Career Advice

My salary is currently 7 LPA, this year's hike is probably 14% or less. I am having 6 years of work experience in which 2+ years of experience in VBA developer. I have worked really hard and pushed way beyond to complete the tasks. The company's policy is like 90 days notice. If I quit now, they won't give me the hike and the 3 months of notice won't be included for bonus as well. It's really pressuring here and I travel 30 km everytime to office. Please advise me what to do. Thank you 🙏

Yesterday, IT workers in Bengaluru took to the streets, demanding a life beyond their screens. That makes me wonder, will this be a turning point, or will companies continue to burn out their employees?

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..
