Thoughts on working at McCann or INNOCEAN?
How is pega practice in LTI ?
After weeks of no contact Goldman Sachs have finally come back to me with an offer of £75k for an associate role within Global markets ops (collateral management) in London. I initially gave them salary expectation of £80-85k and have 2 competing offers around £80k range. I’ve tried to negotiate and tried to ask for higher but they won’t budge or match my other offers. They’re saying the pay is in line with the peer group and my experience (7.5 years). Am I being lowballed? Goldman Sachs

DM if u wanna join Infosys.
I just got an offer for Accenture’s consulting development program and am wondering if I should negotiate my initial offer as a new grad with little consulting experience. I got another offer for EY business transformation but it pays less.
How do I ask ACN for more money and should I mention my other offers?
Any advice is appreciated!

- housing subsidy
- private healthcare/ dentists
- food
- office facilities (gym/shower/sleeping pods)

One engineers systems and the other engineers software. Things usually pay more due to supply and demand.
Supply and demand. Companies need to hire tons of SWEs to build applications. On the other hand you don’t need nearly as many SEs.
Hence salaries are higher for SWE as there is more demand.
I wouldn’t necessarily say one is harder than the other.
SWE requires in-depth knowledge of algorithms and is more deep knowledge in a relatively narrower area.
SE requires really wide knowledge of different areas (OS concepts, networking, observeability, IaaC, containerization, DNS, OSI Model, TLS) so it covers tons of different areas.
Personally, I much prefer SE work to SWE type of roles. It’s a lot more high level which is more interesting than being wholly involved in the nitty gritty details. Exits are also really good if you have good communications skills.
