Which one to choose between Optum and Tiger Analytics for Data Scientist position? Where can I expect better data science domain expertise (In my previous companies I found very less understanding of Data Science practices as team)? Heared good things about both of these. Also hearing Tiger is expanding rapidly and getting some crap projects as well in the name of data science. Could someone put light on these things?
YOE: 4.5 Years
Tiger: 18L Fixed + 1L JB
Optum: 21L Fixed + 1.5L JB

I have some doubt regarding pf contribution... Say for example.. 12% of my base salary is 600 which gets deducted from my salary.. on the flip side.. the company has to contribute 600 to my pf (which is actually deducted from my salary only like already part of CTC)?. So my question again is that.. the company contributes 600 as well? PwC

Ask him for half his annual salary in return
I like this answer: yes indeedy!
That's ridiculous. Think of it this way, if it damages or breaks the friendship, you filtered out a crappy friend and got paid for it. Win win.
When i get people jobs via recommendations, they give me gifts/ give me a treat me somehow, not all the way around.
That may be a sign that he is not going to be a good employee. I would not give him a dime. tell his wife to explain that you did them a huge favor.
Ask him if he understands performs do you get your money back! 😉
There are a lot of unanswered questions and this is a one-sided explanation. Was he a guarantee for the job prior to the referral? Did he know that you were referring him? Did he ask you to refer him? Basically what I am asking is did you just throw the referral out there because you knew he would get the job and you would get the referral payout or did the referral actually have an impact on him getting the job? I have kept the money when the referral was asked for and it supported the person's placement and I have shared the money when a friend was an excellent candidate and most likely would have gotten the job with or without my assistance. If you did it without him asking, share it. If he asked, it is yours.
You are putting your reputation on the line for your friend's husband by recommending him. You didn't have to do that. Who will look bad if he washes out? I think he should be grateful for the job referral. By your going out of your way you are giving him a means to support his family. Sorry but he got some balls to ask you for anything more. He should just say Thank you. No good deed goes unpunished.
You dont need a friend that would demand this of you.
You got a bonus, he got a job.
If he wants half the bonus, you should get half of his first months pay for helping him get the job.
Absolutely not. You enjoy the $2,000 bonus. You can give them a $100 gift card if you wanted to for a nice celebration dinner on landing the job. At the end of the day he wouldn't have known about the position without your referral so you don't owe anyone anything.
"But for" your efforts would he have been hired? Why would you refer such an *****?
he should be happy he got the job
No! Tell him when he does a good job then refers someone he can get his bonus. That's your bonus. That's why I don't tell people about money; salary, bonuses, raises, etc.
Why? Did he find the job himself? He should be thanking you with a gift.
You received $2,000, which is a nice number, but it is only $2, 000. Your friend’s husband is getting much more than that per year, so you should keep that money because you earned it. If he is hard up for money to pay bills, that is a case to consider, but you will need to decide that.
Thank them by by taking them out to a nice breakfast (no-booze) but WHEN you know you can go into it with solid mental armor firmly in place. Gives you & them a chance to the outrageous request off the floor, and if they walk on it & muddy the room - you've done the right thing and they're choosing PETTY over a FRIENDSHIP.
I've done this with others in the past, but it was agreed upon prior. However, the bonus is all yours. It's your benefit for putting your name on the line for them and giving them a shoe into the company which they wouldn't have without you. That is their benefit. Outside of that, let them pound sand, because if it's going to break the relationship. You don't want it anyways.
Oh dear. That is so tacky to ask you for that. I'm sorry you are in this predicament.
Nope. You did exactly what was required to get the bonus. You could have referred someone else. And he could probably have gotten the job if he applied without your referral. It's yours for the job you did.
OHOH... you've referred a ticking time-bomb assuming this isn't rage bait.
No you should let your friend know what character of person she's married to.
You don't detail who "he" is. Is "he" the husband of your friend who got the job? Is "he" the friend, and thus presumably a man married to another man? When there are multiple people in a sentence, a following sentence cannot use a pronoun to refer to one of them, since isn't clear which person or object you refer to. At least AI has the logic to not make that mistake.
Go ask HR what you should do. That way they know what kind of jerk they hired.
if it hurts the relationship/friendship he's not a friend. You just got him a job in tough market, you could get him a nice bottle of wine as a kick back but honestly he should be doing that for you not the other way around. Sad to say he sounds like a little bit of douche hahah
what! but he likely wouldn’t have gotten the job without you!
