Without transparent salaries, clear reasons why people are paid what they are getting paid and getting rid of the adversarial negotiation process, how do we know if people are getting paid less for being POC, or a woman? Happy to hear any other suggestions to accurately eliminate discriminatory salary earnings by companies.

The stigma around people talking about what they are paid is one of the most sinister secrets in this industry and most others. I am 100% for salary transparency: sr. writer, white male, NYC 130k, 6.5 years experience. I recognize its a lot, but it’s exactly what women and PoC with the same credentials should be making too.

I mean, it would be a HUGE coincidence if POC and women's salaries were just lower because they weren't performing as good as white men. Come on, we know because it's a trend.

Check out sites like Glassdoor, or even ask friends, or folks here in fishbowl to find out the average salary for your position. It’s how I’ve known what to ask for my entire career. Because every company is looking to save money and get you on the cheap.

Hi Fishes! I have had the Director round for the Senior Associate role Pwc AC under Digital Learning and Upskilling. I have 15 months of experience in the consulting division. How much should the salary be for this role? And, do I stand a chance at the firm?

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
