...y here. These days its very difficult to stay/get a job once you reach 8+ years. If you are in TCS with this experience then better dont come out , no matter what ur salary is until unless u feel that u r a pro in what u know. If u join company as a fresher then for salary u might want to move out, I will say the same, if u r pro in programming den move out otherwise if u r not that good then move to similar big mnc's.

Got Offer from TCS!

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.
