Hi Sharks,

Can you share some real stories of making a switch from testing to development after 3-4 years experience in IT with the plan. I feel day by day it is getting difficult for me to switch. I am working in a shitty project where there is no growth.

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.
