At my company - Sales producer for work/life balance - and compensation if you’re good at it :). Sales is more likely to offer a variety of schedules to suit your needs. Base pay is decent - but I frequently made 2-3 times my base pay in commission (and I was never a top seller).

Adjuster work/life balance depends on your area - field/cat claims has less balance (at the mercy of the weather) but better compensation plus per diems when deployed. In-office claims can have rigid schedules depending on claim volume - which has been in the higher end for the last couple of years due to strong growth numbers. The base pay is better than sales, but I consistently made more in sales working fewer hours because of commission. It can be hard to get time off in this department in my experience.

I would also add that you can decide w sales what your work life balance is, as you can choose to grind longer for bigger commissions. But how much more are adjusters making? I’m on pace for 90-110 as an agent team member, 40-45 hrs sales. Are adjusters above that?

Hey mate,

What would be the ideal CTC for 1+ year experience as Oracle Financial functional consultant?

Thanks in advance

I got selected in LTI, the offered CTC is less than my current CTC, HR says they have budget constraints.

They were aware about my current CTC right from the first call.

I also shared the counter offer that I'm holding. (Offered CTC > Current CTC)
Switch won't make sense if I don't get the basic hike.

How can I convince them to revise my offer? YOE -3.2 yrs
