Hello All, I have offer in hand of 27.5 LPA+15% variable from ZS Associates as a BT Solutions delivery consultant and now my current company is ready to retain me by matching the offer & assuring that they will send me onsite to UK in couple of months. Now I am in a dilemma of what to do as I have been looking for onsite opportunities for my entire career so far. Kindly share your thoughts. Tech stack- ETL, abinitio, aws YoE 9 years CCTC 18.2+10% variable Capgemini
Hello ZSers,
I have been shortlisted for AC role and my HR discussion is scheduled next week.
1. Need some insights on the maximum and minimum ctc (fixed and variable) that can be offered for 3 yoe (all relevant) . My current ctc is 7.2 (6.5 fixed) . Tech stack - Big data and AWS developer.
2. Is there any joining bonus. If yes , what should be the ask.
Any inputs will be very helpful for me to go with my expectations to the HR. Thanks!
ZS Associates

I once negotiated both a flesh lite and a bean bag chair. Shoot for the moon, man. And or woman.
Good God - there’s such a thing as a “CRM shop”??

Salary can vary widely depending on what type of work you do and what “level” agency. If you’re talking a CRM shop, that’s a completely different ballgame than an integrated creative AOR shop.
High 100s-low 200s. A growth plan. Maybe some bonuses depending on performance. I dunno what stuff you’re thinking of that you’re able to negotiate
Yes, there are such things as CRM shops. Typically boring work for decent money. I’ve seen CDs at CRM shops make $200K+ and I’ve seen highly-awarded CDs at traditional/360 creative shops make $500K+, though that certainly wasn’t the “norm” by any means. It’s not really a one-size fits all role and salary.
What type of work? Traditional TV and integrated campaigns? Any awards? Big-name shops on your resume? How much time as an ACD? How much time in the industry? Art or copy? Solo or partner? So many variables. Giving context to any or all of those may help get you some more precise numbers from similar CDs, which would probably be most helpful since I don’t personally agree with high $100K to low $200K as the LA CD range.
