Is $35k raise and a promo to CD enough to take a hybrid job (3 days in the office) instead of my remote job?🤔🤔🤔🤔

Hey Fishes,

I have been selected as Associate 2 for Management consulting DDV team at PwC AC bangalore office. They are currently offering 14LPA fixed with 12.5% variable.

They have asked me to submit my documents and then they will start the negotiations. Can anyone let me know if this CTC is okay? I feel it is low as per the Management Consulting team. Please advice

YOE 1.1
Currently CTC 6.78

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?

Hello Folks,

I am looking for my first switch

YOE- 2.6
TECH- ServiceNow developer
Current CTC- 6.6 lpa

I have one offer of 11 lpa.
Could you please help me how much I can more expect?

TIA

Any struggling paralegals here? Do you feel like your financial situation is affecting your productivity at work? I like the work I do but the pay really sucks. I feel like the fear of not being able to pay some bills on time is affecting my productivity. I’ve asked for a raise but that may not still cut it, and idk if that will go through or not.

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

I want to study and prepare as much as I can before it starts, and influence myself as much stuff as possible... Both from advertising and outside of it.

Random Q unrelated to advertising but is anyone investing through Fidelity? And what mutual funds/stocks are you investing in that show potential?

I’ve always been comfortable concepting and writing. But when it comes to nitty gritty logistical stuff, I struggle. Like the discussions about aspect ratios, social post timelines, and the nuances of Facebook collection ads.

Can any other writers relate?

The agency is doing the background and reference check after I signed the offer letter. When should I give my 2 weeks to my current place? I should wait till the background and reference checks are cleared right? Feel like the process is kinda backward.

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo? For context, this writer I work with conceptualizes by himself, emails the Account team, gives deep input, and makes decisions for us without consulting with me (his “partner”) most of the time. While I appreciate his proactiveness, I feel excluded, limited, and without much room to co-lead the work with him. I don’t know how to bring this up without sounding like I’m b*tching about it.
