see if you enter this space(which I recommend you don’t ) be ready to stick at LKS only. You will be better stay put with the firm as growth prospects outside the firm are quite bleak. There is virtually no rotation of resources in T1 firms, hence job opportunities are not good with this practice area.
Pay is less, but so is the work in comparison.
1. Is the indirect tax work segregated by sector or law or transactional / litigation?
2. Is the work life balance for indirect tax team good as well?
The exchange is that it is a little dry to work there, the money's not great but its certainly going to give you a fair life just forget about buying a top line MG on that salary, and it's easy to get comfortable with the work life there. Lastly -- you're not doing marquee matters there unless you're on the tax team.
And my god, are they miserly. They won't put air purifiers and heaters in their offices, even with all the pollution. They won't even have biscuits in the pantry, because it costs them money.
Oh, and don't even mention work life balance by mistake here. You'll be targeted for the rest of your tenure.
Honestly, at least the Tier 1 firms pay ▮▮▮. LKS doesn't. So, if you have any better options, run and never look back.
PS - just don’t tell anyone in office (especially seniors) that you have non veg here and it will be fine.
It's happened to multiple people in the firm now and close to no action is ever taken against the abusive bosses.
Oh, and if you ever mention your mental health, you're a goner.
For a firm that takes pride in its "work environment", LKS really doesn't value its people at all. Whether by way of compensation or any other form of appreciation.
And it's high time people get to know about this.
if not how much it pays?
or how much does ELP pay in competition?
