I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.
In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.
I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.
Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?

This could absolutely happen. I think it takes a completely different skillset and thought process when comparing associate to partner. I’m in the same boat, I think I’m an avg to slightly above avg attorney, but think I have the ability to be a top tier partner. I communicate very well (so I’ve been told) and find it easy to develop meaning relationships just being myself. I’m also good at managing things at scale from a high level. While all of these skills are “nice to haves” for an associate they dont make an associate stand out in that capacity.
If you have the opportunity to be a partner and think you have what it takes, I say go for it. This may or may not be your calling, you’ll never know until you try it. Once you have the partner title, it can’t be taken away. If it doesn’t work, use it to springboard to something else more suitable.
I wish I could skip the road to partnership and go straight to it. That’s the toughest part having the staying power to get a shot. Good luck!
Thank you! I’m nervous in that I hope I can keep my business and continue to grow it. It’s different when it becomes any expectation vs an added bonus but, like you said, I’ll never know until I try.
Regarding skillset, I am better and derive more fulfillment from big picture things on the actual work, connecting with clients and most of all training associates (this gives me more fulfillment than I can express). I am poor at the grunt work (sometimes very good at it).
Yes this is definitely possible. I have seen it happen. It sounds to me like it will be a better fit for you and you may do alot better in an environment where you feel supported and excited. I would say take the job!
I definitely think some folks are better at being partners than associates. But typically the work is cumulative, at least to some extent.
Make sure your book is enough to support the staff you’ll need to do the work. If you’re not great at the actual work, you’re reliant on associates to do it for you. The numbers have to make sense for the firm from a profitability perspective.
Also, ask about the compensation structure. Some firm reward partners more for doing work themselves. Make sure this isn’t that kind of firm.
