Hello ZSers,
I have been shortlisted for AC role and my HR discussion is scheduled next week.
1. Need some insights on the maximum and minimum ctc (fixed and variable) that can be offered for 3 yoe (all relevant) . My current ctc is 7.2 (6.5 fixed) . Tech stack - Big data and AWS developer.
2. Is there any joining bonus. If yes , what should be the ask.
Any inputs will be very helpful for me to go with my expectations to the HR. Thanks!

Was scheduled for an interview today for a Director pos. early morning I get a Reschedule request to next Wednesday but I cannot make it due to personal commitment .
Called recuit mgr.to let him know and he tells me the director is very busy as she’s the IT. Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co. Is worth pursuing that doesn’t value others time and that too a replacement pos for the same busy role 🥹
Is olive the next theranos or what?

Would anyone working at ZS Associates be willing to discuss day-to-day work and type of projects, preferably at the consultant level? Trying to make the switch to strategy consulting and want to see if my background would fit what they are looking for. I would really appreciate any time anyone has, even if it’s just for an email or two.

it is if you let them take advantage of you, I don't think you should be giving your employer the entirety of your health and sanity just to please them. They would replace you without a second thought if needed
It is not like that for me. You work to make money and that’s it. It’s not your identity nor does it make you better or worse. It is purely transactional. You need them and they need you. Take a vacay and leave the work laptop behind, if they are powerless without you, start applying to other jobs with better work life balance and be ready to move.
Really? I've heard such negative things about Lockheed, glad at least someone there is having a good experience
I apologize for informing you that yes, I have 5 years of experience and I have had to work shifts of up to 16 hours.
That sounds miserable, why are you letting them do that to you
it was kind of like that up until I decided to work for a better employer
Constant crunch time is failure in planning and leadership. COuld be that too many contracts are being picked up or timelines are not being realistically set to allow people to work normal schedules. It's normal SOMETIMES but iff it's the norm you might want to get out of there
It sounds like you're feeling really run down and burned out. Unfortunately, crunch time is a reality for many workers in today's economy. While it's definitely not ideal, make sure to take breaks throughout the day, even if it's just for five minutes. Get up and walk around, or take a quick nap if you can.
Try to stay organized and focused. Break down your tasks into manageable chunks and set deadlines for yourself. Take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Eat healthy foods, get enough sleep, and practice self-care. Hopefully these tips will help you get through this tough time. Remember to stay positive and don't be too hard on yourself!
I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking if this is how it is for everyone else in their industry? Or are you asking if this is how it is for everyone else at your company? Because I have never been overworked in this industry, maybe I'm just lucky,
I had a job that was like this. Unrealistic deadlines and somehow it was on us if the work wasn't done on time. I quit, found a job that respects normal work hours and am so much happier for it.
Sounds like a serious management issue. This shouldn't be the norm, especially if people are starting to burn out. Have you approached management about this and told them it's unsustainable?
