You start getting bill share, A1 onwards. Compensation for A1 comes out as:

14.4L + 4-6L + 3.5L = 21-24 lakhs (bill share is dependent on your team, practice area and billing)

You need to bill 3x of your compensation for 100% bonus. For example, if an A1 is making 21 lakhs, he/ she would have to bill 63 lakhs for 100% bonus which is not that difficult to do. Have seen A3/A4s bill a crore too

TTA - 15.8 L (fixed) + 3 L (bonus) [18.8 L]

JSA - 14.4 L (fixed) + 4-6 L (bill share) + 3L (bonus) [21.8 - 23.8 L]

CAM - 17.6 L (fixed) + 4 L (bonus) [21.6 L]

KCO - 18 L (fixed) + 3.5 L (bonus) [21.5 L]

AZB - 15.8 L (fixed) + 4.2 L (bonus) [20 L]

- These are last year's figures for KCO, not sure what it is for this year.

- Also SAM A1s are getting anywhere between 21 L - 22.5 L, but I've heard the most common compensation is around 21.5 L (16.5 L + 5 L).

- All the figures above will have minor deviations depending on your reviews/team/billing.

- AZB and TT&A continue to be the least paying Tier 1s at Associate level at least.

I am a 5th year law student from a (barely) tier 2 NLU, interested in Gen Corp. I am looking for opportunities to better my profile in this area of law - anything reputed and credible, idk, courses, virtual internships, etc, that anyone is aware of? Not from a hiring perspective at the moment, just want to build a good profile

Yes, some people go to IB schools.

Then they go to Jindal.

Then they go to London or New York for an LLM.

Then they apply to AZB, JSA etc through a contact and get accepted.

Then they may well find the work too straining/tedious and join a think tank or invest in startups, living comfortably off family wealth. ….

And so? Deal with it. We are not North Korea.

Also, I hope you know that when middle-class NLU grads become HNIs, their kids end up doing the same.

So stop hating. Study hard, get good grades, get a good job. You too will become an HNI. Don’t slack off and then come to LI to vent.

2025 batch here, joined in May 2025 at a T3 firm. i would like to switch to a T2 or T1 within this year, how is that done, i am a first generation lawyer and got in the firm through a ppo. i have no idea on how to make a switch- do i hire a recruiter or approach firms directly. currently my pay as a trainee is 45k i would like that as a A1 i get near 18-20. My area of interest is general corporate

A few LGBT people already stay in such space, they have a floor in one of the girls' hostels more or less dedicated to LGBTQ students.

As for having sex (heterosexual sex), I don’t think they would be allowed in so easily. Anyway, there are plenty of other places. I’ve had sex at the basketball court (earlier it was a good spot, now it gets busy), behind the auditorium (a lot), and the best place was near the Animal Law Centre. One time, I even had sex on a jhula, which was also good. But the problem is, as a cis het male who wanted to hide his affairs to avoid gossips, I could not sneak in girls, and these places were the only resort.

Not all of them are released. I will only start asking serious questions about Israel's conduct once each and everyone of them is released - that is, when the living are returned home and the dead bodies are with their families and berried with dignity. Oh yes, and when Hamas has disarmed and left Gaza for good. Until then, I will continue, among other things, to be critical of the British for suspending arms export licenses to them.

Return the Israeli hostages first. Get Hamas out of Gaza and make sure they can't come back. People have been saying it for a year. Then we will talk about what the Israeli government does.

If selfish people like you stopped being a disgrace to the name of humanity and a blot on the landscape, and actually gave a fuck actually about Palestinians, you would be blasting Hamas left, right and centre every day, bombarding and flooding social media to call on the return of the Israeli hostages. Even if you hate Israel blindly (as you clearly do), the logic can be that return the hostages and that will be the moral high-ground to start accusing the Israeli government afterwards.

And as for your last argument, that's anyway what they want to do (read the Hamas charter - actually read it). According to you, Israel has been not so much bad and horrible as foolish, legitimising the actions of them when that is what they want to do anyway. See? Israel keeps looking bad. Even those like me who are totally unwilling to go along with this woke nonsense can't help but scratch your 'I-hate-Israel' itch, because the world (and that includes you) is psychologically conditioned to hate them.

This is true, however, note the fact that NDA pays only to some NLU guys, even when the ones who does not possess necessary skill set. It is not a firm, which respects hard work. Trust me, I had been with this firm as an intern for very long time, worked with the team for long hours, weekends and was dumped, why? because I'm not from a Tier-1 law college. Please consider twice before thinking of wasting your important months and months of time on this firm.

Watch a few episodes of the BBC comedy show 'Yes Minister' and its later incarnation, 'Yes Prime Minister'. Even though that is a satirised representation of the British civil service, many of the fundamental principles of how a civil service should run, as articulated by the (fictional cabinet secretary, Appleby, played beautifully by Sir Nigel Hawthorn) are equally translatable to India. Hope this is helpful.

I was once able to get a reply from a partner at ▮▮▮ but he said my application is too early, and when I reached out at the suggested time he didn't respond. Same happened with ▮▮▮ once so I have developed some trust issues with cold mailing tier 1s, altho it has worked with some reputed advocates and tier 2s. Would it be feasible for you to share what you include in you cover letter ? I usually do this -

1. my intro with year of study and desired month and team at the firm.

2. relevant past internships

3. small para about why that particular team/ partner

it is so difficult to get a reply :(

Appearantly they have given a lot of campus internships across top 10-20 law schools for post 6th sem break in their offices. This pool of students is meant to be their primary source of placement via PPOs instead than Day 0. So yes just like CAM stated in LinkedIn they want to switch to PPO model same goes here. Even stipend this break was given to campus interns and not those with connections or individual applications.
