Before. Why waste a minute of anyone’s time?

During is what I would say and is what I have done with recruiters. No point going through the entire process to find out they can’t match the salary you want!

Hello All,

I am new to PWC AC Kolkata, I heard from someone that the hike and bonus are given on the basic pay not on the CTC offered. Is it true? Could someone throw light on this.

What's the flexi basket plan(FBP) in Barclays. Whats the overall monetary value of this component (which is not a part of your CTC). Does it depends on your CTC or flat value for everyone? Any idea would be appreciable!
