Hi Fishes,

One more scenario when dealing with counter offer with holding offer for X.

Two company A&B gave more or less package X+3 Lakh.

Is this recommended approach?
Or
how do tackle this situation?

Pour in your ideas which will help all.

Thanks,

Is it good to join TCS or should I wait for couple of more years, cause of there re-hire policy.
I have 4.4yrs of experience and in TCS my technical rounds are clear but i am still waiting for HR round which is taking lot of time to schedule.
If i should join TCS then what package should i negotiate?
I am holding an offer of 15.2LPA from OPTUM

I have interviewed for Decisioning scientist role at NatWest. It has been 2 weeks but I have not heard anything from them, HR said that she has not received feedback yet. How long does the process generally takes. Also how much I should expect, I am currently earning 22 LPA fixed

Partners: How often are you paid? Do you receive regular paychecks/distributions in equal amounts? Does the firm ever withhold a check during a cash crunch?

Got an offer of 8LPA from JPMC for the role of Test Analyst. YOE - 1.4 years, Location - Malad, Mumbai.
I would like to know how much I can negotiate with the HR on this offer.
I don't have any other offer in hand.

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone help me from Barclays, what will be Variable component % which is not part of CTC offered.
HR told me Variable component will be over and above CTC offered.

I am at salary negotiation phase with accenture hiring team. Somebody give me pro tips to fetch more CTC.

Will UST provide 100% of variable pay or what is the percentage they give us and when will they provide like end of the year

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Did anyone see their salary or bonus increase due to COVID? If so, how? Did you change jobs?

What's the range for L10 Tech/London. Pretty disappointed with the perf discussion result and being told that I am already at the higher side of range☹️.

Can TCS give 14 LPA to a Software Developer having 2.10 years of experience?

Absolutely love my direct supervising partner, hate the firm management, pay is mediocre and I could get a 5 digit bump elsewhere, what do I do? (Mid-size insurance defense firm in southeast region)

Going solo to Denver next weekend for a couple of days. Planning to stay downtown, any hotel recommendations? Also any suggestions for things to do?

I stay at Amanora, Pune and go for a walk every evening. Let me know if anyone (women) can join me

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Curious to hear from the bowl.

Getting ready to do an audit of the latest and greatest in end-to-end influencer platforms. We currently use IZEA. It’s OK and gets the job done, but like any platform has pros and cons. What platforms are you all using, or would you recommend checking out.

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

Best agencies doing corp comms rn? Or should I say, people in corporate practices loving the work their doing? Cool clients you're working on that have healthy budgets?

- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

Candid thoughts on the Ogilvy LA office?

Thinking about transitioning from advertising (10 years as a copywriter) into public relations. Has anyone in this bowl done that? What types of roles should I be looking for?

I have two things i want to know!
1. I have a an interview with Disney coming up for a Comms strategy specialist. How should I prep for that?
2. I want to apply to Microsoft for a Comms Manager role. I am having a hard time on finding the right people to network with for a referral/how to stand out from the crowd.
So if anyone has any tips or people i can talk to would be great!!

I am in a period of growth in my role (in house and getting more exposure to top management) - im grateful for it but I also have constant anxiety during and after work hours. Does anyone who’s been in a similar position have tips for riding this wave? Hoping it’ll get easier.

Has anyone ever worked with a recruiter/headhunter? Are there any pr/mar comms focused firms you'd recommend?
