I have been working in TCS for the past couple of years. Im about to complete 3 years on this organisation. Financially there has been literally no growth. The in-hand amount I receive is more or less the same amount from the first month of joining this company, in-fact being awarded with A band for the last 2 years and a rating of 4.5/5 on my first year. Im thinking of resigning and looking for better opportunities and most orgs dont want a guy having 90days NP.
Please share your thoughts🙂

I know it's dauting to resign when you do not have an offer in hand.

Let's do an analysis of your current situation:

Pros:
1.Works in TCS, so your current ctc would not be high.. Even if you ask for 100℅ hike another company can easily afford hiring you.

2. TCS brand does have it's benefits.


Cons based on asssumptions:
1. You have worked in a technology which is either very common or out of date.
Mitigation action:You got to do some certifications.
2. Notice period: 3months. Why do you think companies like TCS have 3 month NP. It's a trap which only the brave can attempt to ignore. This is basically exploitative.
Unless you are a gem and able to reflect this on your resume, no recruiter will even spit on you due to this NP. That's what TCS wants.


Mitigation action:No option but to take the plunge.
I did it and it was the best decision of my life. You are quite young and should be able to afford taking risk.

Dont think notice period as a hurdle. Think notice period as the buffer zone between employment and unemployment.

In those 3 months, you can spend time care free chasing butterflies or you could learn new stuff around your desired role...

I chose the first one and still managed to get a better job.. In fact much better job and that too remote bro...

At the end of the day you are responsible for the problems in your life.

Do you have the guts and the talent to match those guts??

I have been working as a cloud engineer for the past 3 months, specialised on Azure. I also have dome experience ok devops activities but not in extreme depth.

I will suggest not to resign without an offer in hand. The job scene is not too good outside. A good company will always wait during the NP. We (in TCS) too wait for good candidates. I will definitely recommend to look out for a better job although if you are looking for onsite I can help. Feel free to reach out to me. You would know how to find me in TCS.

Hi,

Thank you!

How will you be able to help with on-site if am into it. In my current project they are only sending experienced folks(>10yoe). Also, I have heard multiple folks saying that TCS has some budget restrictions on onsite. They are not sending anyone until or unless it is that necessary.

I will also complete my 3 yrs in june in tcs
Best way to avoid np is to go on bench ask for release in your current project if possible
I totally get this that most company’s HR says we
Will get back to you once they hear 90 days np
So best is stay on bench and if you get projects calls
Say i am not interested in this tech
Basically time pass kro unka
I was on bench for three months i prepared for interviews and once i got one offer i resigned

Tcs gave me release in just ten days
If you were working on good tech
You will def get around 200%hike
Or else take risk

It’s still better than staying in tcs🥲😜
Anyways good luck for your future

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
