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?
Business class to Europe/ US- very common. Your juniors get this too.
5 Stars in Europe- with some luck. 4 stars (which are great business hotels) are very common. Your juniors get this.
Study leave/ sponsorship - less common but happens often enough for this to not raise eyebrows any more. Sometimes, you can nominate your juniors.
Office Car and Driver - Indian companies do this, but it's an overrated benefit. Most people at this level prefer to buy their own car, and decide for themselves whether they want to drive or hire their own driver.
Club Memberships - every department head at an MNC typically gets this, including the GC. This is again an overrated benefit. You're treated like some nouveau riche upstart, unless you're an actual life member. Everyone with corporate membership sees the writing on the wall and applies for permanent membership. It's better to hire nepo kids and make them get you the signatures.
