Hard to say. You are a cost center in their eyes that don’t drive any revenue so when cost cuts happen, your jobs are high threat. This is exactly what Capco is experiencing where our investment firm CDR is soliciting bids for someone to take us over. Therefore cutting a lot of positions that would be redundant in new .org. I’ve also seen it where our pay is suppressed compared to someone on the consulting service side. We are treated like janitors in many cases.

I lateraled to my current firm less than a year ago, 2 months into the firm’s billable year. But I’m going to hit the yearly billable target regardless. What should I expect to receive as a bonus? Just regular bonus for hitting the billable target? Extra because I hit it in less than a full year? How does this work? Would appreciate any insight!

Hi LTI Fishes, I am new to this variable included pay structure. From my first company to current I am getting fixed pay only. So, I know how to calculate my in-hand salary with that. I can see here 10% is variable pay. I have some questions,

1. How much will be in-hand salary?

2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?

3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?

4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?

YOE: 7
