Yep sounds about right! You could probably nab 10k bonus though at least. D just gave out 35k retention bonuses to seniors last year

Actually, probably could get 105k base at least. I am an S2 with 3.5 yoe at 90k in dlas

Seems a little low to me. Could receive at least 100k

Are you joining as a Senior 2? If so, that sounds about right. Seniors 3 are currently at $115k.

Yes, I'm S2. Does that mean the increase from S1 to S2 or S2 to S3 is about 18%? That makes S1 around $82k? seems low in this market

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.
