I think that all depends on how much you are working currently and what your current salary is. For me, I couldn't take that big of a pay cut even if I wanted to because I wouldn't be able to pay my bills. I sure wish I could decrease my hours by 20 hours a week though.

I am thinking with the fact that I am single with no family responsibilities I would be OK with a 20% pay cut. temporarily of course.

How would the 20% pay cut impact your standard of living?

Not a big difference as I would be relocating from New York to Texas. My cost-of-living would go down.

Seems like a very good deal.

If you work a normal week, you get half of your time back for 20% cost.

Economically, it gets worse the more hours you currently work.
However, if you work 100h+ a week, then it would still be good to get 20h back of “life”, so you don’t get burnt.

That’s my thoughts exactly. I don’t typically work 100+ hours a week but definitely been there done that.

If you’re working 100 hours a week as someone said, it’s worth it. But also depends how much you’re making.

20% of $250K is worth it, 20% of $100K isn’t.

Yah agreed.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
