Hi Fishes,
I see lot of hate for Tcs, Infosys for low pay .I come from a lower middle class family living in a very small house (kind of 4 people in 1.5bhk). I have seen struggle and money problems in life. Honestly ,I am happy with my salary in Infosys and also got offer from TCS with 20lpa. I Thank God for what I am today and I am grateful to these companies as I can support my family and help them live a better life. Just sharing my honest thought,feel free to comment or Dm.

Be real. A job at any of these companies will keep you lower middle classes forever. Is that why you work hard? Is that why you did engineering?

Also, 20L today is not much. Please check how much you need to save for basic things like a house, retirement savings, kid's education, healthcare for aging parents.

I feel our needs have increased a lot and it keeps on increasing with pay rise. And due to social media there is a constant comparison with peers and artificial greed injected. Inflation is a fact but these extra needs are also a fact.

I'm also from middel class family and started with 30k/month. At that salary I was very happy and satisfied.

I switched few companies and now even lakh/month feels lesser. Greed have no limits and it increases with more you get and also with family responsibilities.

I have spent 6+ years at TCS and started my career there. And my salary was the same as YOE. There should not be any single reason to praise TCS.
Offer that you are getting more than expected from TCS as per your YOE.
The problem of these companies is that they ignore their existing employee salaries, and are ready to hire with high salaries from outside.

What an irony,
Started career at TCS, spent 6+years , was getting 6 LPA.
Now for the same position (ITA) my ex colleague joined TCS this month with 20LPA. 😁😁😁

Any amount of salary is insufficient for greedy minded people and luxurious materialistic life. You are happy with what you have and what you achieved and that is what matters. People came from rich background will never understand this.

You don't know shit. Why are companies like TCS, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, HCL, Accenture, KPMG, EY, LTI MindTree always making profits like anything ? And their pays same as what they used to give 20 or 25 years ago

People who are hating tcs and Infosys have completely different reasons than what you mentioned.

One of the many is , their appraisals. They will give you below inflation percentage appraisal. Now if you don't want to blame company and look for a switch, here also they have 3 months of notice period which will again damage the job switching.

Now if you say like lets forget about the job switch and forget about appraisal because you are already getting what you require to survive and focus on the existing job itself, here also tcs has very rigid projects which will swallow every ounce of your energy. For the work they are expecting us to do ,their appraisals won't match with that.

Now if you say like do hard work for those rigid projects,it will benefit for your career only. Here also they give you very stupid projects with old tech which no other companies are looking for. So the hard work you are doing is not helping you gain any good knowledge which will grow your career.

So what's the point of living happily currently with what you have, knowing that happy time won't stay for long.

Tcs and Infosys and etc some MNC's are good for people who are looking for experience before going to higher studies or people who just want to tell their relatives or for marriage even though they have generational wealth or for a person who dont have any family responsibilities and all the salary he or she is getting will be used for his or her own needs.

Yes absolutely correct, but not everyone can shift to Bengaluru or Hyderabad for opportunities. As per my experience, majority of IT folks are average talents and they have family pressure. Out of 10 ,2 will join product company,rest will be in infy,tcs,cts,etc. Now these 8 folks will be unhappy seeing that 2 person.Out of 8,2 will go to onsite,2 will upskill and switch and rest 4 will stay back and rant about salary,company and badluck.
My way is to upskill and switch and not wait for hikes. I only care about my tech stack and package ,happy being in service ,bcz product based above my aukaat.

how does TCS and Infosys paying low and people criticising it, have anything to do with your household conditions ? If you work hard, you can get more than this. There are lot of companies which pay 20 lpa to freshers, even there you can support family and help them live a better life.
Eventually its what you want to settle for.

The issue with me is, I was at TCS for nearly 2 years. Worked on 2 projects, the company paid me 7% of what the client was paying for me, and I was still cheaper than their US counterparts.

If I work for the client directly FROM INDIA, I would obviously cover the gap these companies are looting from the middle.

TCS has a good reputation for collecting and keeping a good workforce for cheap, all the reasons people hog towards it, if you can grow well in the company, then kudos to you brother but this was just insanely pre colonial like.

What role you have in TCS. If they are offering 20lpa that means it isn't a small role.

When you achieve a certain degree of dream, then you will want to get better, and dream higher. When you see monetary problems, then, you will want to join any company. But, once you get settled with money, then you will want to get better than yesterday.

Without this prosperous mindset, life has no meaning. Even if you want to do nothing or bare minimum and settle, it is still more than what you wanted yesterday. Majority of the Indian companies lack this level of future vision. They dont care how to take India forward. Or push a tech to new heights. They just want to squeeze money without effort. That is why the hate against these service based.

It is good to hear. My story is different, i got selected for team lead in TCS and received mail for documentation and i did it and then no response from HR's end. I called they said we are waiting from business team communication about your joining procedure. I called after 2 weeks they said company is focusing on hiring associates (which will go 2 months approx) so after that we will receive the communication and will start with the procedure. I did not receive any communication after 2 months so called HR, he said may be company got candidate internally and or or they might have kept you in buffer so that when requirement comes will contact you.
How come they can do this. I just don't get it.

You won't understand unless you know the your real worth of your skillset and knowledge.

Author, wait till you get married and have kids and understand life better. It is good that you are satisfied with what you have. However, once you understand life more, you will realise that no one can escape fate, but at the same time, if your fate has a lot of crying, it is better to cry in a mansion rather than a hut!

I am married for around 1year now. It is an arranged marriage.Before marriage I told my in laws and wife that I can lose my job next day itself so don't expect me to buy house/flat/car or take any loans for that. SHE still married me without any expectations and till date we are happy . Although before her many women and their families rejected me or asked to buy a flat and move out.
