Does Natwest bank pay as competitive as Morgan Stanley Deutsche Bank. I mean Associate in MS and DB ranges from 20 to 30 lakh. However when I tried applying to Natwest expecting 40% hike (30 lpa) on current pay of 21 lakh. They straightway rejected me and said its not in their budget. Is there any financial firm which can pay as competitive to Mumbai banks. Barclays Deutsche Bank Natwest group BlackRock

Look up the latest news regarding that sector, and be personable and ask good questions like how did they get started in this sector bla blah blah
None of my questions were substantive law/skills. All of my questions were about interacting with internal clients, how I would handle certain situations, and my general approach to practicing and giving advice. They did ask if I had experience with xyz as it was applicable to the position, but nothing substantive. I came prepared with lots of examples of situations where I had built/maintained/improved relationships with clients.
You don’t have to know every element of the relevant law when you take on a new job or new case. Look at litigators. Every case is different because their clients change and with them the business they have to learn and deeply understand. Learning new things is what we lawyers do. Knowing how to issue spot and ask the right questions and then find the answers or the people who can get those answers - that’s what makes a good lawyer. And, imho, what makes being a lawyer interesting and even fun.
You should be somewhat familiar with what the company does but ultimately they’re looking for fit. They’re likely aware you’re new to the industry from looking at your resume, but feel you may be trainable. What they want to know is if you’re a good fit for the team (if there is one) or the dept. Focus how the business views the law dept, how the job became available and what goals the GC or hiring manager have for the role day-to-day and the overall dept. G’luck!
Be prepared to walk through hypos about how you’d handle a situation… more focused on your thought process than substantive law.
