For IP teams the base salary is much lower and the bonus component is minimum.
I can agree across T1 kco has best to working culture, Ofcourse it depends on partners but in general. Kco doing wonders that way, better work environment > 1 lakh if you see long term.
Unbelievable. If they were worried I might leave after my bonus, I'd rather just do that earlier now
whats the highest an A0 at Trilegal can get? 22L? This thread says so , is it right can students ask upwards of 16.6 at day zero ?https://www.legallyindia.com/convos/topic/231708-Trilegal-Honest-salaries-at-each-level-
Great time to remind everyone that JSA's A0 pay is 60k for 6 months and then 80k for the next 6 with a bonus capped at 2 lakhs for exceptional performers. This makes them the worst paymaster out of all prominent law firms across tiers.
Is there any benefit over having the bonus component instead of a fixed salary? I always thought having a higher fixed in-hand salary is better than bonuses, because the bonus amount is variable and entirely dependent on the firm. So people might not even get bonuses?
This is really bad. Just got my offer letter and the removal of bonus component is a disappointment. Had offer from Trilegal also on my Day Z. Would have considered trilegal if i knew this then.
With the removal of bonus at the first year level, KCO is effectively paying a lakh lower than a tier 1 like Trilegal.
The offer letter mentions that the first bonus would only be handed out in March 2024 (if at all, completely discretionary ofcourse)
This is such a scam. Firms were offering 1L per month in 2012 to A0s, now they offer around 1L per month in 2022 to A0s. Other sectors have hiked starting pay multi-fold in the meantime.
People are eligible for bonus but they have not declared exactly how much. It would depend on the performance
HR naam ke jantu se directly kaahe nahiin poochhte be? Yahaan pe andaaze lagaane se kya hoga?
While they have hiked the fixed component of the retainer, new A0s will not be eligible for bonus at all in this financial year. Thoughts?
Anyway, this still seems highest base salary among the tier 1s.

Trilegal Base is 14.35 but the bonus of Rs. 2.25 lakhs making it to 16.6 lakhs in total
