For those of you that starter in a role taking phone calls from clients. What is the easier position or department in that case to transfer that does not required you to be attached to the phone 8-10 hours a day. Being on the phone all day is getting exhausting… Thanks!

I think it depends on your company and what they’re hiring internally for. I worked for a company where EVERYONE was required to be logged into a phone queue. Constant calls all day, I get that it’s exhausting. Easiest thing for me to do was transfer to a dept with a tad slower workload so I could actually do my work while managing the phone. Eventually took my skills to another firm because of burnout.

Totally agree with OS1. It really depends on the company. When I was still starting, my job was not to take calls but I spent most of my time answering calls. So you can't really tell based on the role/position.

There are really many positions you can transition into. I hated being on the phones as well. That was just a stepping stone to get me to the next place.

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.
