Also incorrect 👆🏻Bonuses are taxed one of two ways. First, as supplemental income which is 25% flat rate and then they are also subject to state, social security and medicare on top of that. OR second, they can be added into a paycheck and taxed normally.

Hello guys,

Can any one share after the director round in how many days I can expect next round call, HR not responding to my call. Even I06 means for which designation and salary range can I negotiate for FP&A profile. And how much variable pay they are offering on fixed ones.

Thanks in advance 😊
