Do you think compensation is in reality a matter of effective negotiation or competency?

I think compensation is a matter of supply and demand. We are seeing that now more than ever as people are willing to take significant decreases in pay after layoffs to have an income again.

Is it common now in your industry? I never heard a case in my company or the similar companies where employee took a downgrade to maintain their job, unless there is a down-role change. Either loss of job or staying at the same salary.

More being able to negotiate, I think. It would not surprise me at all to find people more than competent but no clue how to advocate and negotiate for themselves. Took me a long time to figure it out.

Mix of negotiation and the economic status of the company. Companies will give you a number they're comfortable with but most of the time you can ask for higher that's within range.

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation.

(Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)
