Higher salary

Work life balance i control myself, not the company

WLB 100%. What good is a higher salary if you have no time to spend it? I just feel like our time on earth is so limited that we should enjoy it while we can.

Choose based on your priority

higher salary anyday

higher salary always

Work life balance we have to take care of ...use hr policies to themselves ....go for higher salary and secured job

Higher salary is something you can't control, but WLB is something you have total control over. So I would choose salary

Wlb dependes on project to project. Sometime you stick in project where you have to work for 12 hrs

Hi fishes, Need your help in deciding.
I've 2 offers. One from
Goldman Sachs
for Analyst and other from Amazon for
SDE1. They both asked me for expected CTC.
For both I quoted 20lpa fixed and discussion is going on.
What do you think which figure should I agree on if they offer a counter. And which of the two you think is better to join considering brand value and career progression.
YoE: 6 months
CCTC: 13lpa

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

Hi Fishes,
This is my second job with CTC of 8.2 for the profile of Business Analyst - I'm a tier 2 MBA (finance and analytics)
YOE - 1.6 years

I sense being underpaid.
Im in the final round of the interview with two new firms.. should I say my expected is 12lacs or 14 lacs (i think a jump from 8.5 to 14 could be too much)? I eventually want to drive the number up to 15lacs.
