Hi fellow fishies!
Can someone please explain what is “SUPPLEMENTARY allowance” in my payslip??? It is the highest in my entire payslip, more than basic salary. Basic is lets say ₹7 lac annually and supplementary bonus is ₹7 lac 40 thousand.
Can someone please explain why this exists in my paylslip, is it good or bad from tax perspective and shall I ask my HR to decrease it???
Please help asap.

MBB no brainer
Mbb and don’t even know why you asked, but if WLB is very important to you maybe b4.
Congrats in both cases!

MBB hands down! 5 years if you perform well will get you to PL/EM and then you can exit to a chill industry job with high pay
Pro
Do you really want to do ‘strategy’ kind of work ? Are you okay with sacrificing WLB for a few years? Figure that out and if yes,
1) find the relevant job/position get a referral
2) Redo CV to the ‘Consulting template’
3) Practise Interviews . High emphasis on case interviews. Rest CV/Cultural fit are easy
Or get an MBA from a top school and get hired as an experienced post MBA hire
Senior associate would get you to Manager/Project leader in about 3 years. So consider that when making the decision.

Do you mean at Big 4? 3 years would be a really slow pace at McK and I’m assuming BCG/Bain as well.
MBB - my dream! I wouldn’t go to a Big4 if they paid me

Well they will pay you. That’s the law
depends on the T2 you're coming from. if you're taking a pay cut might take a while to build that back, and if you like the work you're doing no point of destroying your network and starting over if you're planning on staying in consulting.
What is a junior manager at B4? I’m assuming you mean like an experienced senior associate/senior consultant. Go MBB mate, bigger boost to your resume plus you’ll make manager in 2-3 years.
