Does switching to a similar role at another firm typically create a delay for getting promoted? For example, Associate to Senior Associate on my current team almost always takes 2 years on the dot (give or take a month). If after 1 year I switched to a similar role at a competing firm, could I still expect to get promoted after another 1 year, or does switching firms usually cause it to take longer?

Why are you moving for a lateral? Wait and little bit and look for an early promotion. Not worth the risk

If you are at a less prestigious firm now, you will likely need to work the full promotion timetable.

Depends on if you’re going to a different practice area and typical promotion timelines

Usually takes longer. Best time to switch is when you’ve met the minimum bar for the role. E.g. If a role is 2-4 years experience, expect to have a similar promotion timeline as the person that got it with 2 years vs. you at 4 years.

The challenge of course is passing that minimum bar at the 2 year mark vs the 4 year mark.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?

Hi all,
Need some advice.
I got the highest offer from LnT worth 17, but I can try for some more comapnies and get higher offers.
But ,I also want to retain in capgemini if they match the package.
Should I stop interviews & approach my manager or should I wait for him to call me again ? He had already called once saying he would match the package.
Am I being too greedy if I ask for 18/19 to retain?Or should I just ask for 17 so that repport between me and my manager remains intact?
