That seems very high. I’ve been interviewing for AD roles and most balk at paying more than 140k. But freelance (1099) comes with extra expenses so maybe $85-90 an hour is good...

Thank you! Re: salary- Keep in mind I have been in the role for 3 years. When I started as an AD I was getting paid $115.

Op - you’re averaging an 18k per year bump over those 3 years? Why leave - that is far beyond the norm.

Hasn’t been all at one place. The significant bump was when I changed agencies.

Account people freelance? Like take people out to dinner and stuff?

I've got an offer from Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS). They are offering 20 LPA fixed.
Currently CTC = 14 LPA (Fixed + Variable)

Should I make the move or wait for a year to bag a better offer (maybe 25+)?
The HR said I'm getting 20 cause of less YOE

Also, what's the WLB and work in OFSS?
