For Glasgow it’s just about sufficient. You won’t be able to enjoy your life to the fullest. To put that in perspective, it’s equivalent to 25 LPA in India if Glasgow is the location. For London, it will be around 20 LPA.

Savings - it depends on your individual expenses such as the apartment size and area, monthly liabilities here in UK as well as back home in India, schooling for your child, etc.

One thing I can suggest you though - whatever savings you are left with after all your expenses, invest all in India, don’t invest a single penny here in UK. Investing in UK doesn’t make sense from any view point:
A. It won’t yield even 10% of the returns you’d make in India - for short term as well as for long term. The economic outlook of UK is worst on short as well as on long term.
B. you already pay 40% of your income as income tax plus NI insurance every month (totalling almost 50% of your income) to this country and in return get no service that’s worth the money you pay. Health service is seriously ill, inflation is high as hell, energy bills are on rise. It makes no sense investing more money here.

Instead, invest in India, make india prosperous as India is the country you’d want to move back to after a few years - for yourself and your children too.

Anyone working in dxc in oracle hcm?

3 years of experience as a corporate lawyer.
Expecting an offer from both Deloitte India and Capgemini.
Deloitte India - Senior Consultant
Capgemini - Associate Consultant

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.

Am I on the right track?

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
