Hi all,

I recently started a new role in a new department. I have a bunch of PTO accrued from my previous role and had planned a vacation for later this year. The vacation would take place right at the 6 month mark into the new job and is planned to be 3 weeks long. Unfortunately, I didn’t think to mention this to the manager prior to starting the role. Are these vacation plans acceptable at all or am I ruining my first impression with the new team? (FYI: We get 20 vacation days annually)

Depends on the manager and whether you’re based in AMER or EMEA or APAC. It’s more expected to take one long vacay in EMEA for ex. Maybe ask your boss without pretext “if I wanted to use some of my PTO for a three week vacation, when would you feel it was acceptable?” And when he answers you can either say “good because I had one scheduled in six months that I’d love to take” or “ok I had one planned in six months that it sounds like I should delay.” It shows transparency and you get the real answer.

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.

I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.

Please let me know your inputs .

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.
