What should all in comp be for first year associates? Base I got quoted is 175, trying to figure out what % of base to expect with bonus. Should I get min bonus language in writing with the recruiter in the offer letter?

I don’t think anyone is going to give you a range in writing as they protect themselves in case of a down year and they are discretionary. Also, % bonus this year is going to be tricky with the base salary increase, no one really knows exactly where bonuses will fall in the “new normal”

Expect prob 60-90%. Depends on the firm, often times it’s just a whisper bonus

MS does a whisper bonus. Have not heard it described as such though - first time i’ve heard that term

Often they’ll give a minimum range for stub bonus amounts, but this late in the year I wouldn’t expect it. If you’re still negotiating the employment agreement, you’re probably looking at best case two months pro-rated. I’d ask for signing bonus commiserate to what you’d expect in this year’s bonus. If asking in general, they won’t disclose the % of base, but you can ask the recruiter for a median of bonuses paid to last years first years (remember their salary was at the old scale, probably $150) to get a closer idea.

Hi fishes,

Service bAsed companies are not releasing offers nowadays. I have left looking for offers from any of service based companies. Except TCS, All are frauds and TCS won’t pay much anyway so done. They will lure you to give interviews and later when all rounds are done and docs are submitted, they will come and say we can’t pay you. I have faced the same with capegemini, tech Mahindra, infosys, cognizant. Is this the case with anyone ? Or am I the only one with bad luck

Did the company you work at do anything above and beyond it’s normal compensation practices to account for inflation this past year? My organization generally gives everyone a 2-4% raise each year by default (sometimes they add merit-based increases on top of that-but most get the 2-4%) - but they did not do anything to account for inflation in 2021 which was 6%+. I am part of leadership - and we are discussing how to deal with this - curious about other experiences/suggestions.
