Bain adjusts its bonus compensation payout

While actual bonus amount hasn't changed, they've adjusted the % for high performers. 4 raters were previously paid 150% and 5 raters were paid 200%

Not like I had motivation to work hard enough for a 4 anyway but now it's not even worth much lol

This seems not as bad as the reduction that McKinsey has seen - 50% reduction basis what I read recently in their bonuses

Is 4 mandatory for promotions?

Yep definitely not as bad for sure, I wonder if McKinsey has really seena 50% cut of their entire bonus or just the profit linked component (Bain doesn't have this) - I guess time to reach out to some Mck friends :P

Nope, don't need a 4 - just a 3 upwards

Love how they tried to mask it under a "Congratulations for your hard work" kinda mail 😂

Also low key annoyed to announce this at the end of your performance review, they should've ideally made it effective next year onwards

Can be super wide ranging - really depends on the project and client you get assigned to. Each project can be anywhere between 3 months to a year

For eg, right now I'm working for an eCom client helping them with their growth strategy

This structure is applicable for Associate Consultants as well ? Do they get these type of bonuses as well ?

You're right, it isn't a big hit for most employees.

But for 5 rater (someone who really outperformed), they would know receive say a 15L bonus vs a 3 rater still gets 10L. In the previous system, outperformers would get a 20L bonus

Woah didn’t know 2 digit bonuses are even possible. Idk the base u guys are getting but a bonus is still a bonus - there’s no guarantee of same or more profit just like stock price.

Unpopular opinion, LLMs will displace a good chunk of consultants.

Logically they should, along with a large chunk of SDE jobs as well. Probably will happen over the next 5-6 years

Yes, the first signs is lower hiring of freshers.

What other second order effects you see?

Do you get yearly bonus ?

Hi .. so I wanted to know like when you actually get bonus from the company? Is it during the Diwali period or the financial year end.

Also if you get bonus, does it based on your ratings and how often does company cheat and pay nothing...
