It is really an interesting question on independence … can you spend extraordinary and excessive amounts of money on entertaining fat cats and still be independent …?

Wondering why pic would spend so much entertaining clients. Isn’t this a conflict with their fiduciary responsibility to stake holders?

Not at the level of extravagance. Ever try to take a Walmart economic buyer to lunch? They won’t do it. Because it looks crappy. How much did those court side tickets cost ?

Please suggest if truly I will be eligible for yearly hike after being retained and is it good to stay overall.

P.S - TCS gave 7.5 on top of 5.1 LPA, 6.2 is what i got recently in April promotion for Associate.

Hoping negotiation might be an option. Thanks for any insights!
