Recently, Zoom reduced paid parental leave, and Deloitte is considering cuts to PTO, pensions, and IVF benefits. With fewer workers changing jobs, reducing benefits might be the new “shiny object”.

I agree this could be seen as a cut in compensation, which can impact morale and productivity. Companies taking this approach may find it harder to attract and retain top talent. Do you see moves like this as the start of a broader trend or isolated actions?

Hello Fishes,

I recently had a interview call with TCS technical team and the interview went well. HR asked to upload my documents in ibegin portal. But they are yet to contact me for my salary negotiation it's been three weeks since, can i know how much can I expect as compensation?

YoE :8.5 years
Current CTC: 14 LPA
Skills : information security
New salary ask :30 LPA
No other offer in hand

Assuming that I'm okay with a salary of 70K and more, and that I really don't want to work at a law firm. Is it going to be difficult for me to return to law with two years of experience and one year working in a legal adjacent role.

What's your thoughts on getting a PMP certification? Is it worth it to boost salary?

What is the fixed-variable split in TCS for a Consultant role? Is 35L a good enough salary for that role?

How do u research what a good sign on bonus is? Director in non consulting, health care insurance company ?

General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry? Or, are there any law firms purely focused on entertainment that have a comp/employment/benefits group? I’m at a large firm with a lot of high profile artists, but I’d like to narrow my practice down to entertainment.

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

Has anyone come across any resources I can use for a investment idea pitch during an interview? Examples of investment theses for previous PE acquisitions etc.? Interested in healthcare and FS specifically. Thanks!

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity. I’ve asked for a sign on bonus as I’m not eligible for annual next year and will be missing my current jobs bonus. I should hear tomorrow (asking for 28k). Thoughts about the offer? Should I ask for more equity or is that standard? They’re public (currently ~$20)should I get the hybrid option in writing?

Anyone else get frustrated when the partner brags about their billable hour amount for the month? Like congrats, you get to bill .2 for each piece of mail. You also get .2 for every letter your secretary types up as a "form letter" you never even look at. As an Associate, I don't get those easy/automatic hours.
