IT & Information Security

Hi everyone,
 I have 3.2 years of QA (Manual Testing) experience and recently completed ITGC & SOX Audit training (paid ₹25K).

 I’m applying for ITGC/IT Audit roles through career portals but not getting any response
. I hold certifications in 

(ISC)² CC, Azure (AZ-900, AI-900), Fortinet, Salesforce AI, API Security, and more. 

I'm currently earning ₹40K/month, living on rent, and getting married soon — so I’m looking for a stable, better-paying role. My expected CTC is 9–10 LPA, but I’m open to realistic offers. 

My trainer suggested changing my job title to “ITGC Trainee” instead of “QA” in my resume. Is that a good idea? 💬 

Any advice on resume changes, salary expectation, or how to connect with HRs would really help. 

Thanks in advance! – Mohammad Afroz

Cool new thing on AmbitionBox Communities!

It’s not just about ranting, bashing, or blaming. It’s the little things that actually make or break your day.

Today, one of my team members asked me for a leave no sugarcoating, no excuses. Just a simple, “Can I take leave tomorrow? It’s my birthday.”

Now, my approval could’ve made all the difference. If I said no, he might still take the day off with a made up excuse. And honestly, I don’t even know if it’s really his birthday.

But what I did feel was intention. pure and genuine.
And it made me pause.

Being someone’s manager means a lot more than assigning tasks or tracking performance. Sometimes, it’s about understanding, trusting, and choosing kindness when it matters.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Being a manager comes with a lot of responsibilities.

Personal Finance

I wondered if saving was even possible.

Spent:
Rent ₹12k
Food ₹8k
Netflix & travel ₹3.2k
Emergency ₹2k

Saved the rest ₹24.8k:
₹10k in SIPs (ELSS, large-cap, mid-cap, gold ETF)
₹14.8k into emergency fund

6 months later:

Returns: 8–12%
Portfolio: ~₹1.9L

SIP = habit

Emergency fund - ready

POV:
Even on ₹50k, if you stay disciplined, saving ₹5–10k/month is absolutely doable.

When my first salary came in, 50k take-home

Just got my hands on a viral offer letter from a company that left me stunned. 
For a salary of just ₹12,000, female employees are expected to follow a strict dress code: only churidar-kurtas with a shawl pinned on both sides, hair neatly tied back with a ribbon, no jeans, no open hair, and no casual wear even on Fridays. It’s 2025, and we're still being told how to dress and present ourselves like schoolgirls?

This isn’t about professionalism, it’s about control. As a woman, it’s frustrating to see companies focus more on policing our appearance than valuing our talent. Is this an office or a finishing school?

Must wear churidar, tie hair up', - said the  offer letter
