Hi folks,
Can anyone confirm the variable policy of TechM, is it monthly or quarterly.
Heard from few folks that its was changed to quarterly and in offer letter nowhere its mentioned that its monthly or quarterly.simply said applicable as per variable policy.
Any folks recently joined and received salary please confirm it.
Thank you

TCS is the worst company one can be in.
Cheap mindset management cares more about timesheet,wfo,forceful mandatory trainings,imposing strict restrictions on laptop,access to personal docs only via vpn,no employee well being no salary hikes nth at all.90% projects filled with freshers coz they cost less.No WLB for good dedicated hard working employees as they are punished with more and more work, leaves rewards mostly for people who don’t work.But no issues kyunki job security hai 😂
37 / 13 years / 215K / PDX

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

Keep yourself involved in technical decisions and understand how solutions are architected. You can also keep your scripting skills sharp by doing analytics on your product with whatever your language of choice is. As long as you understand how to build things for scale, you should be fine
At a certain point engineering managers aren’t coding all the time either. The bigger thing to look out for is how talented your engineering team is and how technical and data-driven the rest of the product org is
I second that. I use Python or R at any given chance even when I could use something more basic
Well, my thought is that you are already no longer an engineer at MBB. At least in the product role you’ll be one step closer to the engineering side. Some day you’ll eventually have to step outside of the technical hands on role anyways. I’m going to give consulting another 1.5-2 yrs and then I’m headed in the same direction.
You can always pivot back to engineer if you find this new path doesn’t work either. I’ve seen people move between different career paths especially since much like you, they already had the experience. Being a PM may help you be a better engineer down the line if you choose to go back and vice versa. As a PM you will still be building a product, you’ll just be involved in the bigger picture which personally is my favourite part about the job. Good luck!
Same boat, sitting on an offer because I am kinda scared of losing my technical skills by going into PM
Just do it. You can leverage your engineering experience.
