EY said they offered the most they could for a senior consultant 140+10k bonus. But it’s only 10k more than I’m making now. I feel so bad about turning it down. How do I say no respectfully?

Just say what you’ve just said, that the offer is not competitive enough so you’re respectfully declining.

Agree. 10,000 after taxes is peanuts to start from the bottom as far as proving yourself goes.

Lol EY you’re not hiring me off of Facebook marketplace. Get real with those numbers.

For big 4 SC level that’s probably the highest you’re going to get with the exception of Deloitte if you have 4+ YOE. If you want 150k+ for base you’ll likely have to start applying to manager roles at most firms

$150k is very low for manager in this market. Maybe in 2018 yeah, not now.

That’s a solid offer for a Senior, but agree. It isn’t enough to make me move, unless I was unhappy with KPMG. I’d just tell them that, and see what happens. Perhaps you can maintain contact and apply after you make M for a double 20% raise

Hello all,
I have got an offer from Mastercard at 18.7 lpa as senior database engineer @ level 7.
Is this a fair ask for my position.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Hi

I resigned Epam Anywhere last week because I am on bench since 2.5 month , package in EPAM Anywhere was 32.40 lpa fixed .

Started looking outside and got opportunities.

Two offers:

Citi bank- 3277000 fixed

Mastercard- 308000(including 2.80lakhs variable)

I am really confused between these two companies, I heard WLB is very good in Mastercard, but again their salary difference is too much.

Kindly suggest its Urgent.

Just accepted an offer with a psych startup. Not exactly the offer I was hoping for as I’m taking a slight pay cut ($73/hr) and it’s a 1099 position. I keep getting stuck on the 1099 piece because I’ll be working 40 hrs/wk, but have been told I’m not eligible to be a W2 employee. Needless to say, no benefits whatsoever. They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?
