Question for the consultants- I’m dating a guy who has the title of associate partner at Bain but he states he has the job of a senior manager. Can someone explain Bain’s promotion situation and how this makes sense?

Any Bridge Engineers/Structural Engineers in here? I got my PE this year and have 5 YOE in TX + an MS. What sort of raise would you expect for receiving your PE working in a consulting firm? I am EOR on a number of structures in development, I manage EITs and Drafters (within projects; I'm not a supervisor), and am doing a lot in general. I'm at 78k currently, which is apparently still in the upper range of EIT salaries per a job posting in CO. I'm thinking of 15% (5% merit, 10% PE). Any ideas?

Hey all! Has anyone ever heard of people using an offer from another firm to get a promotion or progression and 30-40% raise at EY? Pros/cons?

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

@Assurance - Promotion letters started rolling out already?!

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

What was the hike % last year for a Senior 1 with 2nd rating who didn't get any promotion/progression?

I got
Business results - S
Client/Customer/Stakeholder - S
Teamwork and Leadership- O


Is this a good rating?. My manager said they won't give SSS to anyone unless they are a promotion candidate. Why do they have to reduce the rating just because of that?

Is this going to affect my hike, bonus?. This is my first review at the firm. Please help.

Hi Everyone,

I recently got offer from PayPal.
The total CTC is
Fixed 29lpa
Variable 2.9lpa
Stocks $24k vested over 3yr
Overall yearly is coming around 38LPA

In GS my current fixed is only 13LPA but got bonus of 3lk last yr on a prorated basis as i joined only last yr may.

Not sure if i can ask GS to match my offer from PayPal and im hesitant to switch. ( Note as per my recent conversations with my managers I'm up for promotion in dec)
Not sure to switch
Please advise on the same

YOE: 5.5yr

Received an offer for an internal promotion and the verbal offer differed from the written offer. Specifically, the bonus verbalized was 2% higher than the offer letter. HR basically just said ‘sorry, our mistake the letter is right’. What would you do?

Hi all, negotiating with HR on salary for a new AS position and want to know what’s fair. I was an AE for two years, took a promotion at another agency for SAE for only 8 months and am now being recruited for AS at 80k. All of my agencies have been large, I’ve worked on pharma and a large global account, I also started “managing” at the AE level due to my team’s structure. Is $80k fair? Thanks!

Hi folks,

I resigned from Cognizant recently and now the manager is saying they will raise a request for Canada work permit for me.

My question is how genuine can that promise be ? Anyone faced similar situation before ? How Canada work permits generally happen here in CTS and how many months it can take ?

Friends - comp talk thread. Level, base increase %, promotion % (if applicable), bonus %, go!

Hi everyone, I joined a start up where I joined as an intern and moved on to be a Business Analyst. I've worked with marketing and HR, but as it is a tech firm I haven't really interacted with the really technical aspect of it. My educational background isn't based in this aspect of work and would like to contribute more to the company, any suggestions for any training I can do or any tips for how to improve my work quality? I'm currently involved with improving the Indian branch of the company

Anyone still in this bowl? Been 9 months since the last post! I’ll start- how are your firms’ O&G practices performing? Big 4 here... we have a pretty heavy bench.

Hello Fishes, is it good to get permanent WFH from Infosys? and is Infosys started firing their employees who are on bench?

Please help me to get out of it.

Thanks in advance :)

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Senior Manager is definitively the worst job at the firm. Not all the time, but most of the time. (And yes, I "speak up for my needs". Response is "cry me a river don't care") Do other SMs feel this?

Does anyone have any book recommendations that have helped them become a better consultant ?

Starting to get more involved in the project sales process - any recommendations for books or resources to develop skills in this area?

What are some of the best books you’ve read about people and investing? Such as dealing with people (business psychology almost) and then investing (real estate more specifically)!

I am looking for books that give practical advice, not just big picture theory and motivation.

Do other consulting firms require everyone to have firm initiatives (e.g. recruiting or white papers)? These initiatives are such a time suck and distract from client work.

Opinions, please. Best among the B4 + ACN in Cybersecurity? Both by reputation/competence and with pay. Thanks!
