Hello fishes, I got offer from 3 companies i.e ey, capgimini and hexaware with around 8 years exp and offers are almost around same with little bit variations. So needed help from you guys to decide which one will be better to join in terms of work life balance, flexibility, yearly hike and employee benefits. Really appreciate your inputs on this. Thanks in advance. EY Hexaware Technologies Capgemini

Wow. By the powers vested in my by nobody, i hereby declare PwC as officially being at the bottom of our big 4 stack. EY suddenly looks a whole lot better. I almost joined PwC a few years ago. Thanks dog to the kind partner who counseled me to stay.
I understand how this can be demotivating. Without knowing current salary and years as mgr though it is difficult to say how much you are getting worked over. At some point any job has a max it can pay and raises only come via inflation driven band adjustments. It's clear since they rolled out cohorts this situation is expected - drives up or out if you want pay increases. In theory it can be fair if cohort is banded to market pay and bonus is reflective of performance for year - not convinced we have these right yet though
No one makes that OP, that's the jump from M to D. From the sounds of your message, you may have screwed yourself by not going up this year. You sound like a shoe in for next year. Leaving now would seem like a waste of years of building your network here. Have another good year and make Director. Chin up 😁 positive thoughts
OP - correct. In your group you'll make 185 as a D1. You are capped right around 160 as a M. In between that range you'll have diff geos, diff groups with slight diff bands, and purely for an equivalent local/group perspective experienced hire Ms who came in pre cohort that were overpaid to get in the door (a practice which supposedly stops with cohort)
So what happens if OP gets an 180K offer elsewhere. Will PwC match? What about cohort system then?
I am planning to have that after the holidays. We'll see what my RP says. I mentioned to my RP that I do want to have that discussion about Director during the call we had about my results.
Make sure you look at this years' Advisory Expectations placemat...it has changed and some people will get royally screwed because of it.
What level are u now?
Wow really??
@DD1. No good authority. I can go up but will be competitive.
Damn OP, that sucks
What's your current pay at? And what about bonus?
Unbelievable.... waiting for the same people who are drinking the koolaid in other very similar posts to defend why this happen. Sorry OP
Yes top of cohort band but stayed the same band from last year.
But you got the max bonus right?
Please tell me you got a nice bonus tho
So demotivating, sorry OP
Happened to me last year too, top rating and no raise since I was at top of Salary band. 😤
Op - what year as a manger ?
Now 4th year
Are around the 180k I guess ?
