Hi fellow fishies!
Can someone please explain what is “SUPPLEMENTARY allowance” in my payslip??? It is the highest in my entire payslip, more than basic salary. Basic is lets say ₹7 lac annually and supplementary bonus is ₹7 lac 40 thousand.
Can someone please explain why this exists in my paylslip, is it good or bad from tax perspective and shall I ask my HR to decrease it???
Please help asap.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

3rd year. NYC Gov Law. $230k plus bonus (we’ll see if there are any this year 🙃)
I worked in city gov for almost a decade.
ADA: 55-65k (1-4yrs out of school)
Legislative body: 85k (5 years out of school, non attorney role)
Mayor’s office: 117k (6 yrs out of school, non attorney role)
Consider non attorney roles in government that still keep you in legal/Policy
This is great and interesting
5th year, remote in house counsel for software company, personally located in Denver area. 150k base + 15% annual bonus and significant equity. Super flexible hours (generally work from about 8:30 - 4 with freedom to go to appointments, etc during the day and “unlimited PTO) plus work from home makes it a pretty good gig.
Sign me up! Especially if you can take a Thursday off and avoid I-70 skiing on the weekend.

TA2, are you with one of the more prominent PI firms or a smaller shop? Spouse is also 8 yr PI and insurance bad faith in la currently stuck around 3-400k with referrals and is tempted to move or go on his own rather than renegotiate. Friends in the other shops aren’t transparent about comp so no idea how he stacks up. He’s also a trial guy and the right hand guy at the firm so pay doesn’t feel like it’s enough.
