If anyone here has worked with the founders before, can you please share what working for them was like? I've generally heard good things about NDA trained lawyers, especially in terms of quality of work and the work culture, work life balance, etc. Also, if anyone can give a ballpark figure of how much they pay to A0s, that would be great.
Thanks!
Can anyone update on the A0 pay?
Thanks in advance
A0- 9 lakhs
A1- 11 lakhs
A2- 13 lakhs
These are all fixed, add 1-2 lakhs of bonus to this.
However there were few things that didn't cut it for me. One of the associates made my life difficult. This person was so passively aggressive and made absurd comments regarding the output. The work was not explained by this concerned person and when reached out to, was so indifferent about it.
One of the partners also has a habit of making rude comments unknowingly. He/she may not notice it, but it surely does affect a person.
Getting back to the work hours, you may leave at 2-3 but there is substantial amount of work, especially in the gen corp and banking teams. The exposure is great, but do not expect a chill time.
The pay is okayish, around 12lpa, I don't know the pay at higher levels.
The funds team seemed very chill and the people were nice too. Wish I interned with them, would have changed my perspective.
