A friend of mine and I had this conversation: did you stay in this industry because you truly liked finance or because you were good at your role?

Ditto this!

Simply because I'm good at my role. I've learned I have no dream job or role, only things I don't mind doing.

Wait. There are people who truly like finance? I thought that was a myth. (Obviously I'm still here for the $$ and not the warm fuzzies)

Hello All,

I got selected in WIPRO and today I got to know they are offering me SAP Successfactor Learning-Lead position.

I am a SAP ABAP on HANA consultant and my interview was also based on my area of expertise only not on Success factor.

Does any one here know about this position in WIPRO. If yes kindly share.

I think they will be giving me Band B3 (correct if my understanding is wrong). My HR round is tomorrow. What is the expected CTC for this band.

Question: I am on an AE Hiring process. the HR said the salary range is 60k to 70k plus commissions and bonus. I told them, I am looking for 80k, considering my current salary and experience. So far I already had 3 interviews, things are doing well, only one more. Do you think usually companies can go high than the salary range, even though they told me the salary was less than I am expecting?

Any thoughts?
