dont know about you bro but i got what i wanted and till now i have no complains. Lets see what the future holds ... Fingers crossed

I made the mistake of valuing brand over work. Focus on quality of work in your early career rather than the brand. You will eventually get hired into good brands because of the knowledge you have gained working in a startup/mid sized company.

Depends with brand what are you comparing. Good work beats everything and has the highest position.

How about Citiustech as a brand ?
Lately been hearing about it.

Yes .. Will you trust a person who is working at Google vs who works in say Cognizant / Wipro ?

Brand name matters and in some companies like Accenture consulting/ Wells Fargo etc, the hike offered to you depends on the company you come from.

Say someone from Infosys or tcs will be offered only 20-30% hike while those from tier 1 companies 50-60% hike

Work and profile matters more

No. Afterall, 90% weightage is given to your skills and interview performance while applying for jobs. And, ofcourse if you are really doing great things in a brand company then only it is justified. Even if the company is highly popular, no point working there if it is a legacy technology stack.

Yes. It matters

I’m my partners only associate and I went on parental leave two weeks ago. I feel horrible for leaving him to handle our cases alone, but am trying to focus on my wife and new baby.

Will i face any challenges and would I be asked to serve entire 60 days notice?

Tip while joining a big organization virtually:

Request phone number of people you meet during induction and Create a whatsapp group.

In the initial days everything is new and you would be running pillar to post to figure how to do mundane task like filling timesheet, log in credentials, vpn access, raising service desk tickets and so many more things.

In large organisations, while working virtually we don't have right point of contacts to get our queries resolved. This whtsapp grp will help
