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

Day to Day Office

Hey all

Recently I moved to another organisation to my surprise the entire work environment is too different from what I have expected.

And I need to work under My DM who is right in front of us who does micro monitoring so much and it was completely new to me.

Even seniors were saying be careful with him as 7-8 people recently have moved out of the company due to some differences and here I have joined a month ago and Heard more stories about my DM.

How to work and not get focused into him as recently he sent mail to HR for another person due as a bad performer.

Idk how I'll manage here as of now I just want to leave this company within 6-9 months.

If I do will it create any bad impression on me during HR as I just switched 2 companies in less than 4 years even though my package isn't that great!!

Give your suggestions!!!

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

CTC - 8 LPA
Loc - Bengaluru, India
I have been working in the same company for the last 5 years. My salary went from 3.6 LPA to 8 LPA over the years. I recently put papers, and, started giving interviews. I got an offer from TCS for 15 LPA(12.8 fixed). For more than a month, I've been giving interviews, asking for 18 LPA and many HRs are rejecting straight away, citing it is more than 100% hike from my current CTC. I kept trying and now I am selected for 5 companies - Iris Software, Capgemini, Quantzig Analytics, PwC, HCL, Infinite. Salary discussions are about to start and I'm confused. I'm not good at this. Can anyone suggest?

Confused about Salary negotiations

I am java backend dev and my current tech stack is Java, spring boot, microservices, restful APIs, mysql, dsa(400+ problems in leetcode) Have knowledge in kafka as well but no hands on experience.

My current CTC is 7Lpa

No frontend or cloud experience. I got the above offer(hyd location,hybrid model). I have already resigned in my company, attended few interviews but failed in all. Should I prepare more rigorously? Or be satisfied it's a good package for my current exp?

TIA
