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.

Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Salary partners parasite on other teams including corporate or tax or cap markets or become execution partner doing all the good work for the equity.
Generally salary partners in early years not much expected to bring clients but just to execute and generate billable.
Everything dynamic is subjective depending upon the firm and team structure.
There is this partner who doesn’t have her/his own clientele but is essentially vulturing over the work given by people in higher management (there is no real management, just one dude controlling everything).
Basically, they put these kinds of partners on a PIP. I was also surprised because I always thought these law firms were experts at removing/firing associates lower down the professional chain who were unable to deliver work on time or whose work or behaviour did not align with the firm.
But yes, PIP. They give partners who are not meeting their targets some time to improve and also try to train them, basically. (Rather, they should give this training and development to associates instead of someone who doesn’t know anything and has somehow become a partner.)
Contrast with ISB, Ashoka and Azim Premji...
No. Celebrities get red carpet treatment. We only get T1 UG student treatment. Such treatment is earned by all T1 UG students at their UG institutions, across universities and even in different degrees.
You are simply not an NLS UG student. You surely didn't expect that your shortcut would magically deem you one? Surely the world is not so naive as to distinguish trivially between you, who are a UG student of elsewhere, and a BALLB kid, who is a UG student of NLS?
'Special' here implies 'arbitrary benefit'. The reality, however, is that they get ration, deserved benefit in consideration for their higher quality and abilities.
Good luck fellas, hope you find synergy at Cynergy!
Many more ELP partners have quietly stuck deals, but will leave only after collecting their balance (60%) bonus, which will be paid only by Diwali.
2. Yes, if the team likes you, you are most likely getting an assessment. BLC genuinely operates on merit (at least that is what i felt during my time there).
3. Yes, the procedure is same across offices.
All the best!

> They all hate each other.
Do they hate each other or do they sleep with each other? This requires clarification.
It is good to see the moderators having an open mind on this.
