Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

Hi everyone,

I am currently working at TCS as a Mainframe Developer with 3 years of experience. My current CTC is ₹4,38,000. I am planning to switch to another company and would like to understand:

1. What CTC can I realistically expect from other companies?
2. Any tips for negotiating a better offer during interviews?

Day to Day Office

My manager made this WhatsApp group called 'Weight Loss Group' out of the blue. He just announced it on a call and boom, there it was. He wanted us to post our weight like, pictures of our feet on the scale twice a week. He'd even tag us in our regular work chat to remind us. It was super strange. Thing is, our team's never talked about weight loss before. One of my coworkers asked if we could do it just once a week, but the manager said no. It didn't feel optional at all, since we were just added without any say. I'm wondering if this is normal. Do other teams do this?

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!

Freelancers, any insights?

How Much Should I Charge for My First Freelance Project?

I have been working in this company for 4.5 years. Joined at 2.2LPA. With small small hikes, at the 3 year mark, I reached 6.25LPA. After that I have never received any hike. They only changed my designation from Senior to Specialist. And that too I have not received any formal mail, just a notification from the internal portal. I am about to resign as I got a new job. Before I leave should I push for a formal hike and promotion, so that I can negotiate better for the upcoming HR round with the new employer? 

My expectation was 10LPA. But the new employer mentioned the offer would be around 7 to 7.5LPA as 10 is a higher hike percentage, and something like it's against company policy. What should I do here?

Haven't received a hike and promotion in 1.5 years. About to resign. Should I ask for a formal hike and promotion before I leave?
