Larsen & Toubro Infotech Is it good time to join Cognizant now for Coimbatore location considering too much attrition in recent times along with many policy changes and do they have enough projects or will there be any chance of layoffs if we don't find any projects for our skill(Tableau in my case)? I have another offer with LTI, Coimbatore for same salary but i prefer CTS more than LNT. Cognizant Larsen & Toubro Infotech
I have some doubt regarding pf contribution... Say for example.. 12% of my base salary is 600 which gets deducted from my salary.. on the flip side.. the company has to contribute 600 to my pf (which is actually deducted from my salary only like already part of CTC)?. So my question again is that.. the company contributes 600 as well? PwC

My path to $150+ in my 30s in the Midwest (Ohio) was becoming a technical expert (design, application, estimating, project execution, serviceability, lifecycle management) as well as having a working knowledge of business management.
I have a large in-industry network and a reputation for getting things done, which has lead to competing offers each time I have made it known that I was open to a move.
I was recently working at Los Alamos National Laboratory and they pay quite a bit for an engineer level 3 for nuclear facilities positions. The only difficulty is the area is a little expensive and the commute is hard at times if you don’t want to pay more to live closer
That is the rent pretty much every other low cost area now a days. Had to buy a small house to mitigate the loss by rent.
The challenge with your criteria is low to mid cost areas typically have the pay scales to match unfortunately. Not saying it’s impossible, just how the “market” is set up. It sucks that inflation never stops growing and our pay scales lag way behind.

Most would kill for $105k salary. But, in my opinion, if you are looking for +$140k salary in low to mid cost area, it would need to be a leadership type position. If you want to remain as an individual contributor, you would need to be in a specialized or subject matter expert.
I would also like this information, mechanical design engineer 8.5YOE in Indiana. I make about half the requested range and feel underpaid for the value I have brought and am bringing.
