an offer at CAM (or any firm generally). So go for an offer, if you get one. Job market is tough. Keep that in mind always.
Coming to the point. I will tell you from my experience:
A. I had my interview round
B. After 2 working days I got a call from the HR, and they told me about the compensation and my location
C. I got the offer (on email) after about 18-21 days. I had to call the HR one time in between.
All the best.
Cheers.
When the billing reached an all time high as did the markets during the lockdown, they never spoke of that. SO SMAAARTTTTT! Not to mention the PR gimmicks like permanent WFH and highest paymaster.
If that's how you treat your people, they will treat you back the same way. You get the respect you give to others - it's always a two-way street.
As for the typical HR cliche of "100 others being there to replace you" - it applies to every single job in the world! We'll all be replaced on this planet within the next 100 years anyway. So please don't live with such low self-esteem.
Please note that everyone wants the AMARCHAND Stamp. For every one person who hates to be there, there are 100's who want to get in... and these people probably have a better skill set than the whiney one.
I would ask you to not get too attached without at least a verbal confirmation.
If you have gotten an oral confirmation, with repeated follow ups, I think you should ideally receive it within a month. You're in for a bumpy ride, mate.
I'm sure it's an extremely frustrating time for you. But hang in there, try to remain positive. I hope you get your offer letter and joining soon!
Goodluck.
