I'm getting close now to where I feel I'm paid sufficiently to accomplish the life goals I want. That means I value the balance between this salary range and responsibilities/expectations, and the older I get the more I value actual time off, not "vacation" where I wind up working regardless.

@EP1 💯. I've hit a high salary but because I got boned on title, the lack of proper title obscures credit and recognition for the hard work I've done and level I'm at. As a woman, that title simply opens doors.

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership).

But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.

Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.
