Hello Fishes,

Needed your POVs...

I am in TCS since Jul19 as a fresher... my experience so far is good...though as an ETL developer my work has become monotonous...I cleared DCA last year and getting a decent salary...I have already done couple of Associate level Azure Certifications...

I have to look after my parents and the only thing I fear is if I switch...I won't be able to take care of them...as WLB would be screwed...

I'm not sure whether I should switch or not?

Pls help 🙏🏾

The question is:
1. Do you want a better profile?
If there is no internal opening , then you would have to go out of your current company.

2. Why do you think your WLB will be screwed? Do you have the ideal 9-5 in TCS? If yes, then for sure not a lot of good paying companies would give you this timing because 9-5 is history in most cases

Go for a switch if you want a good salary, WLB is a myth, if it is required by an organization then you will have to work and compromise.

I was also in the same boat, wanted to stay in TCS because I cleared DCA and was getting decent amount for working 2hrs on average each day and getting lot of time for family. Once WFH is over and expenses start shooting up then you'll realise that this amount is not enough, on top of that the negligible hike will make you feel like you are not growing. Now wlb is there but once you become a senior member or lead your work load will increase but the salary will not increase in that proportion. My ex lead in TCS is 10+ yoe, she too stayed in TCS with less salary for wlb but now she is working 10-12 hrs everyday with below market pay because she cannot switch anywhere else.
Make the switch when you still have time and skills, if you get stagnated then you'll work for long hours with less pay

I am continuously learning and doing external certifications...so I am not fully in my comfort zone...so far I have good repo with my managers...but I'm not sure is it right for me or my career in the long run??

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
