Underpaid Despite Top Performance - Need Career Advice
I'm a Process Automation Developer with 6 years of experience, currently working as a BPO3. My performance has been consistently excellent, receiving 'A' band ratings for 5 consecutive years, with another expected this year. Within my two-person team, both of us are likely to receive A bands again.
Despite my strong performance, I'm significantly underpaid at 5.8 LPA. While this is better than my peers who joined with me (still at 4 LPA), it's well below market standards. Even with the expected 10% hike after my next A band, my CTC would only reach about 6.5 LPA (approximately 40K monthly).
Current challenges:
- 90-day notice period making job switches difficult
- Working with proprietary technology only available within TCS
I'm considering 3 options:
1. Request a transfer from BPS to IT
2. Push for promotion to BPO4
3. Serve notice period and explore opportunities outside
For those who've been in similar situations: What would you recommend? Is this a good time to make a move?

If your work is automation heavy product based companies or consulting firms might offer better salaries
Are you actively applying elsewhere?
