Bharucha will pay you the best, and torture you the most. (Started my career in BD there)
Trilegal does pay around that ballpark, though you will be considered to be an employee, and won't have a retainer. (Basically bahaut tax katega. [I work here now])
Solomon & Co is inadvisable to go to as an A1 because they need someone to do basically everything for them. You need to be at least an A3 to take on that role. (I rejected an offer from them for the same reason)
Argus is decent but again, you will be considered to be an employee. The culture is easy going, and Aarti is fun to work with. (Been invited to join them a few times)
1. The paralegals in the Mumbai office last year got converted to A0s. You work well, fit into the culture, and they'll convert you.
2. There is a very small banking and finance team (▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ refuses to do banking mandates anymore, and they have hired ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮ ▮▮▮, to take over the reins ▮▮▮) ▮▮▮. There is little to no work at times, but when there's work, it's raining work.
3. Pay - decent.
4. Culture - BAD. ▮▮▮
As someone who used to work there, I can tell you that K Law is not a place to start your career at. It's best for lawyers who have given up on their drive and zest for the law but want to take it slow now.
Practice Development, or Business Development Teams in law firms are responsible for aiding the fee earners to leverage their positions within the legal market to the fullest in order to gain recognition, and consequently, clients.
The job encompasses a wide variety of tasks like market research, social media, strategy, law firm relationships (if you're in a T1 and have Partners with connections to a lot of international law firms), submissions (a big part of PD/BD), league tables (also a big part of the job), analysis and recommendations for events, for participation, sponsoring, and/or speaking, etc.
While this position isn't necessarily for lawyers, a lot of individuals with law degrees opt to pursue this career path. One may also be eligible to work in PD/BD in law firms if they're well versed in marketing, possibly hold an MBA, and have relevant experience at Big 4 consultancy companies.
Personally, I have a degree in marketing, an LL.B and an LL.M, and I work in this vertical (ironically started out at Bharucha. Barf.). You can follow a bunch of people on LI to get a better idea of this side of legal services.
Girl, DO NOT mix profession with the personal. It's going to be hard enough for you to be taken seriously as a woman once you're out without you possibly looking like a fool over an infatuation.
