Wouldn’t say it doesn’t pay well, 2 years of experience and pwc gave 118 salary +15 sign on. But yeah it’s no banking or MBB

What’s CDD

Commercial due diligence

Bingo!

FDD folks think they work in ibanking and they don’t….they don’t get paid like ibanking, they churn out the same reports and are at the beck and call of the client more so than any other function. Not worth it unless you love it IMO

Iba1 - yeah man the old tired trope of when you get proven wrong just say the other side is triggered, over reacting etc.

I’m sure y’all are terrific gaslighters in your personal lives

Hi Fishes,
Need advice.
I am currently working at a prod based company as a QA Engineer in a maintenance project. I joined 7 months back. They offerred me an SDET+DevOps role. And all this while I was mostly working on manual. There is no scope and value to automation in this project.

I have an offer from a service based company with 25% hike from my current ctc. They have offered a API automation project.

Is it wise to leave now or should I wait for an year?

Hey fishes, completed 3 tech rounds at Bosch.

On 22nd Nov, got a call from the consultant at taggd who has been arranging all my interviews. Told my expected CTC and she seemed a bit surprised but didn't negotiate and asked if I have any other offers? I asked when can I expected the OL, she said within a week but didn't take any documents. Can I expect the OL?

What is the pay for a technical writer with 7 years of experience at Siemens?

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
