Everything is good about this company except the appraisal. I got a my expected package while joined TCS and after 7 years completion and very good bands over many years now I feel like I am getting very less salary. Their appraisal and promotion pay is marginally less. So I recommend not to stay on TCS for quite long time like me.

View All

My current salary is 28 LPA and few companies like TCS and Capgemini have rejected me after all rounds because they think my salary is high. However I am not good with DSA to apply for good product based companies. I already resigned from my current company and relieved. I need your advice on if I should ask same 28 LPA or look for 10-20% hike?
