Dear fishes, recently I was interviewed for lead position by two good product based companies and I cleared all the rounds, but both HRs are saying, you are technically good so we can offer you senior software engineer position not the lead position.

For senior software position, I will get Max 15% hike only.

For lead position, I will get around 30% to 40% hike.

CCTC : 18 LPA
Tech : Quality assurance lead (automation + functional + performance testing)

How to deal with this situation?

Any hike less than 30% is of no use. If you are not getting offers you can accept the one's which are less but use it as a base to negotiate higher with other companies. A hike should be atleast 30% for general tax slabs(10/20%) and 50% if you fall in 30% tax bracket for the money to be actually making a difference in your take home.

Trying to apply for another position at the same company but my boss told me explicitly that if they find out people on our team are looking for other jobs, they will stop giving that person raises, promotions, bonuses, & access to opportunities.

Was hoping to interview before having to tell my manager that I am applying. Ideas?

In taking over our strat dept I’m overhauling our recruitment plan with HR, but curious to hear opinions on interview exercises for mid and senior level folks.

Anyone employ exercises or assignments in recruitment that can share inspiration?

Should I switch to Android or can I stay with iPhone only? I feel it’ll be nice to have a change in the UX, but hopefully the change shouldn’t be bad so that I’ll regret.

If Android, suggest a few good phones, that’ll be a fair replacement for iPhone.

If iPhone, should I go for iPhone 13 or 13 Mini. I like the compact size with mini, but the battery capacity not great.
