Revenue is taken =total contract value / number of days in subscription

Expenses related to events are taken at the time of the event, but if the benefit of the item you bought will be used over time you can spread the total cost over the time you are using it. Also if you pay for a subscription it can be expensed over the license period.

That’s FP&A

I’d focus on building a knowledge of what you want to get across and why you’re interested. Interviewers like passion/excitement.
Ie. I want to pay my bills is less impressive than I have a desire to do FPA here to understand (insert industry) business and as I grow my knowledge grow with the company and become a greater asset to the company. Also make sure you get across you have a growth mindset. You should not be expected to know much but you will be more desired if you have a I’m excited to learn glint in your eye.

Expect questions on your analytical and problem-solving skills. There's a possibility that technical questions will be asked. But I don't think they will be complicated/complex.

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
