If you were only 5 months into working a tier 3 company and then got an offer from a tier 1 company, how much higher would the TC need to be for you to potentially burn that bridge?

Hi All,

I am C3 with 7+ years experience in BI - Power BI, Tableau and Microstrategy.

Do Mindtree Match CTC to retain resource who has got 50-60% hike on current CTC.

It's been 3 week with CTS (cognizant). After HR discussion HR said wait for offer letter but no offer letter yet.
YOE 9
Expected CTC 27Lpa
Current 20LPA
Did i ask too much?? Will congnizant not approve my Expected CTC? HR is not picking up what to do?

Kudos to the one guy boldly pointing out the current comp issues...
