Variable Pay is part of CTC mentioned in offer letter and bonus is over and above CTC.Generally companies pay bonus as retention bonus.This is my understanding.

If you are in Infosys, both are same for you. Its anyway part of your CTC. Usually product based companies pay yearly bonus which is over and above your CTC.

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
