Below par compensation. Getting promotion is very rare as your experience grows, external certifications that are recognized across industry don't count during promotion discussion, TCS only considers internal trainings in this regard. No clear framework available for career growth like technology / management. Everyone is pushed into people management after overall 8 years of experience.

Hello, I got 32L CTC offer from TCS as an IAM associate consultant. Is it a good package considering I have 10.9 years of experience and in IAM 3.6 years? Rest of the experience is in dot net. Also, TCS is considering 10.2 experience only as some process on their side. Please share your thoughts on the offered package and the experience part. Thank you in advance.
