Only Dropbox and emergency. Even emergency is not really getting approved now

Thank you M1. I am also trying to figure out what’s the earliest dropbox appointment date (approximately) in Mumbai. Unfortunately this information is visible only after you pay up the fees . My travel depends on when the appointment is available, so any leads/guidance would be helpful.

Hi Fishes,

I am working as a JL6 employee (8 years of IT exp) in Infy with an approx CTC of 17.5 lpa (including allowances). I have a got a verbal offer from TCS for Rapid Automation Lead (C3A band) in the CoE team with 50% hike on my current CTC. Though I have asked for 60% hike, HR said she will get back to me on my ask. Now, there is a possibility that Infy might initiate UK visa for me in the upcoming months which would be ICT visa only. Just wanted your thoughts on TCS' work culture etc.
