Almost at the end of my NP.
Need advice regarding my final dilemma.
Current: 12.5LPA
YOE: 3.5
Offers in hand:
Deloitte USI- Consulting (CBO) : 14 fixed+10% var+ 1.5 JB
Cognizant: 18+1 var
Getting Healthcare Consultant profile in both
I won't be getting any hike/variable in Cognizant next year due to my off-cycle entry.
Will be getting some hike/var in Deloitte on pro-rata.
If I look at long-term, I'll Deloitte will get me at par with its good enough hikes every year. More in comments

I would say this. The exit from Deloitte will be much better than from a body shop like Cognizant.
For example, I am from India but based in the US, and have dealt with both Cog and Deloitte. In the US, people spite the likes of Cognizant, Infy, TCS etc and know how terrible a company they are to work for.

Two things, Cognizant has more levels and you would need more promotions to grow than Deloitte. And two, Deloitte will give you much higher raises and bonuses. I have been with D three years and got 15+% bonus every year except the covid year. Third, exit from Deloitte will be much better, a Deloitte manager will get a better exit than a Cognizant manager.

Finally, Deloitte's reputation is much higher which will help you if you want to go to B-school or if ever decide to move out of India.

No one pays free money, or gives free credibility, so for sure, Deloitte will probably make you work harder too.

I agree with every point you just added.
Just feel I'm gonna have the FOMO of getting the big bucks out of the GreatResignation!
But yeah, Deloitte makes total sense.

Cognizant will put me at a considerably higher fixed,
already
If I switch after a year or so, I'll be with a good figure in
hand.
But who is to say I'll get another Big4 offer next year?
I'm actually having FOMO from the piping hot market,
considering that I am making a switch and still won't be
getting something hefty if I join Deloitte. On the other
hand, exit opportunities from Deloitte will be better than
from Cognizant

Tough call bro. Decide according to your priorities

I’m negotiating my salary, and I’m curious what a reporter/digital editorial lead makes at your company? I have 15+ years of experience in employee communications and TV news, and I live in the Seattle area. I think I’m being shortchanged bc I’m asked to do some of my previous manager’s responsibilities (he was promoted), but I’m paid as a reporter. I report to my director who reports to our SVP, and I’ve worked for this Fortune 20 company for 10 yrs. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
