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?

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

Is the offer 16Lpa +8% variable pay good for 2.5y java developer?

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”? 🤔

Interview Tips & Stories

I am working as a front-end developer for 4.5years in a same company. So I think this is the right time to switch my job.

I attended F2F interview yesterday(21-01-25) at TCD, I completed two rounds of interview and wait for a while, they say you may leave now you got a call from us soon.

Is they call me either I cleared the interview or not cleared it, or they call only I cleared the interview?

Can I wait for the call or focus on other interview?
