I never knew that willing to join TCS will be such a haunting experience. My DOJ was 21st July,2025. Just few days prior I got the intimation from recruiter that onboarding will be further delayed without any clarity.
I had left my last organization on 1st July, hoping to get a good break before next assignment & also left few offers just because of the only hope to join TCS. Can we join hands and raise a complaint via IT employee union, Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES)

How much % raise in base salary would you accept in an offer to move from Gov to private?

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor. I was hired into this position in March, having been the first employee in this department. I really tried to get them to budge on salary, they did not, but shortly after accepting they gave the whole company a dollar raise.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Are salaries negotiable at performance review and/or promotion?

I am considering investing in an early stage startup. I know the founders for many years and are more like family to me. I will be investing $100K with a convertible note. What should be the equity that I should be drawing out? I don’t want to draw just the fair amount so the company is not at a disadvantage when they eventually raise money outside of F&F. They are valued at $5M by a startup accelerator and received $50K as part of being admitted into the program. Contd.
