Post MBA? Absolutely.

Pre MBA? Even with equity, it’ll be really tough to find opps that will pay you that much. If you’re looking for 200k cash, no one will pay someone with 2YOE that much unless in PE.

Yep, this matches my experience.

2 years? Probably not. I’d say $150k is your better shot unless you are going to PE or big tech

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Hi fishes,

The rumors about PwC KSDC changing the bonus/hike payout cycle from July to an earlier month between March and June are picking pace. If there is any senior staff, or member with credible information on this, please share your 2 cents. The suspense is killing me, and I am sure many of you echo my sentiments here.

So far, I have heard:
- March
- May
- June
- July but with salary effective from April (paid as arrears in July). Something similar for June as well.
