Hi all, any idea how much does a first year In house counsel/legal team member makes in Fintech unicorns like BharatPe, CoinDCX, Groww etc?? Need help in choosing between law firm job and in house counsel work.
In the current market, If you care about job security then stick to a law firm.
If you want to make decent money in a start-up (unicorn or otherwise) and have a more interesting profile, then join after getting a little experience (4-5 PQE is my recommendation, but even upto 8-10PQE can work with some of the larger start-ups.

Your growth and learning won't be as much in a company as a law firm or your own independent practice (although a law firm path will usually give your more openings in start-ups).
had I not been kicked out, I'd had paid 80k per month to a fresher at BhatPe.
