What is the hierarchy at your company and the salary differential for each position? We have staff attorney, associate general counsel, assistant general counsel, deputy general counsel, and then general counsel. Thx. I would guess that the ranges are about $25k differential per position.

Salary differentials aren’t usually that big in my experience - like 10%. The bigger difference is the bonus potential. While counsel might get 10-15% annual bonus and zero long term incentive options, VPs get 30-50% annual bonus and 30-50% long term incentives, plus access to the top hat plan, which allows for non qualified retirement savings with an additional match.

We have a bunch of individual contributors and a bunch of traditionally organized management roles. No use of any GC variant roles. It’s possible to be promoted within individual contributor roles without being on a managerial track.

No idea about salaries, though.

Assistant counsel, associate counsel, senior counsel, managing counsel, deputy GC, GC. Range seems to be at least 30k between promotions

We don’t have counsel, but there is room in the org chart. Going up the chain—senior counsel, assistant Gc, associate Gc, Gc. No idea about comp.

FWIW - when I’ve looked into this before, there is no set or consistent hierarchy. Titles give a sense of seniority, but different companies do it differently.

Various specialty counsel, AGCs, DGC, and GC. Our GC is a Section 16 officer so her comp is public (salary is ~30% higher than mine, but all in comp is about ~3x mine). As someone else noted, my AGCs make only ~10% less salary than me, but my bonus and LTIP grants are substantially larger.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.
