...third party and they will promise much more but you get nothing on that time. Don't join SGS on third party pay role because here the management hire you to complete required project but after that they will fire you. Here job security and future is in critical.

No salary when company has no Work even joined as monthly salary/ Company Employees with Employee code

Dislikes

Company has stopped giving salary without intimation when company has no work, and so much forces to attain duty company when they get work immediately. Specially pratik Patel and jitendra Mistry. This happens with so many employees.

Salary Expectations

I am a Social Media Specialist with over 4 years of experience and was earning around 4.5 LPA in my previous role. When I joined my current organization, I discovered that my manager, with just 2.5 years of work experience, was earning a compensation of 7.6 -8.2 LPA (approx). This was quite surprising to me, and it made me question the market standards. I am currently looking to switch roles and, based on my research through Glassdoor and other sources, I am expecting a package of 7-8 LPA. However, many HRs I’ve spoken to feel that even 6 LPA is too high. What should be the ideal salary expectation for someone with my experience in the current market?
