Ya it’s absurd and HR won’t negotiate. And not for nothing I’m a valuable employee for a number of reasons. Now I’ve lost all respect and motivation. Sick of hearing justifications for a 16.5% cut. Its a life altering amount

That’s shit. I’d be looking for a new job ASAP. Not sure id quit until I had a new one though. Some money is better than none. Was their reason strictly because you moved to a lower cost of living city?

I’d tell them you are lowering your productivity also by the same percent 😂😂

Supposedly it’s based on wage market not COL. And yeah thats exactly my response. Its a sure fire way to lose motivated employees

Hi fishes!
I am having 5 yrs of experience in telecom(lte/5g) testing domain with 17lpa, recently i moved to devops team(internal movement) but they are using very basic tools, my query is can I now switch to other company within 1-2 yrs learning more tools like Aws, terraform in parallel as I am having 5+yrs of testing experience.

UBS If I had to move within the company to a different location , how does it work? For example if I move from low cost of living area to high cost of living area does the company re-evaluate the base salary within USA? Or do they come back and mention its your family requirement since your partner is located and you are moving ?Suggestions or experiences any !

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
