I’ve coached people who have a mandatory sabbatical in their organization. What I’ve observed is people get really good at delegating in preparation for time off. Then they come back super recharged and stay with the company for a longer tenure. Consider that you don’t need to actually accomplish something during time off. That there is a ton of value in just being instead of doing.

Hi Fishes,

I recently got an offer from PWC for Associate Director position.

I understand PWC shows the fixed component only as part of compensation benefit.

Can you please let me know how much bonus I can expect?

Can you please also let me know what is the annual hike provided by PWC?

This is not a meme
