I am doing an assessment internship at RKD. I want to know about their pay for freshers. Please someone shed a light.

Around 25k pm. They also have a policy of holding back 5-10% of your salary until you leave. Most do not get that money. Also there's a 3 years lock in. If you leave within 3 years you need to pay the firm multiple lakhs and also let go of your 5-10% held back. Very odd place.

Is the pay same for Mumbai Office as well?

Lock in? I don’t think so we lawyers can be locked in. We are retainers who can’t be locked in unlike other employees.

Please share some insights? Some experienced professionals?

It's contractual. If you agree, you agree. Hope you've passed contracts? Has nothing to do with retainer or salaried! Even retainer agreements have non compete or cannot take alternate employment. Similarly here you agree on lock in.
