I'm a Software developer for a product company with 2 yoe,
Ctc: 65 lpa,
Inhand: 40 lpa
The job is not that exciting, and am thinking of switching.
Any suggestions on how much ctc should I aim for a new job?

If your overall experience is 2 years, and your current CTC is 65 LPA, unfortunately 90% of the companies will say you are way over budget. The remaining 10% will test you well and then say you are way over budget. 🙃

I mean how much can you ask? 75? The only companies who MAY give you that are FAANG. That is only if you are the best. Else abroad is the only option aur zyada chahiye toh

Okay again, if you find suitors willing to pay ypu slightly less, then sure! Why not? But see the problem is look at the conversation thats gonna happen initially with an HR before any interview:
HR - what is your current Ctc?
You - 65
HR - we cannot afford you.
You - im willing to settle for less.
HR - how less? Expected ctc?
You - 55.
HR - we still can’t afford you given your work ex.

This is one way a conversation might go even before your interview starts
The other is you and the HR arriving at a number which is obviously at the high end of the spectrum. But while you want to acquire “new skills” a company may not pay 45+ lpa only for you to learn new skills. Slim chances but I hope you make it by man. You’re probably feeling stagnated right now hence yearning for a change.

I think he is trying to say 6.5 lpa and inhand 40

Bro are you from tier 1?

Learn technology that you like. Start building your own business or brand . Use your salary to build your business for passive income.

That will help you in longer period. Switching job is not the only solution. Because at some point you feel the same in any companies that you are going to work.

Which company you work at?

They have increased the pay in recent times. Also, it depends upon which market the person is working in. I'm developing products for all the 11 markets that OLX is in, so maybe that's why. But the issue is that the work is mundane and isn't really helping me grow

Tech stack?

Mostly working as a full stack with React, React Native, Angular, Nodejs, SQL and mongo

Which college you did graduation from?

By seeing current situation and layoffs happening hiring will be freezed. So take step carefully

Freelance, contribute to open-source, help out in tech forums to upskill as an alternative

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
I recently got offered a clinical admin position, would this count as clinical exp?
Thanks

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Hi Fishes ,
I got an opportunity from Axtria as a Senior Associate/ Lead - BIM. BIM is one of the Axtria's business vertical.

I've cleared all rounds of interviews including final HR round and salary discussion and at last HR told me that he will get back to me with next steps. It's been over a week, I did not get any response. I have called HR and he said he is checking with internal team and getback to me.

Anyone from Axtria or past employees have any idea for this kind of situation?

Thanks
