I’ve been offered an industry job that is roughly 2.8 time my current total comp. I’m taking it but I’m scared... I’ve never been a non consultant.........

Industry is not that different but you have to live with your ideas, execute your plans, manage up and down the chain, respect the culture and recognize the hours aren’t shorter, just different. Spent 10 years in industry. Last rec is get equity, that’s how you build wealth faster in industry.

I don't know how you could be scared of those numbers. Worst case scenario you flame out after a year of earning 3x current salary and go on vacay. The real question is what % is bonus vs base? Bonus isn't guaranteed obviously.

@d4 that sounds exactly like consulting...?

Yeah i dunno D4 that depends on the industry. Most people i know work 9-5 90% of the time ... as did i back when i was ind

Agree with D1. I worked at least as much or sometimes even more in Industry. The whole 9 to 5 thing is a myth, except maybe in some very rare circumstances I've seen in my 25 years of experience - usually just frontline hourly employees.

Which industry? I dont disagree but type if industry depends. My friend went from SC to investment director at PE firm and works same consulting hours....other friend went to hr/training as M and works maybe 5-6 hours a day max

D5, that's nuts! I came from HR and training and worked 60 to 90 hours a week in industry. I want to know where they work!

Congratulations

It’s the bonus that makes the overall comp seem crazy... based on base salary alone... it’s only 1.5X what I make now... but they also offer a much better benefits package + pension match compared to my current firm

I buy it

These people that work 90 hours a week in industry and never my clients. That door starts turning at 4pm on the dot.

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?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
