Total comp should be over 200k. I am at 180K base, 25K bonus, 12K stock but I joined 2 years ago so incoming is probably higher. 401k is 50% up to 6% so 3%. PTO is 15 days. Other benefits are average.

Op - don't do that to your self unless you're absolutely desperate for job change and can't wait for better company..

I just left Cognizant. If you're only asking about comp, you're not asking the right questions. Comp is good, not great. Benefits are meh, not good. Organization and quality of colleagues (especially in consulting at that level) are outright bad.

It's not worst job you can have but it's not good.

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits. Director recently gave me add’l merit-based raise (after my annual raise, been here 14 months) & slight title change to Marketing Comm Specialist II. No plans to add a level 1 (would be lower) specialist but will add level 1 engagement specialist to team. Should I update resume/cards or is this confusing?

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
