Need suggestions,
At 2 yoe, current company raised ctc from 4.5lpa to 7.5lpa (fixed) in appraisal.
They are giving 1.5lakhs extra bonus (retention), to be paid after 6 months in two installments (within next one year),
If I accept this bonus, I can't leave and I can't be on notice period.
Yoe 2yrs 3 months, manual/automation QA engineer.
Should I accept bonus and stay here for another year? Work is good enough and wfh is here.
Also, not in Deloitte, left there after 1 yoe.

At 9L (including retention) excluding variable sounds like a good deal for 2yoe testing skillset in the current market.

What you didnt tell is the retention period..for how long can you not resign?

Just so you know, even if you resign, you just need to return that 1.5L (assuming there are no other T&C)..so if a decent opportunity does come up, you still have your freeeom IMO

Retention period will be 14 months from now, by that time I'd have received full amount.
And I'll confirm this if I'd just have to return retention bonus in case I leave in between, thanks a lot for the answer!

But do remember - the attitude of your manager/senior can change quicky once they retain you. You may or may not be treated well.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
