Please. PLEASE! 🙏🙏🙏

Show me the money! Let's talk compensation and hustle.

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I’ve been at my new job for about six months now, and everything’s been going great! I’m getting positive feedback from my manager, and I get along well with the team. The thing is, when I started, my salary offer ended up being much higher than the initial number discussed during my interview. I didn’t negotiate and just accepted the offer.

So, fast forward to happy hour with the team, and the topic of salary comes up. I, unfortunately, shared what I’m making, and let’s just say... it didn’t sit well with the others who have been on the team for years and make less than me. They weren’t mad at me, but now I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and unsure how to handle this situation.

Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you deal with it? Let’s chat!

New Job, Higher Pay,  Now I’m Feeling Awkward

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

I had fight with code reviewer he is from other team he is just arrogant and he complains to my manager , The manager gives wrong and negative feedback though I am technically sound , but got released by from the project by the manager

After that I got new project it was only 2 month I done all most all work got spot award also for this by working more than 12 hours .

Because of this overwork I am feeling stressed and new project is coming to me and they just asking me about justification for all 

1 Guys I am in pip but new manager said(may be choclate to employee) we will retain you by giving good feedback 
2 All people in the company want to take me in projects but asking me justification for pip
3.Working more than 12 hours every day and also attending late night calls 

I am stressed out every day with working hours and also the justification given to others lot of politics happening .
 Mentally draining with no patner in my life to share this who can understand this and guid .

Interview Tips & Stories

I've been getting more interview calls recently, and after months of silence., it’s a relief! Things are looking better out there. Keep building your skills and applying, guys. Patience does pay off!

For context:

I have about 5 years of experience in the IT field, currently working as a security analyst (contract role) for the past 6 months. I've been applying for analyst roles at junior/mid-level positions open to hybrid and remote setups.

Certifications I’ve done so far include CEH, CCNA, AWS Practitioner, and Splunk Essentials.

What’s been your experience with job hunting lately? Let’s help each other out!

Job Market Seems to Be Opening Up Again!

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🙂
