Hello Fishes,

I'm a 2+ yoe emp in TCS...my ctc was at 4.26 lpa...
So I applied for jobs...got offers from KPMG and LTI...but I wasn't able to get >7lpa...After 2 mnth of NP, luckily cleared DCA within TCS and my ctc upgraded to 7.95lpa...I felt satisfied and so withdrew my papers...Now I am seeing my friends getting 10+lpa for same exp with same IQ...I didn't want to involve in such a rat race but still getting depressed over this...any tips to retain back my peace of mind?
Thank u🥺🙏

You are unhappy because your friends got 10+ .When you will earn 15 , they will earn 20 and when you will earn 20 they will 25 an so on. Peace is in your mind.
Ideally, one should switch a company if he/she is having financial crunch, low learning level, bad manager or work or some personal issue to cope with work. But, these days people switch just because there friends/relatives earn more. DONT RUIN YOUR LIFE WITH COMPARISON. You will always be unsatisfied and unhappy. IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE HAPPY WITH 7lpa then just enjoy with that.Try to be WEALTHY NOT RICH

Let me clear here, money not equals to peace of mind. Peace comes from within. Switch is a different aspect of indian IT industry. But remember peace does not comes with money. No amount can give you peace. Always be happy with what you have but keep striving for better.

1 yr ago in i was at 3.8lpa used to think how will it feel to get earn 60k per month.
Now at 18lpa , trying to be at peace but still think how will it feel to earn 3lk pr month 😂. We can never be satisfied but can try to be at peace with what we have in hand

You are doing good as per your experience. Stop listening to people's salary numbers. You have just started. Your focus should be more on learning. I know it does feel bad, but there will always be someone earning more than you. Stop comparing, especially if you are satisfied with your work. You will get lots of opportunities to get a better paycheck when you have excelled in your skills.

Hellooo fishes,

My experience is 8.5 in tcs and my package is 6.5lakhs. I have resigned tcs as I got selected in other organisation. But now Tcs have conducted a DCA interview and I got selected in that now they offered me 12lakhs. But with some rules, it's a kind of incentives they are telling, and in the future if I get C or D band this incentive will be discontinued itseems....

I am in a big dialama what to do now... Step out of tcs or stay here.

My new org work location is bangalore. And I want to work in Hyderabad. Becoz of this reason I am thinking so much. Please help me out fishes...

Thank you...

Don't bother these small stuffs , you are in initial stage of your career, just like me,and believe me I'm stuck in a same situation so I understand. Don't feel down if your friends getting more than you just Focus on improving yourself, think like by next year I'll crack one product based company and I'll never stop growing, for now focus on developing your skills.
Congratulations and good luck.

uplifting

If you are satisfied with your work and learning then don't think about it. Just work for one more year and then switch and target minimum 100% hike on first switch

helpful

If you are stuck in this rat race then you will never be satisfied with whatever you are earning bro.

like

Try getting a counter offer from other company and ask TCS to make your DCa component into basic pay. Because, with DCA your package won't change. You will be given a salary component which would make your overall CTC to 7.95 LPA. So, when you make any future switch it would badly effect your Hike negotiations in new company.

helpful

My advice for you is to please never look into how much others are getting payed everyone has different liabilities and different life stories , and it will be always frustrating for one getting known about others salary, Focus on what you have, if you can create DCA successfully then think of what other wonders you can create. All the very best!!

uplifting

Never compare salaries otherwise one can never be satisfied, reason is there is always someone getting more than you.
Important thing is jobs are not actually meant to switch just for increasing the salary. Staying more and building the trust is also important. This helps you for lead/manager roles in future.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
