First name. Always

Problem is in the email I was given his (nick name).(last name). And his linked in profile is first name (nick name) last name. Not sure if I should address him by first name or nick. Suggestions?

Who the fuck says Mr anymore? Is this the 50s?

You're not in school. First name always. Even Goldman Sachs doesn't use Mr.

If you want to impress, you should always say mr or ms unless they tell you it is Ok to call them by their first name - this is basic Etiquette - increasingly a lost art

@D1 - wrong - don't assume first name for women

It is basic etiquette- if you are a child meeting an adult.

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company.

A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits

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

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

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
