...rker, they would often get salary appraisal as per company norms and experience. They are liable to get Bonus or any other financial aids in time. Sometimes working environment will be very risky but with appropriate team work any difficulties can be Overcomed. Onnovative ideas will depend on the ability of Main Engineers and Labours. KSEB provide's a good Work-Time balance system as the Office time will be in between morning 10am to 5 pm in evening. KSEB ensures no home in Kerala is left in dark.

Salary - Excellent

Dislikes

People working under Contract with KSEB are quiet under payed. A permanent worker would get 4 times the money a contract worker would get for same work load or more and is not liable to avail any medical benefits or others. He will be at his own risk. Efficiency of the Kseb Substation or Office is depended on the skill and morality of the Main Engineer and associated workers.

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?
