Hello friends
We are hiring.....
I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy

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’d be treating this as a red flag. If they’re going against their own documented benefits, what does that say about how they handle other policies? I once accepted an offer like that and ended up constantly fighting for things that were supposedly "standard." It wore me out. The salary was great, but the trust was gone.
Ask for a bonus to cover costs- relo is super expensive but if they want you there they will sweeten the pot- a bonus is easy for them
Agreed. Request a signing bonus.
It’s not a great look for them if it’s called out in their benefits, but I highly doubt this is a standard benefit on every contract (such as PTO, salary, or healthcare). If the company has multiple locations, the benefit is likely to be more frequently used for internal moves.
Otherwise, it’s up to you in terms of what your situation is. If I was single without a mortgage, I would probably just load a truck up and get going. But I have 2 kids and a 2.75% APR on my mortgage - if I need to relocate, I would need a significant package to handle the cost of living difference and to ease the situation for my kids.

I didn't get relocation costs to move 1,100 miles the first time I got a major pay raise, no moving costs to move 700 miles the second time, and I got a mere $5k to move 1,700 miles the third time. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
All 3 moves were in the name of career advancement, and I managed to 8x my income, each move, each time better positioning me for the next opportunity.
That said, it's a huge red flag if they offered and then rescinded paying for relocation, I would want to dig into that a bit more before accepting. Best case is that they decided to offer the top of the range, leaving no budget for a lump sum. Worst case is you don't get a clear answer and have to go based on your gut feel of how the entire process went.
If they increased your salary, there may be a wash there in "net compensation", but if they aren't explaining it to you, then I agree it's a red flag from the communication angle at a minimum.
I've never, in 20+ years, backed out on a candidate's relo, but I admit I may need to decrease it a bit if the salary + relo is out of the budget range. In any situation, being transparent with the candidate is critical and is an indicator of future communication. You need to decide how important that is to you compared to the great pay that you are attracted to.
I took a job that required relocation, but didn’t pay for it, because of a 40% pay hike. But honestly, we’d wanted to move our family to that city anyway, so it was worth it to me. But I knew from early on that relo wasn’t included, so not quite the same situation.
But I agree, huge red flag if they don’t follow their own policy.
I'd have to ask if you have that in written form on the offer letter? If you do, they are legally on the hook for it as that is a legally binding contractual obligation.
They need to clear up where the miscommunication was about relocation. I relocated for a job about a year ago and it was one issue to another from what they had told me before moving. The location was where I wanted to be though so I didn’t pay much attention. Only made it 3 months before I got out of there. If the salary works for you and puts you in a better place, it's still worth it, as long as everything else looks good.
Red flag us right . Every thing said and done, integrity or the lack thereof is the only thing that you have or have not. That goes for your possible future employer also it's a two-way street. stick by what you say. If these folks are already backpedaling I'll be very cautious and look at a very closely. Just saying.
Great red flag. If they cannot stick with the agreement then maybe they are trying to convince you to quit, so that it will look like its your decision even if its them that initiates this conflict.
I experienced this with GM. They turned down my negotiation, I turned down their offer. Approximately one year later, GM eliminated the role.
I was in a similar situation. My position wasn’t available for relocation. the policy that I read if you’re an internal employee and they ask you to move they’ll pay and help but not new employees, so I told the hiring manager I was expecting relocation costs. Is there anything else you can do?and they offered either a small one time bonus or an increase on my base salary, so I took that
Also just make sure that the raise is really that - as in are you moving from a LCOL city to a HCOL - the raise will be eaten up by higher costs.
I relocated in 2010. It was marked as covered. I barely got half of costs back. Companies are slimy when it comes to relocating costs. They usually have a pre-approved list and any period of a deviation gives them grounds to say no. Ask for higher base pay or stock options.
I sold everything I had. Stuck the rest in a car and just drove across country. Figured gas is what it is. Took what I could get from the relocating budget they burned me on.
Worked for them two years and got a 15k offer with better hours from company in the same city.
Decide if relocating is worth it to you.
Are signing bonuses a "thing" anymore? And if it still is a good negotiation option, realistically, could you get it Day one and all of it or is it standard to be paid over a period of time. There is no relocation or special situation. Thanks.
Did we get a written offer? We could send it back with the stipulation of a certain amount the company would cover. I am only making a guess here this sound like we are in the negotiation phase of the offer and it is a game.
Huge red flag. Don't accept the position unless they pay the relocation costs. And take a look at the cost of living in your existing city and new one. If the new one has a higher cost of living make sure you get your wages adjusted.
