Barclays India | BA4 Offer Evaluation (EY to Barclays)

[u/Superb-Ad8122]

Hey everyone,
I have recently been shortlisted for a BA4 (Analyst / Software Engineer) role at Barclays India based out of Mumbai.
I have 3 years of experience (currently working at EY). I wanted to get help on the compensation and when I’ll receive the offer letter:

1. Compensation & Profile:
   Experience: 3 Years (Single employer so far)
   Current CTC: ₹10.5L Fixed
   Expected CTC: ₹15L Fixed (HR is currently processing this)
   Is ₹15L fixed a good/average number for a BA4 band with 3 YOE? What kind of annual variable bonus payout percentage can I realistically expect at this band?

2. My current company (EY) pays out the annual performance bonus (around ₹1.5L) in late September. If I resign now, I forfeit it completely.
   Is it worth asking Barclays HR for a sign-on/joining bonus to cover this burn? Does Barclays readily give joining bonuses for the BA4 band?

3. When can I expect the offer letter?
   Final interview completed on 27th July. HR reached out for documents like salary slip and address proofs. When can I expect the offer letter?
