I have. Salary was slightly less than I earned in consulting but that really depends on where you land. You no long have to accept low salary to get a foothold in start-ups. There is plenty of VC money floating around to find proper salaries.

The first start-up I worked at was growing fast by accident rather than design. The leadership was unfortunately abysmal because it was run by a bunch of people who hadn’t worked anywhere else so don’t understand how to set-up and run an organisation c.f. Revolut. This is fairly common so be aware that working conditions might be difficult because you’ll essentially be working for someone who has emotional maturity of a gnat.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Friends..
I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
