2.5 YOE, 6.2 LPA Mainframe, recently got an offer from TCS for Mainframe Developer position with 7.5Lpa. My project Director called me and willing to match the salary here in Cognizant. He said i will be eligible for yearly hike as well.

Please suggest if truly I will be eligible for yearly hike after being retained and is it good to stay overall.

P.S - TCS gave 7.5 on top of 5.1 LPA, 6.2 is what i got recently in April promotion for Associate.

I suggest to not change the organisation for the small variation in CTC, you are already getting 6.2 so only switch if you get around 9 otherwise there will be no benifit of switch.

In case you are frustrated from the company and project, that's different matter

like

Don't switch for such small amount early in career to TCS.

If you want to switch try somewhere else be retained at Cognizant

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox. I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank!

Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?
