Is $50k a reasonable starting salary within the IT field for someone one with bachelors in information assurance, computer systems, and business as well as certs such as A+, Net+, Sec+, and PenTest+ directly after college? (North western/central Ohio)

Honestly that sounds pretty good in today’s job market right out of school

Without actual experience? That's a great deal for me. That's just a starting salary anyway, so you can always ask for an increase.

That is a fair offer.

Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of exp as full stack developer and my current CTC is 15 lpa and notice period is of 3 months.

Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
