The work culture was not great in my opinion; the firm has working Saturdays which are WfH, the senior associates can be rude or dismissive, and the HR is like a school teacher. It is not the worst you will see, but it is certainly not good.
In addition, if you make the right moves, you could also end up making money comparable to an average partner.
So here it goes. Lawyers in 10 years do not make them partners at the end of the decade if they are not ready for it. The promotions from associate to senior associate and so on are performance-based at times. Dont know if this happens on every firm.
Second those principal associates/managing associates/counsel/partner designate are not made partners until and unless they are capable of it. Mostly firms train these new soon-going-to-be-partners.
Some are made to resign because they are not able to generate revenue for the firm. [Recent Dentons to Burgeon Law]
Some leave to join small firms to have a more relaxed work-life balance.
Others leave to start their own practice.
Would greatly appreciate it if anyone could let me know about any leads for the same, or any guidance in general.
Thank you!
I have no issues with working hard (I have worked long hours in non-corp but similarly demanding internships), but what really get to me are environments where extreme working hours are combined with a complete lack of guidance from supervisors. So, if anyone has recommendations for law firms with teams that actually mentor interns and maintain a professional, supportive work culture, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!
Some people inherit cribbing and the propensity to infect others with their cribbing.
Also any good recruiters for bombay?
