Are the Milbank base salary raises just going to replace the end of year special bonuses that became the norm the past couple of years? If so, not really a raise…

How is it not a raise. That’s your new minimum base every year going forward

If I were Milbank, I’d do away with the “special” bonus starting this year and just fold those amounts into the regular year-end bonus going forward. That way, when it’s all said and done, the increase in base salary and year-end bonus would amount to a meaningful bump in overall comp.

But it’s all speculation at this point obviously so we’ll just have to wait and see.

It’s great because everyone will get the increase even people who miss hours!

You do a good job on your matters, be a good human being, treat everyone well, and work with people you like. Doesn’t mean I’m billing 1000 hours either, but I haven’t billed 1950 hours since I was a third year.

If I were Milbank I’d add it to my base salary. Milbank pays bonus to everyone anyways so mind as well put pressure on lower PPP firms so they either raise base salary or no longer be market. I always wondered why they don’t do that.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9

Switching team internally competing with external candidates. was asking a promotion for next grade midpoint but was ok to accept >=50% hike which i told hiring manager before the process start itself which he said will consider if I'm the one selected.

Attended 5 rounds-- 1 coding, 2 technical, 1 managerial, 1 hr. Now after 2 months telling me I'm the selected one, but offering me just 20% hike and same grade

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.
