...n SoftwareAG from past ~3 years. I had best ever experience with SoftwareAG w.r.t to learning especially new technologies, lots of onsite opportunities (short terms), compensation. However, it depends from individuals to individuals but for me it has been a fantastic experience so far. :)

At Software AG, you feel like free in terms of work we do. Salary is Good compared to other companies. Work-life balance is also good. As it is a product based, you really feel the product while developing the feature for it. You own the feature, not like in other product company you just develop the feature. Here you start from gathering the requirement for the feature to present the feature to the end user. End to end your inputs will be respected. Career growth is also good. While you work on the product you will learn more and more technologies and how to use the known one.

New Job, Higher Pay, Now I’m Feeling Awkward

I’ve been at my new job for about six months now, and everything’s been going great! I’m getting positive feedback from my manager, and I get along well with the team. The thing is, when I started, my salary offer ended up being much higher than the initial number discussed during my interview. I didn’t negotiate and just accepted the offer. So, fast forward to happy hour with the team, and the topic of salary comes up. I, unfortunately, shared what I’m making, and let’s just say... it didn’t sit well with the others who have been on the team for years and make less than me. They weren’t mad at me, but now I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and unsure how to handle this situation. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you deal with it? Let’s chat!
