...w salary in terms of people hired from different companies with same experience. 2)Not Sure they have exams for increasing the salary structure or not but as of now I haven't seen an instance that someone changed from a domain and got salary increment. 3)WFO : They could've given WFH for staffs with low salary as they are getting very low salary and then they have to rent house and everything for their livelihood which cost pretty high and ultimately it hampers the mental state of the employee because he can't manage the salary for their personal needs and their desires because he don't have money in his pocket.
