Hi Fishes,
I resigned from TCS in August and in another 18 days it's my LWD with TCS, now i got call from my lead saying they will provide canada onsite opportunity and he said he has multiple projects at onsite which he can give me, some are saying it's just a gimmick to retain you nothing else, my DM asked me to say yes or no by tomorrow so that he can start the process he said once i get approval mail then only i can take back my resignation. Do you think i can believe my DM? Tata Consultancy Infosys

I did... PPED wasn't happy but I was ready to let go, so first thing first... You must be ready to move on if things backfire.
1. I got my resume ready and became more active in LinkedIn. I was honestly ready to get what I thought I was fairly worth or move out.
2. I wrote a letter to my ED telling her that while not actively looking, I realized that my comp was not in line with what the market is paying for my experience, I recognized my shortcomings, then talked about my strengths, and lastly talked about my future with the organization. After that I asked her for what I believe what was my current market rate or for a transition plan that would allow me to pass along my responsibilities and start actively looking for a position. Before handing the letter, I told my manager and had a candid conversation with him so it doesn't come as a surprise.
3. The letter went up the chain and my salary adjustment was approved.
This doesn't mean it will be the same for you, but if you are being underpaid for the market, then the market will have no problem to pay you what you are worth. But first, establish an 6 month emergency fund, brush up your resume, get any skills or certifications that would position you better, and then pull the trigger when ready.
I would get another offer in hand before I attempt anything like this
Thank you for the detailed response EY1. Sounds like you were calm, composed and made a solid case, so kudos.
Anyone successful with a title adjustment or “promise” of one at the next year-end?
I’ll be honest. I tried this and it horribly backfired thank god I had an offer in hand
They laughed me out of the room and told me to take the other offer. They thought I was lying...I wasn’t. So when I left they were pretty shocked
