Opinions on this brand?

Hi, I am being offered 27L + 2L Variable for Manager (M1) at KPMG India. Will I also be eligible for year end performance bonus? Or is variable pay the only amount that I’d be eligible for?
Am I being lowballed by the HR in terms of offer ? Approx 8yoe currently at 21LPA (recently promoted) KPMG KPMG India

I did this (asked my seniors or managers to present to / interact with my bosses) all of the time. I did it to 1) teach them/get them used to speaking to higher-ups (i.e. more concise, cogent language.. holistic messaging... etc); 2) give them opportunity/interest to getting to the next level; 3) give me a chance to escalate them message- for example if the boss rejected the conclusion I could step in for a rebuttal; 4) because if they were good it was a lot less work for me.
Why can’t you?
Seriously? I’m 99% sure the manager is fully capable of asking themselves, but that is also your job and furthermore is the best and most appropriate way to learn. Some people can complain about everything! 🙄
For the most of time when i was asked to ask Sr manager questions is because the manager doesn’t want to make a decision that will potentially contradict to Sr manager’s and the manager has to either defend himself / herself or tell the senior to follow what Sr manager has decided. So every time when I work with such managers I do want to skip them and just ask Sr manager questions directly.
Because they are embarrassed that they don’t know. Or because they want you to practice.
Can you elaborate on 3? @SM1
