Hello 🐟🎏

When will be the retention bonus will be paid if a candidate joined TCS in the middle of the financial year. I.e September'22... Will that be paid on next year's September'23 Month only after completing an year in TCS?

And will the Retention bonus will also be considered as taxable income of the the current year taxes(2022-23)?

Looking for valuable suggestions!!!

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Just received a verbal offer from Deloitte Healthcare Ops and Transformation. The salary would be a big bump, technically taking a demotion from SC -> C

I know they laid off people a while back and are now hiring again. Should I be worried about job security at all?

I don't understand how come QAs with 6-8 YOE are getting 40+ package. Are those fishbowl discussions real?

By meeting expectations in 2 pay cycles, the base bumps up to $175K + bonus.
