Majmudar seems to be blazing all guns in recruiting senior level hires in the recent past. I haven't heard of too many senior level hires by Indian law firms in the last one year. Senior/partner level hires (particularly as an associate partner, therefore giving the impression that he is not getting a huge revenue book or clientele to Majmudar along with him) come anyways at a very high cost. Plus maintaining the cost of their teams. Majumdar must be having lot of funds/work/revenue to sustain this kind of recruitment
No 3: don't apply your mind beyond your capability. Chris has an amazing cv an will be an asset to majmudar: try and focus on your work- oh, just realised you seem so out of work, poor you!
