How is thoughtworks hikes, wlb, does it provide any benefits apart from fixed pay?

What’s the inside scoop

Hi fishes! I had asked for benefits other than CTC which Bank of America provides & now that I've completed 1 month here, here's the list of allowances you'll be getting irrespective of position/band:
1. Sodexo: 1300 p.m./ 15,600 p.a.
2. Transport allowance: 900 one way, 1800 two ways p.m./ 21,600 p.a.
3. Internet: 1500 max p.m. (other than that, one time installation charges)
4. Tuition fee: Any certification related to your field. Like CFA, FRM etc. 3,00,000 p.a.

in practice probably equal. but in theory, more flexible pto days are more valuable. and you probably can take sick days without taking PTO in option a
In your example the 20 days of PTO is better then 15 days of PTO, 3 sick days and 2 personal days. The reason being you have 20 days off in both situations but you are restricted in when you can use the sick days for example you probably would not be able to use them in conjunction with PTO days.
20 days of PTO, hands down. If they specify sick days, chances are they'll be inclined to want you to prove you're sick and that is a complete invasion of privacy. Any employer who thinks they are entitled to your medical information can stuff it.
20 days of PTO since this company will also most likely have some sort of sick policy as well. In most states, it is a requirement.
Option 1...if you quit, all of the days get paid out. The sick days and personal days don't in many states.
B. It’s more flexible
I agreed, the issue that I have seen is that some people were not taking their PTO when they were really sick.
What is a personal day vs a PTO day?
When I think of a "personal day" in this scenario...PTO = planned and approved in advance, sick day is just that, a day you are calling in sick, personal day is a last minute hey my car won't start so I need to take a personal day, or hey my kid is sick so i need to take a personal day.
