Any former CS agency folks in here, what roles did you move into beyond agency life? Like many others I’m experiencing perpetual burnout and feeling disenchanted with the industry as a whole. Not sure what roles I can transition to without considering a pay cut.

Well you already have experience managing clients and projects so you'd definitely be a natural fit for Project management. Plus you'd get to work on the product side of things which can be a lot more rewarding than agency life.

I am currently in Wipro having CTC as 7.8 LPA.. I have got an offer from TCS which is 11LPA.However, my Basic Pay/Fixed compensation is getting reduced from my current base pay in the new offer and also the HRA is getting reduced. The HR is telling that the basic is fixed as per policy and they cannot change it. The base pay is less but there are several other components which are higher. Should I take up the new offer? Please help. Will the reduction in base pay impact my career?

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?
