What's the average SM salary?
Hi Folks,
Good Evening
Hope you all are doing well.
I am just done with the HR and Salary discussion for the Data Engineering role with Telstra .
Which location is good to join Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Pune when it comes to Data Engineering roles and opportunities in Telstra ?
Any one currently working or worked in Telstra looking forward to your valuable inputs and suggestions.
After Appraisal, company haven't shared updated offer letter (with new salary), it's been 2+ months now.
If I start searching for new job, will that HR ask about recent offer letter? Or only salary slips are enough?
P. S. Current company didn't share updated offer letter to any employee (in fear that employees will switch 😅) Accenture Tata Consultancy Capgemini Deloitte ZS Associates Fractal Tiger Analytics Deloitte USI

Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!

You are not wrong, the % definitely does start going down. I would say I probably averaged around 5-6% per year with some good years at 10-12%.
Very specialty group with advanced degrees, I started at 212 as a SM1, and we have some SMs that have been that for a while pushing 290. But not accountants.
215k with bonus LCOL. 11 yoe
$142K base and 12-13% bonus, LCOL, PM, 7.5 YOE
185k HCOL & 11 YOE (3 at SM). Not all years have been in the practice I’m in now. This thread confirms my suspicions about how much more $ I should be making
Would it be possible to transition from General Accounting to Tax manager fairly easily 23 years experience in Accounting?
Are y’all based on nyc or what
MCOL/HCOL stuff pretty unhelpful ever since inflation. VHCOL is still obvious (NYC, SF, etc) but HCOL specifically is ambiguous. Like Houston is now in HCOL bucket at EY but no one would think Houston when they see HCOL
