Spent a decade in various roles, at the Medical Center (local), VISN (regional), and VACO (national) level. What kind of insight are you looking to have?

It actually isn’t that horrible, working for 10 years in a transparent world and now transitioning into the private sector, I can tell you we have more anxiety and issues with pay equity and discussions among staff and other organizations than I ever did working for the VA. I really enjoyed knowing what I could make for any job and where I had been. It takes a lot of BS and competition out of it.

Hi All,

I have an offer of 6.5 LPA fixed with Accenture (Level 11). Total CTC in Accenture is 7.8 LPA which includes variable pay. I have an offer of 8 LPA fixed with another company. I have accepted the offer of Accenture so now if I ask Accenture to increase my fixed amount to 7 LPA from 6.5 LPA, will my request get fulfilled and is this fair to ask? My joining date is 20-21 days from today. Please suggest

I have been at the current hospital I work at in administration for about 11 years now. I am treated great, love the people and love the hours. They allow me to really create my own schedule based on my needs and have taken great care of me over the past 11 years. The only problem is that our CEO has stated that we will never be a company that gives yearly raises, merit based or cost of living. I have been offered another job with a competing hospital but scared to leave. Advise?
