How do I convince GS to give me a signing bonus?? I’d be taking a base salary pay cut to join but that doesn’t seem good enough. Total comp is the same

Why would you take a pay cut? Are you just hoping they actually pay you on time?

funny

Or was that PWC and EY was the cheating scandal? I get so confused

The real question stands though, why take a pay cut?

Don’t take that offer!

Variable pay is well variable. You are looking to take a cut in your fixed pay to work for Goldman Sachs ? If you still want to proceed, one way to request for sign on is by talking about the bonus u are going to loose this year by coming to GD and asking GS to make you whole on that.

I’m currently working in Citi as an AVP in Mumbai for the past 9 months.. due to personal reasons I wanted to move back to Pune (I have worked in Pune for last 8 years before coming to Citi) so I landed up with an offer from HSBC into Wholesale IT (GCB5).

My current Fixed CTC in Citi is 26.5 excluding PF and Retrials and HSBC IT has offered me 30.5 for the same and said they cannot increase further as am moving jobs in after 9 months which is too early..

Questions -
Have I been low balled?

I recently lateraled into Big Law. Most of my colleagues are homegrown. My shift did involve a big change in practice area, and there's work that I haven't done before that I now have to do.

But, sometimes I feel stupid here, even for work which I have done previously. It's like I'm unable to understand instructions the first time around. And I have seen my colleagues getting annoyed by that. It's like I've become dumb. In my defence, I could say they're giving half assed instructions.
