Hi everyone,
I need some advice. I have 6.6 years of experience as an Automation Engineer and currently have two offers:

• TCS – ₹27 LPA CTC
• Virtusa – ₹27.5 LPA CTC + ₹2 LPA joining bonus

Could you please share your thoughts on which company would be a better choice in terms of career growth, work culture, and long-term opportunities?

Thanks in advance!

As a tcser I would suggest u never join tcs I am sure if u join at 27 lpa in TCS even after next 4 years u won't reach 30 lpa because know that after u join next 2 years no hike due to heavy package they offered u and later on they might give you very lower bands even if u perform super well also so the hike won't be much same happened to me 6.6 years experience working in TCS from 4 years with no hike and struck with 9 lpa with same tech stack java selenium playwright.....
I'm very shocked to know ur getting 27

Only thing good here is for automation testing you have thousands of projects good learning complete automtion no maanual testing ....

TCS considering job security and workload

funnylikesmart

I know layoff hurts it doesn't check either u r skilled or not but it's better to die in lamborghini than to die in alto.if u don't upskill u ll be a part of layoff.if u r brilliant and then u get layoff than u had atleast 5 time more money than tcs to survive nd u ll get opportunity in1-6 month to join any top tier company .people keep crying I m not getting call .i m looking for job from 15 dec nd I get 3 opportunity to interview because I make resume according to company requirements whatever I m not aware i studied in a week if not get selected I know what is market currently looking for tech so just upskill if u sit in one company for 10 year u can't upskill yourself because each year some new requirement comes in each tech like 2 year back I was asked about python docker kubernetes ansible ci/ cd now no company is interested in these questions because they know if u r 8+ experience u know this so now they ll ask different scenarios coding questions nd now ai integration in devops

I want to switch but wanted to know what would be decent hike in reputed or mid size org. I would not like to take into consideration the start up as they may pay quite high when compared to a large size organization.

18-20 L fixed is my analysis.
Please suggest.
