Leaving TCS after 15 years.

The feeling is not great.

There is fear of uncertainty and lack of belief in myself.

Also other service based companies are not offering more than 100% hike. I guess I will have to make another switch in 1-2 years.

Author, would you please suggest me one of your view point? I wanted one genuine suggestion from you, if I got one offer from TCS with C2 ITA 18LPA total CTC in my hometown, should I join? I joined Cognizant in Feb 2024 with CTC as 23LPA pune location but without any project. Is it worth to join TCS with 18LPA?

That's the reality of our IT companies. They don't value their employees.
That's why people are making moves whenever they gets good offers.

Update:


Left TCS with 300% hike.

I learned that everyone who is in same work environment for 3-4 years feels it is a safe place. People who join TCS stay there cuz they think there is less work. But they don't know that everyone else working in other organisation also feels the same.

TCS will make you lazy. You will always doubt your ability. The management these days is shit in TCS. The organisation is so big that you don't feel belongingness.

How did you overcome this feelings? I left it after 10 years but since 1 months, I felt anxiety

Just focused on learning and giving interviews.

I changed my mindset. 300% hike means 4 months salary is equal to 1 year TCS salary.

This helped me overcome the fear of layoff. You will always be in a better place than TCS.
