Career Advice

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I've received a job offer for a Product Owner role with a CTC of 8.5 LPA (YoE- 1.5 years). The role requires working five days a week, including every alternate Saturday from office. I'm concerned this might affect my work-life balance. Should I continue considering this offer, or is it advisable to continue giving interviews and look for other opportunities? Would love to hear your thoughts! 

PS: I got laid off in January and got this offer now.

Thank you!

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!!!

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?

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

Hi,
I have had a first round of interview with the company. And mentioned my salary expectations as 15- 20% from my previous LPA. But after that I feel like I have undervalued my expectations. Being in the field for 9 years with the required skill, considering the market and the prospect company is a well known builder, i should have asked more. Anyway a face to face interview is scheduled next week. How to ask them a higher salary from what I have mentioned earlier. And how much I can ask more. 

Please help.
Thanks in advance.
