Would you prefer to be hourly or salaried? I am salaried, but hourly rates are tempting though.

I'm salaried as well. Hourly is certainly appealing for the overtime potential, but I don't think hourly employees are eligible for our benefits package. I don't think I'd be able to give that up. If I could retain benefits and work hourly, I'd definitely do it though.

Hourly pay is nice because you get paid for each hour you work. But salary feels safer because I know exactly what I'll earn each month which kind of gives sense of stability

I prefer hourly due to the sole reason that I feel much less guilty taking time off. When I'm salary, I always feel like it's wrong to go home early or take off a Friday here and there.

I'm salaried but I do a lot of overtime hours, so it really isn't working to my benefit. A few of us in the office have been thinking of talking to the manager about this. We are going to suggest an across the board raise for our unit or to be compensated for overtime. Not sure how we will make out but it's worth a try.

Depends on what the salary is… at one point I made the jump from hourly to salaried and thought it was great… until i realized they wanted me to be salaried so they wouldn’t have to pay my overtime

After being on both aarangements, I prefer being salaried. Hourly is nice when you get overtime but I like the consistency of salary. I know, down to the penny, what I’m going to get paid every month. And I mostly work exact 40 hour weeks, but there are days where the workload is light and I can binge some TV shows in the background.

Hii Sharks, I am currently with 12 L fixed and due for promotion within 6 months then my fixed might go with around 15.5 L with extra variable pay in PwC only. In pwc WFH option is there.

Now I got offer from KPMG where there are giving 16 L fix + 1 L JB. Also HR gave one day more to discuss. In KPMG need to go office at Bangalore.

Now is it worth to switch KPMG with that package by considering WOO, tax 30% effect ?

What amount I can tell KPMG to make my switch from PWC ?

Is it realistic to settle/resolve that many cases? I am trying to learn more about this niche before I counter-offer and attempt to negotiate.
