I’m highly disappointed about the fact that whenever I talk to the HR teams or recruiters about joining bonus, they state there’s no provision. However, my male colleagues or ex co-workers who interviewed for the same position where offered a joining bonus. This has happened to me twice now and I’m starting to believe something is wrong in the system or there is some kind of biased against women at certain workplace.

It boils down the the specific hiring manager's budget, and their willingness to offer a sign-on bonus, HR is simply trying to tell you that the HM isn't offering a SO bonus in a more professional way.

The hiring manager may have biases, or they may not have enough budget.

Or. The patriarchy is still a massive problem for women in many sectors. It's ok to outright admit it's a problem, unless you're male and you can't see it .

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.
