Hi folks,
I am going through interview process in Nielseniq currently for Big data engineer role.
Total Yoe - 3.3 years
Current salary - 15 + 1 Lpa approx.
Joined Sapient only six months back.
Can someone provide your reviews so far about the company, mainly looking for learning, wlb can be compromised a bit.
Also, what should be the general expected salary for the role and tech in NielsenIQ ?
I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.
In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.
I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.
Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?

For marketing purposes during sell side M&A processes to highlight how much the company could grow, from what I understand. It’s not a pure science
It’s not pure BS it values things pretty accurately imo just as long as projections are realistic and you use a conservative discount rate.
LMM/MM is where you see that often… at least with the deals I’ve been on and the deals my PE friends seen
Model should work. Assumptions are what drive the results. Your ability to use the right assumptions is what determines who makes money and who takes a bath
IMO it’s an art not a science. The more you know about a company/industry the better and more realistic the result. So there are use cases in deals. But let’s be real, there are too many factors (constantly changing) for the DCF output to always be reality outside of providing a useful range/sensitivity.
But let’s say you’re a trader/investor, the smartest person in the market, and create a perfect DCF? Well guess what, because you’re too smart how could the rest of the market realize that value i.e. move the price up or down in short - medium term? And in the long term, assumptions don’t = reality… that’s why there will always be gap between “intrinsic” value and market value. So for sake of trading I think there’s no practicality. For value investing maybe, but your “value” is entirely based on assumptions coming true
It’s an estimate based on certain assumptions- and we all know what assumptions do!
It’s accurate if the inputs are accurate. Use sensible projections and an honest discount rate and you’ll get a reasonable value estimate. The issue is if you’re pitching a company, a reasonable value estimate probably won’t win you the mandate
