Less than the actual cost of living difference is

Because it is a cost of labor adjustment

Honestly the firms do a horrible job at compensating for change in COL… Let’s say from Chicago to NY.. you’d get probably like $15K raise

true, but honestly i would expect even less as a staff. but im coming from a lower COL than chicago so this makes me somewhat optimistic

I remember when I got a new salary upon moving to new city and then as we went through the annual performance year and announcement of your bonus/adjustment I was told that adjustment was my adjustment for moving and for my raise. I was pretty pissed at the lack of transparency. I don’t work for that big4 anymore.

funny

20% from Chicago to the Bay Area

I heard from recruiters that if students ask, they don’t differ / change by that much because there’s always someone who is willing to live in NY.

Currently I work for a mid-sized InsureTech that’s had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 6 months. Salary is 100k, with no defined bonus. I have close to 4 years of PO experience. I am debating whether I want to leave since my boss is very chill and I have amazing WLB. Benefits are eh. 15 PTO days and healthcare premiums are okay. Should I jump ship? What could I be making at a bigger company? What types of companies are most stable right now?

Are there any executives out there who have recently negotiated with their CEO for an updated compensation package?

I don't take the insurance through the company either. Currently no 401K match program available.

I was interviewed for SAP PP role in TCS and cleared all rounds last month on 24th August. Last week (9 sept) there was Salary negotiation and it was also done... Still didn't get any offer break up from TCS as per discussion till now. What to expect and what is next process now... Can someone help?

3.) Average billable rate (your year)

4.) Normal working hours/wk

5.) Percentages: Litigation vs Counseling

6.) Type of firm: ID, Big 4, Boutique, BigLaw, etc.

I'll kick things off in comments.

What do you do with a Staff with ~1 year exp that legit won’t work.

Morning comes and they still didn’t do it. When they finally do it, it is riddled with errors and clearly shows they didn’t try. Working under tight deadlines, this staff is killing me as I cannot rely on them at all. What would you do?
