Hello Société Générale folks,
Looking for some honest advice. Considering an offer with SocGen B’lore for Specialist Software Engineer position with 5.5 years exp and into Tech service management. Could you please tell me a bit about following points?
- I see 25% of the compensation(5Lakhs) is Variable. Does company even pay 60% of it at the end of the year if you perform say 4/5 rating?
- What is an average annual hike that the firm gives?
- How is the work culture? Societe Generale

What's next after healthcare for you all?
I applied to a job opening on Accenture site on Nov. 16. Around Dec 16, my profile got rejected, without any calls or emails. I was told that I could apply only after 6 months. So, I replied on May 20th (6 months from Nov. 16). I got a message saying that the profile already exists. So, I waited for some more time and applied on June 18tg. This is the message I got [We already have this resume in our database which we received from you or some other sources] How long do I still need to wait?
I can relate

1 year 2 months. But it wasn’t a simple as that either. I had a specific idea on what I wanted out of my next firm coming from in house. The legal market for senior attorneys in the first half of 2025 was crushed. The firms I did get traction with I wasn’t a fan of. Then this past November, magic happened and now I’m at my ideal place. It had its tough, question everything moments - that’s for sure. Good part was, I still had my job while I was doing this.
You’re complaining about “weeks”?!
I started looking Nov. 1. Accepted a position mid Dec. Now waiting on conflicts.
As an associate, firm to firm 3-4 months. Firm to in-house about a year, but I have a super niche practice.
Weeks is nothing. Get comfortable, because unless you have a solid network that can land you a job, you're going to be at it for awhile. It took me 7 months, and that seems fairly standard currently.
One of my business professors once said everyone should aim to have savings for 12-18 months, which is to cover the time of a potential job less and the time needed to find a job in this society
I’ve been looking for about 6 months and have had a few interviews, but nothing has panned out quite yet. Niche practice and more senior, so I’m told it takes longer! I’m super unhappy where I am so not easy, but definitely think it’s more important to be picky / move to the right place.
From tipping point to starting the new job? 10 months, but I have a niche practice area.
I think it took me about 6 months of seriously interviewing and applying this summer.
6-7 months, using a single recruiter. But I was targeting a specific city, specific practice area, and AmLaw200.
I would give about 3-6 months
2 years
This is insane!
Almost a year and a half. I also gave up for a while [and stopped looking at LinkedIn, as it is a bot cesspool locally], so I missed when the job I got was originally posted a few months before they reposted through an agency. I am in a mid-sized market.
I’ve been looking for a year and 4 months….but only for remote in-house roles. I feel like law firms are easier
