Is it SAFE joining Wipro as technical lead (B3) with 37LPA? Knowing that package is pretty high as compared to collogues in same band. HR is not ready to give project manager(C1) position.
Appreciate your suggestions/input.
Would there be any scope of increment going forward?

Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

Does 401k count as savings?
Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Focus on the type of work you want to do, and the money will come. Ive seen so many people leave and end up hating their jobs because they chased money.
If you like the job and the money is more, great - go for it!
Not always M1. Idk about you but a 30% raise to do the same consulting gig really isn’t that big of a deal. If anything, you build an even bigger network
Chief
I’ve been doing this for a long time and my #1 piece of advice i give people is that - the only person who genuinely cares about your career is you. And if you have a spouse/partner, that makes 2. Everyone else isn’t trying to understand how your departure will impact their career.
Run like the wind. Especially if you are actually at EY.
This.
Just leave. Follow the money
If the other role is a good fit then take the money. You can always use those connections to boomerang back.
Also remember that firms don’t care so much about you when it’s convenient for them to cut costs and lay people off. Imagine yourself trying to give that same explanation to a partner for why they shouldn’t lay you off.
You are your own CEO. Thinking this way, would you sell your product to your current company or to the new company and why? Is it for money, for connections to other buyers (partners), other?
BS, take the money and run
If there is something I’ve learned it is never to trust PPMDs with regards to things like this. Their agenda is to keep you at the lowest possible salary. This talk about network and all stuff is important but don’t underestimate yourself as you’ve done it once already and succeeded by the sound of it. Take the new job, get higher pay and don’t look back.
35% base raise, you’ll still have your network as an EY alum, potential to boomerang back, assuming firm or job you are looking at is something you want to be doing, you have already demonstrated you can deliver, and EY not countering now.
...if these points are all correct tough not to jump.
Growth doesn’t pay the light bill
While I do value you and the rest of my network I still have to make the best decision for my family where we are today. I’m humbly asking for a 20% increase on my current salary to bring me to 150k or please help me understand my trajectory over the next off cycle promotion period. You know what, nah...if you guys rock with me then accept me as a boomerang 2-3 yrs when I’m on my way back smarter and more experienced and more financially stable! 👋🏾
If they aren’t saying we value you but can’t meet you at 170, but damn the best we can do is X! If that’s not the conversation, humbly say thanks and keep it moving...not burning bridges! But if said partner is salty from that, he was never really on your side 100%
Is this an industry offer? Trying to think which firm is doing so well in times like these to offer +45k raise
Which company is hiring right now ?
Did someone at EY say that or was that someone from the company you got an offer for?
You can make connections man, money can not be the only reason to resign. Comp is a hygiene factor and not motivation factor! Treat it like a business, take into account about the opportunity cost.
Apples and oranges. Pick which one means more to you and don’t look back.
BS. Partner is trying to get you to stay without paying a dime more for it. 45k/year raise is a lot. You should have handed in your notice today. Btw who's paying 170k for a senior? I used to make slightly less than that as a first year manager in a big 4
While I agree to take the money, just take a moment to assess if the new role is something you will love.
If you don’t like the role, would you be able to boomerang to your current employer?
Dont leave the money. Also if you get title bump, better
+- 10-15% depending on the respective point in your career may not be worth jumping.
Network really starts to matter more at the level where you are selling and delivering work. At PPED it is imperative.
At your level, take the money
I took the money for a smaller firm and it was a terrible mistake because it was hard to claw my way from a company nobody had heard of to a big name again. Just FYI there’s a lot of cowboys and girls out there...
Time to leave... an increase of 45K is salary is an offer you should not refuse.
Take the offer and run.
