Hi, I been working for Lloyds Bank for almost 9 years now , I recently attended a interview for Barclays and offered an Senior Business Analyst AVP role in Wealth and private banking area. I did not see much difference in the salary offered and it is pretty much same ie 68.5k.But the difference is current role is London based, however the Barclays one is based in Glasgow where cost of living is less in comparison. I am unable to decide whether to take the offer or not..any suggestions will be helpful pls.
I’m currently working in Citi as an AVP in Mumbai for the past 9 months.. due to personal reasons I wanted to move back to Pune (I have worked in Pune for last 8 years before coming to Citi) so I landed up with an offer from HSBC into Wholesale IT (GCB5).
My current Fixed CTC in Citi is 26.5 excluding PF and Retrials and HSBC IT has offered me 30.5 for the same and said they cannot increase further as am moving jobs in after 9 months which is too early..
Questions -
Have I been low balled?
Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

Lol damn do they have 22-40 year olds working in the same role? Why the huge range?
No consultant or analyst for that matter is making 60k.
As a consultant you’re looking at at least 110k - 140k base.
Some folks don’t want additional people management responsibility and are just SMEs with a crapload of exp so there may be a few outliers pushing 200 at the consultant level
Left consulting last year. Work for a tech company now. Not FANG.
- High level Resume walk through and understanding of Skillset / Qualifications.
They use this to understand which competency you will align with, best. And then they will match it with their current requirements.
Keep in mind that they will not hire you unless they have an immediate need to fill in a position that you’re a fit for.
- Then they will tell you about Slalom and what they do - history etc.
- Comp expectations
- Location Constraints
- Availability
That’s pretty much it.
It will be a chill, friendly conversation.
Next Steps - Based on all the above info, they will connect you (telephonic interview) with somebody from the team they think you will be a fit for.
^ not true. I know consultants in Atlanta making in the 80s
I’m already at 130 base. Can I realistically expect a 20% bump?
SA1 - wow 😮
Damn OP, which firm?
You probably won’t get much of a jump. Tbh
How did the conversation go, OP?
Depends on your years of experience. I noticed in the last couple years they’ve gotten more “conservative” in their offers. If you have, say, <5 years of experience, you might not crack $100k for example.
Was looking at their Salesforce practice recently asking 130 and they said they couldn’t afford me 🤷♀️ took Accenture’s offer instead
