Flying from where to where?

NYC to CCU (Kolkata)

I’d look into Lufthansa (through Aeroplan or UA) or Air France (Amex transfer instead of using Skypesos). Emirates/Etihad definitely worth looking into as well but I’m not well versed on the current easiest ways to use miles on them. Looks like nobody flies directly to CCU from the West though, so you could always consider Singapore or Cathay

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
