Was about to ask the same thing. There are ~280 resolutions to that initialism on a random website that I've found, none of which are easily applicable to the context.

One of the things I despise about these jobs is the overuse of initialisms and acronyms. It's literally gatekeeping even if done subconsciously. It also fucks with new hires quite a lot because they have no idea what AC, SOP, PR, NPS, etc mean

Total Comp here, but in the subcontinent it also stands for something vulgar, so clarification or avoiding it is probably best.

Ironically, I don't know what "the subcontinent" refers to. Gatekeeping and in-speak happens naturally in every context.

That one is much easier to Google though, as the expression is really only used to refer to one thing (the Indian subcontinent)

No idea what you could be referring to. I think maybe you're thinking of BC or MC?

Total Compensation, meaning it includes non-salary components such as shares of stock/options, other benefits, etc.
