How do you handle wage concerns from employees who feel underpaid compared to their peers? I often conduct salary comparisons and provide data to justify our pay structures, but it doesn’t seem to fully satisfy their worries. What effective strategies have you implemented to address these concerns and promote fairness?

The data thing doesn't work because data isn't what they're upset about. They already know the number. What they want to know is whether you think they're worth more. Those are two completely different conversations.

As a rule we don't engage in conversations with someone about what another person is paid. If people want to compare salaries, that's fine, but we aren't going to give someone a raise because someone else makes more. The salaries are set by various criteria, and anyone working here has been offered their salary and were agreeable to the offer before they began their job. We'll explain things to some extent, but conversations like that generally leave people unsatisfied.

I've got an offer from Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS). They are offering 20 LPA fixed.
Currently CTC = 14 LPA (Fixed + Variable)

Should I make the move or wait for a year to bag a better offer (maybe 25+)?
The HR said I'm getting 20 cause of less YOE

Also, what's the WLB and work in OFSS?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
