Staying in same company for 14 years and still you are getting around 50 LPA. Which service based company in India is offering that much hike. Generally companies like TCS, HCL etc gives around 25 to 30 LPA and even long timers due to less hikes per year are getting less than 20 LPA. In current job market if you stick with 50 LPA difficult to get offers. Many companies did layoff and doing layoffs so more number of highly skilled people already looking for jobs. Even client interviews are very tough with 2 or 3 levels now a days.

People often receive offers from outside and negotiate their current salary. Many service-based companies offer this package to individuals with potential and in senior roles.

Hope you get one. Once you get be empathetic about others. Most Indians are unnecessarily arrogant and unsympathetic

For that experience, i am pretty sure you will find a job. Try optimising your resume and start asking for referral. All the best. Also tech stack matters

It's really tough to switch after 20+ yoe. Best way I know of - is referrals from people you have previously worked with. Try principal or IC roles in product firms. Good luck.

I have 12 years of experience and same thing happening with me as well and I am also on bench 😌 lets see how things will go

I have over 10 years of experience as a Senior Civil / Architectural Draughtsman in the UAE, along with 4 years of experience in India. I recently returned to India after my previous company underwent downsizing, and I am currently looking for a new opportunity.

My skills include:

- AutoCAD
- Revit Architecture
- Architectural drafting
- Civil drafting
- BIM fundamentals
- Preparation of construction drawings, shop drawings, and as-built drawings

I am actively looking for opportunities in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, or anywhere in India, and I am also open to opportunities in the UAE or GCC.

If anyone knows of any openings or can refer me to a suitable position, I would be sincerely grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and I appreciate any help or guidance.

Thank you.

Frankly speaking your predicament is the exact indication why we as country lack in innovation. . This is part if ageism, which is plaguing India and gov don't have any structure to address it like development country neither mentality of society to help you out.
