I was laid off the week before Christmas at my last role. I hate companies that do layoffs around the holidays. It does make the envirvonment very stressful.

I was just laid off last week. I'll never understand why but I'm thankful for the extra time with my family right now.

Glad you can see some silver lining to it all

I was laid off right around Christmas years ago, and I’m still not over it. I get a bit of dread every year. It is definitely something that sticks with you.

It stays with you

Totally understand. More than likely it has to do with the new fiscal year budget. All of the changes have to be made before the current year closes out.

Hi fishes. I am a fresher and have been recruited as an associate consultant into tech consulting via campus interview. I join in a few months and my package is 7lpa fixed plus 80k variable. I plan to stick with EY for at least 2-3 years barring exceptional circumstances. How can I expect my salary to progress over this duration? Thanks!

Is it a sales oriented role, is P & L an integral part of being an Engagement Manager with AWS?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
