Has a trial week ever actually turned into a real, stable job for anyone here? A company offered me a paid trial week but the pay was half my hourly rate and they wanted me to sign over all IP immediately. It’s like they just didn't want to hire a full-time employee or pay a real contractor. I’m not a try-before-you-buy sample at Costco.

Trial week sounds like a terminal case of cranial-rectal inversion somewhere on the hiring team.

which country?

Trial week?! I’ve never heard of that. I wouldn’t do it for less than a normal rate.

How can anyone understand anything valuable in just a week? Trial for what?

So, I have made it to the offer stage of Accenture Strategy CN. Can someone help me with the approx salary band for this role: (CN-Strategy-MC-Business strategy - 07)

I am a VP with compensation of ₹48Lpa in India. Have an offer of €65K in Germany. The German offer is at a lower position and lower compensation as I do not know German (as yet) and senior roles would require client interaction (German clients).

I see it as an opportunity to get my foot into Germany on a EU Blue Card and then look for something better once there.

I am in a non-IT role.

Any thoughts?
