13 month bonus in CS is better than zero bonus, getting laid off in the private sector or even cutting pay.

Regardless, keeping the assumptions constant (i.e. pre-covid), comparing annual package gives a better comparison because it counts both variable and non variable compensation. If you want to assume covid situation, then apply the same cuts and discounts accordingly.

Simply looking at basic monthly is a very myopic view.
I’m the poster you quoted - I don’t disagree but my question was how would a fresh graduate being offered the job know of the annual package? The offer letter certainly doesnt say?

Bonus and everything is honestly variable. I’m questioning the assumptions behind the calculations. In any case, 16mths based on a 3.8k salary is 61k which matches his numbers suspiciously. What i’m saying is that MAS offers 3.6-3.8k for freshies thats all
