I was promised a market-leading bonus in my offer letter, but my first year-end review just resulted in a literal slap in the face. After grinding 80-hour weeks to fix their messy reporting, my director told me the pool was shallow this year and handed me a 2% kicker. It’s insulting because I know for a fact the MDs just took a celebratory trip to Aspen on the department's dime. Is it a bad move to just quit without something lined up?

Market-leading bonus isn’t much of an outline for what you’ll get. Start searching and see what’s open in your area before quitting. You should know that a lot of people aren’t very happy with their bonuses right now.

I recommend 2 weeks notice just to keep things amicable, but if you can financially afford it, I don’t see why not. My dad always told me keep a few months expenses saved so I can always get away from a bad job. At the same time, if it’s just a bad raise, maybe take a week or so to decide.

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
