Treat yourself to a nice meal OP! Also, remember that signing bonus of 10-15k you got when you started? That’s the biggest bonus you’re going to see in a very long time

K1, your first comment ties exactly into my point. To your second comment, I disagree wholeheartedly, and the best firms in Consulting operate under this core assumption (not us, sadly). Utilization should be a partner metric ONLY. If you’re junior staff, you’ve been drinking a little too much kool-aid. If you’re senior, you’re a part of the problem if you actually believe that.

At Deloitte, we don’t receive a bonus until the end of our first year as a consultant... so that would be three years of work in. Sounds to me like you are off to a great start.

OP, starting bonuses are based on your undergrad institution (target school or not), your major (to assess competitiveness in your respective industry), your GPA, and your interview skills

Also as an aside, what is with the OP putting a space before all the punctuation marks....?

A4 I wish I got that signing bonus . They screwed me over that too ! 😭

Bonuses should be based on performance, not chargeable time. It’s the partners’ job to keep you chargeable. That said, don’t worry OP. The game is rigged against you always, but particularly right at the start. Chin up and next year that number should at least have an extra zero on the tail end!

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
