Hi all, just looking for a range, what should should someone with ~3YOE in consulting (targeting Senior Associate) expect for a base salary.

And when giving a range is it better to overshoot knowing they’ll bring it down?

What you prefer to tell when people ask your income?

I usually prefer in hand salary 😇
As CTC and in hand after tax deduction is too much different.😑

Hello Everyone,
How's Societe Generale as a workplace, what's the culture and work like, average hike given and chances of Promotion? Should I consider it?

I’m planning to accept a new position in the next couple of weeks, but I want to negotiate my salary. I’ve been a NP for about 5 years and have been making around $110k. How could I try to negotiate for $125k-130k?

Hello All,

I have recently received an offer letter from NTT data, may i know the average yearly hike and WLB.
Role: Consultant
Skill: SAP MM
Exp : 4.3 years

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Hi Fishes,

I have offer from
Barclays
Vanderlande
Happiest Mind

Which would be better

Same package for all organization

Yoe-11.5
Current CTC -17.8
I have got an offer of 24.5 and designation AVP. I got what I asked.

Did I asked less?? Can I re-negotiate the offer? I don't have any other offer right now.

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).

Do you feel like turnover has now diminished after this busy season or will it kick up again as we approach the next one?

At this point, I'm wondering if most firms have hired enough people or they are still on the lookout due to shortage.

Any Perth 🐠s? I’m supposed to go back to US next week but given all that’s happening over there, I’m wondering if I should delay going back.. I realize things will get bad here too though. Thoughts?

Would this be a fair move to get into consulting? I also have a couple more interviews and and a referral to Deloitte. Insight would be appreciated!

How did you deal with bad impostor syndrome when applying for jobs even though you know you are more than qualified?

Hi y’all,
I am resigning from my position. I don’t have a job secured yet, but I have a couple interviews lined up. I’m wondering if I should tell my admin tomorrow (before going on break) or wait until I have a job secured.
FYI: I found one document saying I need to give a 30 day notice and the employee handbook says 2 weeks to be in “good standing”.
Any advice would be helpful.

Looking to hire one or two paralegals in Baton Rouge, La. DM if interested! Firm is primarily civil litigation and PI defense for plants and trucking.

I feel like such a failure. I know about imposter syndrome and I know everyone feels like a failure. But I suspect in my case I truly am. I feel like I am just not good enough. I have tried to do...

Hi fishes

Would Middle East offices still hire many people this year or sort of at a hiring freeze? (Think post-mba level)

Definitely going to be a noobie question!

My client's medical provider asked for his PIP ledger: how do I get that? Just send a LOR to the carrier and ask?

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

I understand that in most cases folks with <2 YOE will join with the same title as UG campus hires. How many YOE (or months of experience) will qualify you for a higher pay band (compared to campus hires)?

The answers might vary across firms and I’d appreciate if you can specify which one you are referring to - TIA!

Hi Everyone,

Literally all of my LinkedIn connections are recruiters lmao

Very new to being headhunted by recruiters on LinkedIn, should I be concerned with sending recruiters my resume or anything along those lines if they’ve messaged me?

BDO recruiter reached out for an audit senior position in the DC area. Recommended or not? And why? Insights appreciated!!

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?

Have my first call with a recruiter regarding a job they reached out to me about on LinkedIn. First call I’ve ever take regarding industry. Any helpful tips on what to ask? I don’t know the company
