I’m curious how long everyone worked as a senior creative before getting their first ACD role. I imagine there is quite a range, but want to find the ballpark. Bonus points for sharing your starting ACD salary if it’s recent enough to still mean anything.

Hi All,

YOE : 6
Tech stack : Java,Springboot,microservices

I am holding 3 offers-
Accenture - 13 Fixed + 3.5 var(3.9 joining bonus)
Infy - 15.7 Fixed + 2.8 var(1.25 joining bonus)
CTS - 20 Fixed + 0.7 var(1 joining bonus)

I am happy to join CTS but very much worried about the attrition rate of cognizant recently.

Note - The first offer in the process was from Accenture and they are ready to offer 18 LPA Fixed + 3.5 Var after Revision

Please help me to choose between Accenture and cognizant

Hi All, what is the package one can expect for a senior business analyst (senior consultant) role in TW. YOE -12 (relevant YOE 9)

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
