Job/Referrals

Hello all,
I am having difficulty connecting with people for jobs, have applied at Amazon, Deloitte, Wells Fargo, CITI etc via career page but it's been months and no response.
And can't find much on Linkedin. I would really appreciate it if you guys can share any consultancy numbers based in Mumbai or their emails or if you can let me know about any vacancies in your company.
I have worked in Icogz for 1 year 10 months as a Junior Python Developer, then I am recently working in Network Tech Lab as Software Engineer (Python) for 6 months.
I have a total of 2.4 years of experience. My current CTC is 3 lpa.
Complete graduation From Viva College Mumbai University.
I live in Mumbai.( If that helps?)

Interview Tips & Stories

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM.  Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours.  Seriously, they didn't even acknowledge me until 10.

Then this HR lady calls me in, and she's totally unprofessional.  She's like, on her phone, making personal calls while I'm sitting right there. And then she starts asking me these really weird questions, like what my nickname is, and what my dad does for a living.

It got really uncomfortable when she started pressing for details about where my dad works. I mean, what does that have to do with anything? So I politely told her I didn't want to answer, and she actually said, "Then we can't continue this interview."

I was honestly shocked. But instead of arguing, I just stood up and said, “Alright then.” And walked out.

I left feeling pissed. Not only did they waste an hour of my time, but the HR rep was also rude and unprofessional..

Career Advice

Hello,
6 months ago, I switched from my previous job to my current one with a 40% salary hike. At that time, it seemed like a great opportunity, but now, I am seriously considering my decision.
My previous job had,
1. A European MNC team with excellent support and work culture
2. Good Time for my family & personal life
3. Flexible timing & permanent work-from-home
4. 5 days working with proper work-life balance

Now, in my current Indian company:
1. 12-hour workdays, with additional work on Saturdays (despite a 5-day work policy)
2. No proper training
3. Toxic work culture, where I get scolded daily due to a lack of training
4. Hardly any time for my kids and parents
5. Started my health issues

My previous company is willing to take me back with a 10% hike on my last salary. Given the work-life balance, supportive environment, and long-term growth prospects I had there, I am thinking of returning.
*It is not going to impact on my monthly expenses.*
Would you recommend going back?

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation.

My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

Engineering - Software & QA

Resign BPO , Should I resign this job and have consistent 3months focus on any new IT subject , does it will be helpful as the market is not good so far for freshers nor bpo candidates , if I will be in the present company , surely I'll be dead and if I give time to myself I can heal , practice and focus I think so , is that good or not ? As bpo has yearly 3-5% hike and where IT atleast have 10% hike , money is the key factor, I am totally confused, can anyone help me up ASAP.

Career Growth

I’m currently working as an Azure Data Engineer with 6 years of experience in India. While I enjoy my role, I am actively exploring onsite opportunities in any country to enhance my career growth, financial stability, and global exposure.

I would love to hear from professionals who have successfully transitioned from India to onsite roles or who are in this process. How did you navigate the process? Which countries are actively hiring? What strategies worked for you—internal transfers, direct applications, or consulting firms?
