Today I just signed an offer with a pay increase of 84%. It came after 4 months of job hunt, getting offers and being rescinded, and even 3 companies that rescinded after I signed. Anxiety hit, i cried, lost sleep, dealt with internal struggles, inferiority complexes when I saw peers moving to their second jobs after a mbb consulting / banking role, but ultimately I am so glad that I did not give up on myself. I still have to worry about the visa part, but for now lm gonna relax for the weekend

Not to be a downer, but you said you’ve signed for this job… have you started? Reading that you had offers rescinded after signing seems interesting you’re celebrating now…

likesmartfunny

Signed for a new job doesnt mean I’m starting immediately… and getting offers rescinded was a while ago when I committed to other companies. When that happened I obviously continued looking, and eventually getting this job which I’m happy with. Otherwise I would have finished the process 2 months ago.

Are you supposed to receive a signing bonus for an entry level job at MBB?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
