Hi folks, need advice. I was laid off (LWD 31 Aug). Got an offer from Publicis Sapient: 16.5 fixed, joining 16 Sept. But I’m also in final rounds with other firms aiming 20+. Asked HR for 1–2 weeks but they’re reluctant. Torn between joining safe vs waiting for better. Worried about gap if i didn't get some offer on time or relocation if offers come late and have to relocate.. Background: Data Engineer, 4.1 YOE, last fixed 11 + 5.5 var/bonus/esop.. some lst rounds are scheduled next weeks..

Your options are limited to the companies that you have offer letters from. declining a confirmed offer basis anticipated one may not be a good idea

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?
