Career Advice

I'm working as a technical manager (Java based) in a global Bank having 16 years of experience, my whole career is with banking and financial services. Current CTC is 34LPA.

Now I think to change my job to get more salary, i get very few calls for interview because of 3 months notice period, and few of them were from different domains ( health care, logistics etc.). Is it wise to change domain? Or better to look for internal jobs with the bank?

Can we change domain after 16 years of experience?

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

Hi everyone,

I am currently working as a frontend developer in a startup. This is my second company. Ive been working here for 10 months now

I have total of 2.3 yeo and im getting 8 LPA (7.5 fixed + 50k variable).

I see lot of people having lesser yeo earning more than me. Is my salary below market standards? My appraisal cycle is in june month and I dont think my manager will promote me to senior role. Hence i wanted to switch to another company. Is it fine if i switch within 1 year in a company

Career advice for a fellow frontend developer

I recently switched jobs with a 48% hike, and my current in-hand salary is ₹35K. But after joining, I realized a few important things that weren’t mentioned during the interview.

1. No Phones or Bags Allowed – We have to keep them in lockers, which I wasn’t informed about before joining.

2. Working Saturdays – HR said all Saturdays are working but assured that one Saturday off per month would be introduced soon. I can't see that happening anytime soon

3. Phone Policy Confusion – When I asked HR why this wasn’t discussed earlier, they said it’s only for two months and won’t be the case at the new location (which was discussed earlier). But some old employees say the same rule applies there too.

4. Leaves – We get 21 paid leaves a year.

I’m already thinking of switching. Would it be too soon to leave within 3 months, or should I stay for at least 6 months? Also, since I just got a good hike, how much can I ask for in my next job?

Unexpected job policies: stay or switch?

Hey folks!
I might receive an offer letter from a BLR-based company that expects me to relocate from Mumbai. They’re offering me 16.7 LPA (~3.8 years of work experience) for a Data Analyst position with many 
additional perks. 

Was wondering if someone could give me some figures to understand general expenses in BLR and then understand how much I should be saving.

Their office is in Whitefield so my accommodation would ideally be nearby or at a 20-30 mins distance.
Thanks!

Update: I received an offer for 18.05 LPA from them!

Moving to Bangalore; need opinion on salary package to live in BLR (UPDATED)

Is the market for support agents dead right now... Have been trying to get a callback related to remote desktop support positions as well as incident management process.

Any suggestion or help would be appreciated 👍

Update- I have started getting calls now, just 8 days left .. hopeful I wouldn't be empty handed.

Serving notice, no offer yet, 20 days left

Day to Day Office

I’ve been working at a startup since 2018. We were in a temporary office on the outskirts of the city, but now we’re shifting to a prime location. The problem? We’ll have to pay for parking an extra ₹80K-₹1.3L per year.

It’s not a huge amount, and I can manage it, but it still feels like a sneaky pay cut. During the temp phase, we had free parking, which made it seem like parking would be covered permanently. Now, that’s not the case.

Should I ask for a raise to offset this cost? If yes, how do I frame the request without sounding petty? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚦😕
