Does this mean that its better to be a salaried partner in larger firms than equity partner in HSA.

Yes! Do you have a doubt? BTW what is the size of her bill book?

LI has its facts wrong - she was a salaried partner at HSA. The designation for both equity and salaried partners in HSA is 'partner', which may have given rise to this confusion.

Lots of exits from HSA - does not seem like the firm is being able to reinvent itself in the manner that it intended. Megha is a good resource and had played a significant role in setting up the HSA Bangalore office. If HSA hopes to grow and reinvent itself it will need to be transparent in all matters and upfront about its expectations from partners and associates alike.

Nothing is going on at HSA. Transparency has always been and will always remain an issue with them. Sometimes, people don't learn no matter how broken they may get. I believe they have a word for it, yes, arrogance.

I am also very arrogant at my home when other family members are out!
