I'm really impressed by how [CRED ](cred) and [Spinny](spinny)  have nailed their branding and ads. Anyone know other startups with amazing marketing?

Day to Day Office

I’ve been working at a startup since 2018. We were in a temporary office on the outskirts of the city, but now we’re shifting to a prime location. The problem? We’ll have to pay for parking an extra ₹80K-₹1.3L per year.

It’s not a huge amount, and I can manage it, but it still feels like a sneaky pay cut. During the temp phase, we had free parking, which made it seem like parking would be covered permanently. Now, that’s not the case.

Should I ask for a raise to offset this cost? If yes, how do I frame the request without sounding petty? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🚦😕

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I have been working in this company for 4.5 years. Joined at 2.2LPA. With small small hikes, at the 3 year mark, I reached 6.25LPA. After that I have never received any hike. They only changed my designation from Senior to Specialist. And that too I have not received any formal mail, just a notification from the internal portal. I am about to resign as I got a new job. Before I leave should I push for a formal hike and promotion, so that I can negotiate better for the upcoming HR round with the new employer? 

My expectation was 10LPA. But the new employer mentioned the offer would be around 7 to 7.5LPA as 10 is a higher hike percentage, and something like it's against company policy. What should I do here?

Haven't received a hike and promotion in 1.5 years. About to resign. Should I ask for a formal hike and promotion before I leave?

My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133. 
I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter).  
This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. 
I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response.  

Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?

New offer. Confused.

I recently switched jobs with a 48% hike, and my current in-hand salary is ₹35K. But after joining, I realized a few important things that weren’t mentioned during the interview.

1. No Phones or Bags Allowed – We have to keep them in lockers, which I wasn’t informed about before joining.

2. Working Saturdays – HR said all Saturdays are working but assured that one Saturday off per month would be introduced soon. I can't see that happening anytime soon

3. Phone Policy Confusion – When I asked HR why this wasn’t discussed earlier, they said it’s only for two months and won’t be the case at the new location (which was discussed earlier). But some old employees say the same rule applies there too.

4. Leaves – We get 21 paid leaves a year.

I’m already thinking of switching. Would it be too soon to leave within 3 months, or should I stay for at least 6 months? Also, since I just got a good hike, how much can I ask for in my next job?
