Having said that, the working scenario in Allahabad is also different from Delhi wherein the juniors/associates are not expected to remain associated with the senior for long or entrusted with most of the responsibilities. Rather, they are expected to find their cases and venture out within a few years. You also need to understand that the cost of living in Allahabad is on the lower side and a modest earning of Rs 25,000/- can also be considered as great.
So far as "doing everything", from what I have learnt from Delhi circles, the condition is better, since in Delhi circles you are paid on similar lines and you do "everything". However, not everyone in Delhi permits you to take personal work while remaining associated with the office. In contrast, in Allahabad, with higher pay you are required to justify it by being diligent in drafting, arguments and dealing with clients, but at the same time I haven't come across a single chamber refusing its juniors to take personal matters.
