No skills oriented work. you will have to work only in SQL with BI developer as Analytics Engineer. Team culture is very fake, you will have multiple calls in a single day and they will expect you to complete your work as soon as possible. Very hectic processes for any small deployment. And if you did any mistake unknowingly they will crush your confidence just like that. Also appraisal is not good.

Hi All, During a job opportunity, when the recruiter asked for my expected CTC, I mentioned 12 LPA, as my previous job's fixed salary was 7.8 LPA. Now, I’ve been shortlisted for the Product Designer role and have learned from some sources that their maximum budget is 14 LPA. How should I approach the negotiation? Would it be reasonable to ask for 14 LPA, considering I initially stated my expectation as 12 LPA? The job is based in Gurgaon, and I have 4.5 years of experience. Looking forward to your advice!
