I think there’s a big pay disparity in my department but it’s a bit awkward to bring up in an office environment. How do you go about chatting to your coworkers about your pay?

I've never felt comfortable doing this myself. I know I should because I think salary transparency is a great thing, but it just feels so awkward. "Hey Jim, how's your day? Hey, how much are you making these days?"

Yeah I’m all for transparency but it’s so hard to bring it up!

I hate that pay isn’t a public topic, I think you just got to find a casual environment to talk about it in

I just feel like some people get so offended by the question but it benefits everyone else to know.

Maybe when you have a moment when it’s just you and one of your coworkers in the room then you could discuss- even better if you’re already close to them.

Yeah that’s very true. A nice quiet moment can really help.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
