  • Cummins is generally paying low. And Columbus city has no other companies. You’ll end up finding your wife working at Cummins as well.

      It comes with a wife only if you want your "wife" to be an Indian male (like over 90% of everyone you will interact with).

    What role ? Masters in which domain ?

    If its a fresh grad entry level position, I don’t think its a low offer.

      I think you can ask for it. They don’t do much but you should be able to get 3-5k.

      You’ll get a good amount for relocation though, based on where you’re relocating from.

    I think you did good. SG23 is where new non-Ph.D. grads start at. They likely considered your 6 yrs prior to MS and gave you SG24. Sign on bonus can be 5k-10k. You can also take the lumpsum on the relocation package if you need more sign-on money and can manage your own move.

    Can you help me understand how you reached $123K? $92K + 8% target bonus is ~100K. The offer letter usually includes random stuff like insurance and 401k match, iirc. Most companies don't include that as part of their stated TC.

      Annual and promotion raises will definitely not be out of the world, but the first 2 promos come quick (3-5 years) and hopefully that will be a launchpad for something new. :)

    Cummins has a well established pattern of behavior of cyclical over-hiring followed by mass layoffs (see thelayoff.com and a contemporaneous post here about 2019 which mentions the 2015 round, which was even deeper). What's your plan in 2-3 years when you find yourself unemployed in Columbus?

      they stopped doing termination during those cycles for new grads at some point in the last decade. Also, it is usually business related since the trucking market has its lows and highs.

      Well if you are Indian, it's probably not that bad.
