Can people confirm that this is a crazy increment across levels?
HK really wants to stop the talent drain to TL.
How much if I may ask?
Senior told me A2 to A3 hike is some 60k per month, apparently marginally better in fixed than 3L.
A3, Delhi β€”> 2.15 p.m fixed.

Can people please confirm for different levels.
But I guess bonus will be left to the discretion of the firm? Meaning bonuses will be on the lower end?
Yes, fixed retainer for A3 (A2 as per KCO nomenclature) is 26 lakhs. just a few lakhs short of what people at 3legal get intoto. If they keep up paying bonuses like this year. KCo may be the highest paymaster.
Hi, could you explain what you mean by A2 in KCo nomenclature actually referring to an A3? Thanks!
You are a fresher and not an incoming A0. You will become an A0 next year and an A1 in the year after.

This is different from other firms where you enter as an A0 and then become A1 in the very next year.
A0s still payed the lowest. Kco should atleast add the variable component for a0s and make it 18. Hell even some t2 firms pay more
For A0s we’ll only know when they send out offer letter
Far from crazy, just the industrial (corporate) increment for a hard working employee. A 10% increment on your fixed component is nothing but peanuts in exchange for the slavery. Kaat Diya HK ne.

-SA2 at KCO
How are the levels defined in KCO?

Fresher (upto 9 months)

A0 - next 12 months

A1 - onwards

Or something different
You must have performed poorly. It’s okay. Try better next year.
Boss, A2 (1.55pm) to A3 (2.15pm) is a jump of 38.7%.
What is the salary for the newly minted SAs and PAs?
From where are you getting the bonus component? That is never disclosed beforehand in KCO.
Calculation error, A3 is 25.8 (2.15 x 12).
And yes, no one knows about bonus beforehand.
Khaitan A3 is someone who didn’t get sa…
PA 3 - non corporate - 3.50 per month

Bonus was 27 lakhs
That is very low compared to 3L still. C3's in TL can get INR 1 CR.
Trilegal's non-corporate counsel level's compensation is also not uniform across all practice areas.
That's for certain corp teams and not every team. Not every counsel at 3L is making 1 Cr
What is the salary of SA1, SA2 and PA1 in Khaitan for corporate?
Please someone tell SA1, SA2 and PA1 salary for corporate at KCO?
