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.

1. AZB has a good salary, great client credits but horrible bonus structure. It's also designed in a way to trap you into sacrificing your bonus in case you want to move laterally (reviews, increments and bonuses are rarely given before September)
2. There is no guarantee that you will be made partner. You will have to demonstrate not only a high level of work skills but also pull clients.
3. Do it only if you are getting a substantial increment and factor in that they will not give you a raise the following year (on one pretext or another) and they will screw you over for your bonus whenever you leave (be it after 1 year or 10).
1. What should be the fixed and variable component (just looking for a range). % of variable component usually paid out.
2. Usual time taken to be promoted to partner position.
3. Any thing specific to be kept in mind considering its a lateral movement.
Thanks in advance for the help.
