However in the greater context of the deal I am willing to accept it because we all have choices except for the newest of newhires and even they will be senior in 6 months. What happens if the hiring/movement grinds to a a halt will be your next point right? Training will naturally slow down so the impact will ebb and flow.
You can call it selling out if you want. I agree it is the worst part about the deal, but I'm willing to go along with it because of the upsides in the TA and the fact that I don't think most guys will even notice the impact.
well scope, sick, and LCA bidding were all big deals to me and so of course I have to address them. Youre solidly focused on the money portion of it, and that's fine, but buyer beware. Youre money making opportunities wont be there like you hoped. Under the current PWA you can essentially write your own paycheck, and then enjoy the higher PS on it. You tie your hands with this new TA. This isn't about throwing a specific concession at you to see what sticks, its about the whole package. If you look at only the money you miss a lot of the important details that youre voluntarily giving up without any pushback whatsoever.
Prediction: You and I are going to have this conversation again in 2018. And I'll remind you in 2018 that this is the year to stand up for yourself. And in 2018, you'll come up with more reasons to take the first deal. Ok lets seal that in the vault and revisit in 3 years
