By brand new I’m assuming you mean zero experience. If true and in a coastal metro, I’d pay $60-70k.

Of course, commensurate with background, pedigree, initial impression of EQ, and network. If a true 5 star recruit with zero experience $70-80k.

Way too high... give him a salary to pay the bills ($35k - $50k) and incentive comp based on performance. If he helps you grow your practice by 100k/yr, pay him 25%-50% of that and you’ll have a great partnership.

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?

It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
