Feeling a bit in the dark about our company's direction lately. Seems like decisions are made in a black box. How do you all stay in the loop at your startups? Any tips for getting more insight into the company's plans?

What is meant by black box?

In my company the ceo and other leaders conduct regular townhall meetings where we can ask questions. So its a good place to ask questions. Although if they want to hide something they absolutely can, but in this case they have to be answerable at least.

Have you tried setting up a one-on-one with your manager or a team lead? In my experience, direct conversations can sometimes shed light on the broader vision and upcoming projects. It's all about asking the right questions.

Totally get where you're coming from. What worked for me was joining cross-functional meetings whenever possible. It's surprising how much you can learn about the company's direction from discussions that aren't directly related to your day-to-day tasks.

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.
