Those of you that work at Strategy&, which firm name do you use when telling non-consultants where you work? I would imagine people stay waiting for you to finish if you say "strategy and..." vs. pwc

Lol. 0 recognition for Strategy& so I usually say Booz, then they ask Booz Allen Hamilton? Which I then correct and end up explaining the whole history of the firm and brand. No easy way out. However occasionally you get the smart alec who loves to correct you on your own firm name whichever one you go with.

Hi People,
Please give me a rough estimate on how much hike we can expect in my annual salary revision. I expected 8LPA when I joined. They gave me 5LPA with a promise of revision in 3months after joining. They inc it to 7.75LPA after 4m and during appraisal cycle gave 25k 11months to make it to 8LPA. In Oct my hike is due, so I would to like negotiate my hike. Please let me know how much I can ask for.

I have observed that people on testing domain or frontend are getting better pay than other new tech domains like blockchain, cyber security, data sci etc(4-11yr exp) .
For less than 4 years experience new tech job gettig good pay but others getting very less.

In dev job Java, spring r etc getting better pay. Also some SAP consultant are also get paid high.
Is exp people in testing/frontend dev are less due to which they getting better pay than others with experience.
Based on fish posts*
