Hi All, I am about to have salary discussion for an opportunity with Credit Suisse. Can you please let me know what is the max salary that can be offered to 11 YOE Java developer joining in AVP position? Do they offer VP position to 11 YOE by any chance? Also how is the current situation within CS considering all the financial turmoil and layoff news? Will it be a wise decision to move to CS from Barclays at this point of time?

Your counselor should be able to talk you up to a 3 with good feedback, but a lot of times they don't fight for their people enough, the people consultant can reach out to your sm or partner to discuss and possibly avoid any pip
What is pip?
Those instances were one off and still made it into my formal reviews. Tips?
FWIW, counselor said that it's their understanding that this is to get my perspective on the documented reviews in the performance review portal.
EY seems to have a little more heart than PwC, D, or ACN so honestly, sounds like a possible PIP. But I don't think EY's the type of firm who would fire you without a PIP. Could be wrong though
PwC1, they've laid off people who weren't on PIPs. Friends said that to be laid off, HR needs to be present in person and can't do it over phone, so not sure whether to be hopeful and what to expect.
What group are you part of?
EY1, Risk
Any 2 puts you in pip, if we don't think a pip will work out for an employee, separation will be next step but the people consultant will do it in person
@EY3 is that a steadfast rule? Does a 2 automatically require a PIP?
Multiple reviews say that I exceeded expectations, does it still warrant a PIP? The timeline shows an upward curve with a slight dip towards the end (when they locked reviews and started round tables)
Thanks EY3, appreciate that input. Prepping now with points on how my performance curve has been growing upward this year.
Also, a pip is not the kiss of death at the staff/ low senior ranks, at the manager / sen mgr level you're done
I got laid off today and it happened over the phone. My RP scheduled a call for just the two of us, I dialed in and found out HR was also on the call. Def not done in person
Performance Improvement Plan
95%, received bravo award, OTJ coaching appreciation recognitions, volunteering outside the office with local organization and conducted a drive in the office as well. Performance on one project directly led to more work being sold.
Effective util - 101%
Not laid off or put on a PIP. They gave me a warning letter stating they need me immediately improve in areas like proactive communication regarding delays in deliverables and coming in before 8:30 AM every morning (In the last two months, I've been coming in between 9/9:30, but they want me to be online during regular working hours). The call was really stern. I owned up to the slip ups and tried to explain why those happened and brought up the great positives in my reviews, but HR wouldn't take any of that and focused only on the negative aspects. They're going to be watching me closely and any other slip up in the future, it's bye bye for me. I'm bummed that this may affect my promotion going into round tables in the next few weeks.
HR did say that they're not putting me on PIP because they don't have a problem with the quality of my work. It was acknowledged that if I focus, I can produce great work. Still trying to figure out how I ended up in this situation after killing myself all of last year. Some things make sense, some don't.
Glad to hear it's not a layoff. What practice are you in?
