Career Advice

I have been working at my current organization for 2.6 years and started with a CTC of ₹8 lakh, which has remained unchanged since my joining. During this period, I have not received any promotions or salary hikes, which has made me question whether I should wait for growth within the company or explore external opportunities.

I am hopeful of getting a promotion in June this year, but I am unsure if it’s worth waiting for. Here’s what I am considering:

1. Stay and wait for the promotion: There’s a possibility of career progression in June. Should I wait for it, considering the time and effort I have invested here?

2. Start looking for a new opportunity: I could begin exploring other organizations where I might receive a better salary, role, and career growth. However, leaving without securing my next promotion feels uncertain.

I would appreciate suggestion:

Whether I should wait until June or start looking for better option or if you have something else please tell me in comments

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

Hey everyone,

I need some advice! 

What would be a fair CTC for a software developer with 4 years and 4 months of experience in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Kafka, and intermediate skills in Angular? 

This is for roles in Noida/Gurugram. Would love to hear your thoughts to get a realistic idea.

Thanks in advance!

Salary Expectation!

Hi everyone,

I’m in a dilemma and need advice. I started as a system administrator in a small company, managing web hosting and servers for PHP websites on Linux with Nginx and Apache. After two years, I felt the need to grow and work in a team, so I switched to a junior system engineer role. Unfortunately, I didn’t research the job well and now find myself doing basic tasks for a foreign hosting company—essentially glorified chat support, slightly above entry-level tasks, with flexible shifts I struggle to adjust to.

I feel stuck and disappointed. I have an AWS certification and solid experience with Linux and web hosting, but I’m unsure about my next steps. How hard is it to transition into DevOps? Are there roles focused solely on AWS? What career path should I aim for and what skills should I prioritize? I’d really appreciate any guidance.

Thank you!
