Vacation in Hawaii

Two weeks in Italy in April

To transfer abroad...and it was all set up and approved too...

Was about to go in for a final interview for a 50% pay bump the week we went on lockdown. Most brutal part is I was slowing the process down to get my bonus before quitting, AND the target firm made a no-COVID-layoff commitment. They did not, however, make a "we're still hiring" commitment :(

Was going to take my sabbatical and vacation in Ireland and Italy.

I was going to get a killer bonus and raise. I was going to get engaged to my SO, who is now unemployed and wants to wait until they can “carry their own water.” I was NOT going to work crazy hours and start taking a new antidepressant.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.
