Hi sharks, I have cleared 2 technical rounds of TSYS and Now Managerial Round is pending. I have read that they ask for expected CTC during managerial round and if you ask high CTC then they put your profile on Hold. So, how much CTC can I ask, my YOE- 3 years, Tech Stack- Java, Spring Boot and Microservices, Current CTC - 10.5 LPA
Please help!!

You are employed by the law firm but are usually cut off from your law firm email/time keeping software. I think there is a bill code inputted for your time with the client.
I’m on secondment and I’m not cut off from my email / other resources. My assistant enters 7 hours every day under the firm’s “secondment” billing code. Firm still pays my salary like normal.
You’re still an employee of the firm, so you keep your salary and benefits while showing up to work at the client’s office
I had coworkers on remote secondments that just came to the firm office and did their work from there. Completely connected to the firm intranet and everything. Also have seen part time secondments but have heard that it's not ideal because it's hard to say no to work and stay at like 20 billables a week.

Agree that you are still an employee of your firm and will be paid salary and benefits directly by your firm. You're providing a huge benefit to your firm as a secondee by helping maintain the relationship between client and firm.
If you're a part time secondee (i.e., only providing 20-30 hours per week of work to the client), you'll still have full access to your firm's systems in order to do firm work to meet the rest of your billable expectations. It'll vary by client and firm whether full time secondees have that access to firm systems. An associate in my group was just seconded to Meta full time for 6 months and she wasn't allowed any access to firm email or document systems while she was seconded to Meta (but was still invited to our firm events and holiday parties).
Whether the client pays the firm for your time is going to be dependent on the individual contract between the parties. For example, clients with really high spend at a firm may have in their agreement that they get 1 month of a secondee's time free for every million dollars they spend with the firm on billable work.
Does the client pay the firm for your salary?
It depends. Depending on the clients importance to the firm, the firm will usually negotiate a discounted rate (and in at least one case, loaned out the secondee to the client at no cost to the client)

I did one for a company. No different than working with a regular client except I was “suppose” to work for that client up to 20 hours a week. 20 hours in my case was too much and ended up being 5 hours a week. I know some others where it’s basically their full time job while still being employed at the firm. They had a separate laptop and email. But, they still had a firm laptop for other firm related work.
