...Senior program managers and above have a very poor appetite of technical things. Pay hikes/revision is very poor. If you have joined at a good compensation then you are most likely to have no monetary growth for few years. They say absolutely ridiculous things to deny you a hike. Its really funny. Then comes the office politics, if you are the kind, who can stay humble under technically challenged managers and let them supersede your meticulously placed logical solutions/thoughts then you are up for a very bright future. However this will lead to your "daimlerization", in other words you will be left unfit for the market. To summaries, It's a great brand and will give you a very lucrative offer ("shikari ayega dana dalega") take it if you really don't have a choice.

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!
