I am a young lateral who is switching to a different T1 law firm in mumbai. I just wanted to ask if it is fine to negotiate for a small raise from the previous T1 law firm salary to beat the expenses and living costs in mumbai. Tbh the cost of living is a bitch.
Fyi I will be discussing and negotiating soon. Do lmk your perspective and how much raise is justified and can be asked. You can also tell me how to start since it is my first transition.
Thanks!
