Kind of scary that we are all living a lifestyle thats dependent on a salary that could be taken away from us at ang moment.....

Financial independence should be the goal. A higher salary should be seen as only a means to that, not the end itself.

Fishbowl ain't your target audience with all the Accounting/Finance/Tech people here that are frugal compared to what they earn. I'm driving a 2015 Mazda 3 I bought cash while earning 6 figures, and my savings/investments could last me about 5 years if I ever get to live Great Depression 2.0.

I have 6 YOE in. Net+Angular and got an offer from Legato Health Technologies with 20 LPA Fixed, i joined Infor just 11 months ago with 12LPA Fixed and i will get the hike in August. If i resign now i will not get hike and i am a critical resource in the project, i guess Infor might try to retain me by matching offer. What should i do? Should i resign ASAP and not negotiate with Infor . I have all these doubts because Infor is a product based company.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
