Whoa, that's low, I heard it was 5 a week until the group's total utilization is back over 82%...j/K... I'd speculate that if you're getting let go due to performance, they're not going to wait until Dec 1 to release all the pink slips. If it's because your chargeability sucks, they're not going to wait too long either..so those 17 people could be a mix of both

There is some formula by level as to how many weeks you can be in the bench. You will get a first and second warning email. If you get the second one then you are in serious jeopardy.

Hey Guys, What's up? Is Altimetrik is good enough to stay for long time? Joined sometime back still unaware of real truth. how they will behave when we will go through bench??

I have been working in my job for a year now but I have 5 years of experience. I am technically doing 3 full time jobs - marketing manager, social media manager & part time recruiter for a trucking company. I am starting to become overwhelm and SEVERELY underpaid. I’m only at 45k for all of the work I do.

So my question is how do you ask for a raise? How much should you project for over what you’re already making? What should you have prepared to back up your reasoning?

Same responsibilities, higher expectations, and lower pay than my peer group but I’m told that I’m the future... Not sure how to approach ... should I raise with HR or my boss?

Recently asked for a raise based on YOE and the salary band I’m in. Was asked specifically my reason/basis for asking and said something like “market data”. Now my supervisor wants me to provide the data. Said data is my handful of interviews at other companies (all of which were actually higher ranges than I’m asking at my current). how do I respond?

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Joined Blind over a month ago, and what an eye opener it has been. Tech salaries are insane. Even with the recent tech pull back and layoffs, some of the comps are on a whole another level. Friends in tech say, most layoffs have involved non-engineers (sales,HR, Ops,mrktng etc). Dudes in their late 20s pulling in 350k+. Unreal.

And then I look at my TC/bonus and a sense of disappointment washes over me. Short of becoming a partner, I don't think I can pull these numbers that tech bros post up.

Booking trips, I’m always “reigned in” to crowded holidays or weekends. I know I’m complaining about something most people would kill for, but it’s a struggle. I don’t really know what to do.
