Hi everyone, I need some advice. My current CTC is X with a 90-day notice. I got an offer from ThoughtWorks but only with a 10% hike due to budget limits. If I resign now, I’ll lose my December variable pay of ₹3 lakhs and the increment as well. I’m confused if it makes sense to move just for the brand name thoughtwork with a small hike or stay and wait. Would really appreciate your suggestions as this is going over my head right now. Should i resign now or wait for some other offer . 6yr exp

DO NOT resign immediately.

Instead:

Try to delay or negotiate ThoughtWorks joining

Explore other interviews in parallel

Reassess in 4–6 weeks

A 10% hike with a ₹3L loss doesn’t make financial sense unless there’s strong non-monetary value (e.g., job satisfaction, long-term vision, dream company status).

Within last 30-40 days of notice period you will get good amount of calls from many good companies. I am in my last 35-40 days of NP and I can assure you this.

Overall it is upto your choice. Because none of my target companies were willing to accept 90 days NP.

It depends. I got only 12% hike in my first offer and later during NP, nobody offered me beyond 15% hike (this was by some consultancy companies). Even the product companies couldn’t offer more than what was offered before. So better to wait for 1-2 months and then check the market conditions again.

Thanks for valuable suggestion

Please don't join TW with just 10% hike .
Brand name of TW is good , but not great enough to join with this hike.

Your best bet is try for other offers during notice period.
Though, market is not superb at the moment.
You might try in January, atleast then there will more job openings.

Also, it'll be better if you take first offer for atleast 40% hike and then subsequent offers for 10% more on top of offer this way you'll reach good amount
.
At the moment it's a gamble but upto you if you want to go ahead and take some chances .

If you could share cctc , offered , tech stack etc , folks might provide better tips.

- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?

I am associated with an investment bank in mumbai for 11 years and total exp 13. I have two interview going on one in mumbai and second in bengaluru, almost last rounds. How much hike should i expect frm both of them. My current fixed is 18lpa

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
