Hello Sharks, My HR interview is scheduled with an US MNC for one of the niche skills in MarTech space for an IT consultant role. May I know how much salary should I expect? I am expecting around 35 to 45 LPA My current CTC is 18 LPA and YOE 10 years. This is a fully remote position
Accenture Tata Consultancy Deloitte Adobe
I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?
I just hit $200k NW and it’s been 7 months since I made my post (link below) about hitting $100k NW in Dec ‘21.
I’m just mind-blown since it took me 2.5 years to get the first $100k and it’s snowballed from there. I’ve gone from $82.5k TC to $238k TC plus a $20k appreciation on a house I bought at the beginning of the year
Can’t really talk about finances with friends/family so this is the only place I can share milestones like this haha…we’ll see if I can hit $300k by EOY

I don’t think this is a troll post, but keep it civil all. I will report/remove any uncivil comments and/or suspend abusive posters and trolls from this bowl if necessary.
That said, I’ve found that people are back to not quarantining with COVID or other viruses and the norm again is coming to work sick. I strongly disagree with it and I am fortunate that my job lets us WFH or use sick days. But many jobs/managers/people didn’t learn anything from the pandemic and will be the first ones coughing and sneezing across the office, and expect you to do the same.
God forbid we just stay home for a few days or a week to avoid spreading contagion.
I’m glad you’re not my director lol. Having an actively contagious illness is a good reason to WFH. Why have someone mask all day making themselves and others uncomfortable if they’d be more productive from home for a couple days? If people on your team take advantage of WFH days, that’s a personnel issue, not a policy issue.
Guess working for Stan Davis is great compared to this firm. Maybe that is why he gets so many of Morgan and Morgan clients. So dies Mi hall Pence.
I want anyone sick with anything to WFH. I have no desire to be sick. Keep that sickness to yourself!!
You have PTO for sick days. Please use them. You will feel better sooner, and avoid spreading COVID.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with a manager like this. Don’t let their ignorance make you and your colleagues sick.

I don’t understand this entire situation. If you need to be out or wfh or whatever, you send an email saying that’s what you’re doing. (or you just do it, depending on your level/the office/etc). You don’t ask or wait for a colleague to tell you how to handle your own illness.

Yeah unfortunately there are jobs out there even for attorneys where they don’t have autonomy about when they are in the office. I’ve heard of attorneys that have to be in 5 days a week and would get into trouble with partners if they left at a reasonable hour, let alone earlier in the day or if they came and went as they pleased.
Can’t imagine treating an attorney like this, we’re professionals, not low level workers who need to be chained to a desk. We’re also adults so it’s crazy that I’d need permission to stay home sick. But I also would never stay at a job that treated me this way either.

I would prefer that someone sick with anything stay home so they don’t get others sick, but the fact that it’s covid that you’re sick with is totally irrelevant in 2025.
Not every cold or flu is associated with extreme lingering symptoms (long covid) from even mild cases either. So arguably the fact that it's Covid is meaningful although the flu kills people too. I have had several friends get long covid from a mild case and were unable to work for a year or more. Sounds like malingering you say? One of these persons had a great job with tenure and was a triathlete and went from that to unable to walk half a block due to severe exhaustion and this went on for years. The point is, you may have had it before and nothing terrible happened but that really means nothing.
It’s 2025 bro
Manager 2, I hope nothing but the best for you. Shame!
Self-test every morning and, if you’re testing positive, send an email saying “I’ve tested positive for COVID this morning and will be working from home.”
Perhaps but it makes for a good written record.
During the shut down in the spring/summer of 2020 i and another paralegal were deemed essential employees, which meant we had to be at the office every day. The building is a 23 story office building and the parking lot was empty until mid May, when people started trickling back. In June, my coworker was diagnosed with Covid19 and a few days later, I was diagnosed. 5 years later I am still suffering the long-term effects and will die from one of the side effects. I have pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis for which there is no cure. I continued to test positive until at some point in November, the managing partner changed his mind about me working from home and canceled the partners ruling that you could not return to work unless you had a negative test ... and there I was in 2020, minding my own damned business. I am beyond bitter but accepting my fate. No one really cares that much when it comes to business and the ever increasing value of the fifedom is the reason. Take care of yourself ... work from home ... they can't fire you for it
I'm very sorry that happened. This is my point exactly. It happened to several people i know although not in the context of unfairly being forced in to work while everyone else was hiding.

Excuse me?
If it is a serious case of COVID, try FML. If not, use sick days or PTO. Candidly, I don’t want employees to work at all when they are sick, whether it is in office or from home. That time needs to be spent getting better, not going to meetings and responding to emails. People tend to be less than half productive when they try to work when sick.
Well forget work from home. I was so sick I could not get up. The partner wanted me to do something by the end of the day. I told them, I can’t even stand up from bed. I offered my resignation. The firm accepted the resignation. Welcome to the new reality.
Good for you for drawing the boundary A5. Your career and life will be so much better for having done so!
The current information is to return to work 24 hours after your fever has gone.
Your mistake is that you did not ask to work from home!
Covid is not serious. Sip some tea and get back to work.
Yep had long COVID. It took a while to get back to my old self.
I get it. It is generally considered correct and a best practice to work from home if you have COVID-19, provided you are well enough to do so and your employer allows it. The priority is to stay home and away from others to prevent the spread of the virus. Maybe your manager wanted to be sure you could handle working from home?
