I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.
In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.
I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.
Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?
Hi,. 24F YOE = 2years10months Work = DevOps and cloud (AWS) . I have two offers, both from same work. SAP Sal 11.7 fixed + 1.3 Vpay = 13LPA Airbus Sal 14.3 fixed + 2.7Vpay = 17.5 LPA and 5L joining (should be given back if early exit in 3years) Both companies have other benefits apart from CTC. Can anyone suggest which one to decide? I have some idea on SAP labs but not sure about airbus when it comes to work life balance, career growth, team. thank you and much appreciated

Hello everyone! I recently pivoted from working in advertising to working at an early-stage fintech startup. I'm looking to speak with business finance leaders who manage corporate cash and credit lines for their companies to learn more about your tools and your approach to cash management. I'll buy you lunch/coffee for your time.
If interested shoot me an email me at kathryn@crescent.app! And thank you!!
Anyone here works in Dunnhumby or Gartner?

I don’t think MBA’s are needed to make 150k any more
I wonder if getting certifications would be valuable. I know Columbia has a leadership class

Don’t waste time on the MBA, and don’t apply to MBB.
Network to get a job with FAANG directly. Tons of people at MBB are salivating at the opportunity to join tech, so it doesn’t make sense to do a roundabout detour. Plus, as an consultant, you’d be making $15k more in base salary for far worse hours at MBB.
Also, I don’t know about McKinsey and Bain, but FAANG have internal consulting teams, so they don’t hire us for that.

You make 150k base with under 5 YOE? Where is this ? What have I been doing over the last 10 years of my career I wonder 🤣
Sorry C1, that wasn’t my intent in posting my salary. Just trying to gage ROI (if I even get into a T7 school) and if I switch industries.
When I was deciding on whether to go or not, I did research on how long it would take me to get to $200K TC, $250K TC, $300K TC, $500K TC and compared it to how long it would take if I got my MBA.
I decided it wasn’t worth it since I actually had an accelerated path not going to MBA rather than going.
In general, I’ve noticed that many of my friends who are top performers have decided not to go. The ones who are top performers and choose to go use it as a reset switch to change industries or as a 2 year vacation (though expensive).
Many firms are making it easier to say no. E.g.
McKinsey direct to EM, Direct promote to post MBA at same comp, waiving of MBA requirement (e.g. Banking Analyst to Associate promo).
Thanks L1!! Appreciate everyone’s insights here.
I'd look at people's LinkedIn profiles who work in that role and see if they have MBA's
