What is fixed they are offering for Manager 3

60

Designation provided to you at EY is atleast 1 level less. Even though it's mentioned as 15% variable pay, you will always get more. Since you are joining as Manager level, you have to declare all your investment to EY, stocks, loans etc. If you fail to do that, your promotion will be stopped, rating will set one level down, variable pay will be stopped and you have to pay fine. Also, you have to do certifications, white paper and accelerators to get good rating. So decide yourself

Which service line?
Bro, you ideally should be sm2 or atlest sm1.
Salary is fine (still little low for a data scientist) but still its fine.
Dont settle for less than sm1..as getting promoted is really very difficult unless you manage the people egos and please them.

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.
