Never heard of Merkle but seems like a sizable firm. They offer is certainly better than Deloitte.

Working at Deloitte is not fun! I would not recommend it. Plus you will likely never see a 23% bonus. Bonuses are tied first to overall firm performance, then to practice performance, then to group within practice performance, and finally to individual performance (which is loosely based on performance and more of a popularity contest). There’s very little individual control over bonus amount at Deloitte plus bad culture so I’d go with the other one and higher base.

LOL! I fully agree that the way to a 20%+ bonuses is by “taking on the crap work that no one else wants to do” - that said, I’m not confident that makes you a “top performer” so much as a sucker with no life.

At some point you decide whether you care more about the extra $10K for doing “crap work” or spending that time with friends, family, traveling, hobbies, vacations, sleep, etc.

That said, I guess we know which type of person each of you are now.

Is that deductible just for one person?

Thanks!

Unlimited pto is a bit misleading in some cases, and sometimes worse than having defined pto. When it’s explicit you can take the full amount without being shamed about it. Otherwise though Merkle seems better across the board so why not take that one? Is the experience significantly different than Deloitte?

I’d negotiate the Deloitte base if you can - based off the other offer. If you can’t get a higher base I’d take the other offer tbh.

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back.

Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.
