How soon is too soon to bounce? Only a few months in and while I enjoy my company, the salary is low compared to other places. Internal raises are not going to happen so the only way to increase my salary would be to jump somewhere else. I don't want to burn a bridge though

If it's too low, why did you accept to begin with?

If you jump somewhere else, and you find other people getting raises elsewhere, are you going to leave again?

You can certainly leave after a few months, but there's only so many times you can do that.

Accepted because I was transitioning from a different field and was just really grateful for the opportunity. Still am. Definitely not a job hopper. I want to stay and grow with a company. I just realize my opportunities will be limited here

If you’re unhappy leave. It’s gong to benefit anybody.
Burning bridges is how you leave. Give enough notice, transition work and don’t leave during a go-live and you’ll be fine.

Same story here… I feel like after about a year I could jump to a bigger firm for more $

Hi,
I am done with all round of TCS even started with a negotiation round too. First call HR said we can give you 16lpa including variables. I have tried to go for a fixed 16lpa. And now she says Management only afford 12lpa. Even at the same time she says you deserve 14-15lpa fixed as per market, the mangt can only afford 12lpa. Back to back call from HR. Doc verification started what it means? They have a good budget as far as I know from consultancy.

Ex:6 BA current CTC 8.5.
Please suggest.
