Day to Day Office

There are my colleague 2 TLs , in office, they are always making fun of me and today when I slept for few minutes on desk as I was not feeling well they took my photo and making fun in meeting room stating are you still in sleep, I feel like crying not only for this but for any thing they will bring my name, try to plot me in meeting if I am not meeting any parameter, for them it's seems normal and cool but for me it is becoming unbearable

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I am an electrical engineering graduate with 3 years and 9 months of experience, including 2 years and 9 months as a functional business analyst in the tech industry. While I lack technical expertise in data analysis and machine learning, I’ve gained surface-level knowledge and recently started learning Python, SQL, and other skills to transition into data, ML, or AI-related roles. With AI advancing, I’m worried about sustaining my non-tech role. Currently earning 7 LPA working in lower mid level product company, I’ll soon be the sole earner in my household.

What salary can I aim for with a shift to the data domain, and what key topics or skills (e.g., Python, SQL, Power BI, ML fundamentals) will help me secure a stable, higher-paying role in this field?

Everything is tier 3! from city to college so please share your thoughts accordingly🙂

I am confused can anyone help! Maybe I am bit too dense :-)

Career Advice

I'm presently working with Cognizant at a package of 5.08 LPA remotely with almost 4 yrs of experience in  Service Desk.Recently I've received an offer from HCL as a Senior Analyst at a package of 7.2 LPA in Service desk domain but it would be 5 days work from office .

I feel that the package is a bit low in HCL as I would be working from the office all days of the week.And also I might be due for promotion in Cognizant in March 2025 which might raise my package to 7 LPA

There's also a 12 month service-bond agreement with HCL

Kindly advice on what I'm supposed to do
Thank You

Switch to HCL or Stay in CTS?

Hi,
I have had a first round of interview with the company. And mentioned my salary expectations as 15- 20% from my previous LPA. But after that I feel like I have undervalued my expectations. Being in the field for 9 years with the required skill, considering the market and the prospect company is a well known builder, i should have asked more. Anyway a face to face interview is scheduled next week. How to ask them a higher salary from what I have mentioned earlier. And how much I can ask more. 

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

News

DeepSeek claims they trained their AI model for under $6M, but that price tag seems way too low. Here’s why people are skeptical:

# Not Really Open-Source  They released model checkpoints and inference scripts, but the training script is missing. That’s a big red flag.

# Did They Train from Scratch? – Unlike Google, Meta, and OpenAI who spent billions training models from raw data DeepSeek may have borrowed data from O1, tweaking it instead of starting fresh.

# Paying Only Half the Bill?  Another theory? They underreported costs. Maybe their small firm only covered a fraction while their parent company (with 50K+ GPUs!) handled the real expenses.

Ironically, Big Tech trained AI using our data without consent. Now DeepSeek might’ve done the same just using their data instead. A case of “you reap what you sow”? 🤔
