Manager and after the bonus magnitudes change. Directors supposedly get contract incentives but no one ever disclosed to me first hand what kind.

Damnit D1 your probably right...

I cringe at the idea of “average,” my wife just thinks I’m “too obsessed” with being wealthy, but you’re right it’s not just about the money

Owning your own business isn’t quick or easy.

After 100k tho? Hell no I️ don’t believe that, maybe 30 years ago when 100k was a lot, I️ would say after 500k

@slalom becoming an independent contractor is more attainable than you may think, and you can set rates against what clients will pay.

If you think you get a promotion by “waiting”, then that’s a part of your problem...

@BA1 independent contracting is barely a business. I did it for 4yrs. Biggest problem is lining up back to back work. Running a business (to me) means having folks working for you. I did that for 4yrs, also. I found the work and directed my team - actually, did everything EXCEPT product delivery. Not fast to get rolling, and not easy doing everything except your craft. Sadly, my business dried up with the economy.

Also, stress. Hard not knowing where your next check is coming from or if you’re going to be able to pay your people.

Hello fishes,

I have got offers from EXL and Genpact for Data Engineering Consultant position both with same payscale, I am a bit skeptical of which one to choose. YOE : 5 years
And how much remuneration can I expect from EXL with 5 yoe in Azure Data Engineering(ADF+Synapse+Databricks+PySpark+SQL) domain?

Will request you guys for your feedback.

Thanks in advance

1 yoe as a business intelligence developer and just under 1 yoe as a Junior data engineer for a startup. My current company is in talks with me to hire me as a data engineer right after I graduate with my bachelors degree. From what I’ve seen online (averaging 5 different sites, I am including Glassdoor but only the number they have listed as the base) I’m currently expecting about 85k base. Does this seem too high? Just looking for some opinions before I go in for my interview.
