Sea of thieves anyone?
Bajaj finance is extending an offer to me for Pune location of 16 LPA fixed. My current fixed is 11 LPA. Is this offer good enough ?
Tech stack: Machine learning, Python, R, PowerBI, Basic SQL.

Can someone suggest if fixed pay is fair or low or high according to current standards. If it's low, how high should I quote to HR Bajaj Finance

What jobs are currently paying 85k?
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

There used to be some conventional wisdom that early in the year was a good time to apply as companies had gotten new budgets. It's hard to know if that still applies, or, to be honest, whether it was every really accurate. In today's job market, everything seems to take forever, so the best time to start looking for a job is right now. If you're interested, get serious about it and start applying.
Yeah what I learned is start applying early because once you actually want a new job you might have finally at least heard back from some places.
If roles are not already open, I imagine many roles should become available soon. If not, end of q1.
Many companies do end of q1 bonuses so people will stay to get their bonus then put in notice.
I anticipate an uptick in open roles in April/May.
Industry dependent but professional services and bonus eligible roles for sure!
Yes that’s a good time to check too. Might need to get my things in order ready for it.
The best time to apply is when you need a job! That said, usually start of the year, there are more postings as budgets are finalized and new projects are introduced. I’d be interested to know if certain industries are different in that regard.
Yeah I agree. I think I’ll start throwing my cv out soon and just seeing what bites.
I would apply you never know
True I’ll start now!
Any time is the best time
Not wrong I guess.
I bet we get quicker responses if they do respond bc holidays are over.
Yeah I think so, that probably takes up a lot of corporate energy.
