All equity firms less greedy.
Lala firms you spend life sucking up.
All equity firms you spend life camping up.
Lala firms no one so much as farts without the lalas approval. Then also your farts have to smell nice to the lalas liking.
All equity firms you can fart if the committe says it's ok to fart because they too are farting.
Basically it's a rock and a hard place. Go where you find a soft spot. Good luck.
There are only two non family owned tier 1 law firms in India. Trilegal and Jyoti Sagar Associates. Your options are too less.
If you think these firms are any better. You are wrong. Hours and culture are equally brutal whether it's all equity or family.
The only difference is - in family firms. You will see founders kids having an edge and see them becoming partner with good amount of equity no matter how they dumb they are. But this difference doesn't affect unless you are like a senior partner.
