I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

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!

I'm just not seeing the 30% increase in salary on job listings. Where are you finding these jobs? Any recommendations?
Agree, the most I’ve seen was 10-15% including annual bonus.
You just have to negotiate
I think recruiters get a flat fee for placing you and not necessarily a percentage of your salary. So they don’t really have any motivation to get you higher than 10-15%. I would just find something on your own
Non b4, I left as senior. My raise was 8%
I left as first year senior at a big 4. Got a 30% raise
I left before this current busy season. I waited until I got my promotion and bonus. I would definitely wait until you reach senior at least IMO. Especially after the raise because then the jump will be higher
I talked to one recruiter that mentioned he would be getting paid 25k for filling a role. In my mind that is basically added into your cost as a job candidate, only you don't get to keep any of it.
I also heard recruiters keep 20% of your first year salary.
If that’s true and it’s percentage based then I don’t know why they don’t negotiate for a higher salary on your behalf. The recruiters I had were more interested in just placing me somewhere than getting me the best salary that I could get.
Left as a first year senior, ~35%increase
