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.

Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
* Value the company to determine the price for the IPO
* Draft the business section
* Bring in the Institutional investors by doing roadshows
* Most importantly cordinate with all the intermediaries, to get the offer documents out and take the heat from SEBI.
For all of this they get a % based fee of the issue in most cases. A seasoned MD of a top Indian IB would anytime earn more than an EP.
Coming to general corporate roles in-house, that totally depends on your luck, if anything opens. If it is a well paid opening, GC or M&A guys would have an edge over you.
All in all if you need better hours and very less pay, exchanges are the way to go. A bit higher pay and decent hours - then inhouse counsel roles, but GC and M&A guys would be preferred. GREAT pay and shitty hours - IB is the way to go, but you need a grip over finance.
Ideal timeline is ASAP, the more you stay the more it is difficult to get out of this niche.
