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!

To clarify, the role will be that of an Associate (post MBA equivalent)
Naive question maybe, but I assume you won’t have to pay any taxes? So $120k is your actual take home pay?
Same goes with bonus
Yes, no taxes in Dubai. I will still have to pay US taxes for income over 100k USD
If you have a good accountant you won’t have to pay taxes. Your package should, at a min, have ‘paid’ flybacks or a flex expense account for travel. ATK should have corporate apartments so no need for housing allowance
That is low. Compare COL to NY
SC1, considering no taxes this is equivalent to about 180K Base in NYC, which I think is good, no? Plus I don’t have to pay for housing...
Yeah you can’t compare it to NYC given he tax situation.
Given no taxes and feee housing, I think it’s a competitive offer. Bigger question is - are you okay with living in Dubai?
