Working in FP&A after pivoting from FDD. Work life balance is much better, work is rewarding, colleagues are nice(r) maybe because folks are less stressed. The pay i would say depends company to company.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!

Does anyone have experience/knowledge regarding whether the different B4 deal analytics teams 1) work remote 2) still travel?
