Hello everyone!
Can anyone please explain the promotion process followed here and specially at LCCI? If there's any minimum criteria like X no of years in a particular level, etc. followed while checking eligibility of an employee?
And also - what's the hike/increment range usually at the time of promotion?

Not quite. I'm saying that as an Associate, you cannot expect meaningful mentorship while also asking to WFH.
The difference between your situation and my situation is that I'm at a point in my career where I don't need the same mentorship that you do.
P1 that is not even close to what I was asking. I never even said that I specifically wanted to work from home on a regular basis. I’d be fine with working in the office but at least wanted to know if I would be permitted to WFH one day should the need arise, such as needing to move, having children etc.
And also, why do you assume I’m a first year associate? I’m in my 7th year of practice and 3rd year in this particular area of law. Admittedly not as experienced as you but not exactly a novice either. The type of mentorship I see myself needing is simply the ability to make a phone call to seniors to strategize. How exactly do you assume from my question that I’m only thinking of myself? Perhaps, instead of mentorship, I should have said, “collegial environment”.
What do you want to know about it?
Just in general, office culture, ability to work from home, availability of partners, mentorship etc.
Not trying to be sparky, but I just think it's interesting that you prioritize ability to WFH, combined with Partner mentorship. The mentoring happens in office.
The best mentors I had at firms were in other offices and we spoke on Zoom.
I don't. My office is in CA, but since 2020, I've been working from my 2nd house in FL about 90% of the time (which is not in Orlando).
And he refuses to mentor even though he’s not in office lol
great
