Going to a new company won't lower your income. Should still get at least a 10% raise with a new company. If they try to tell you they're going to give you a lower income since their city is cheaper say you're not interested.

I made the move from SF to Chicago. Kept SF salary.

Internally? How did you justify it?

Salary will stay the same for strategy. Other groups may require an adjustment.

Hello Everyone,

What salary are fishes getting in the market for same experience?
How much hike should I asked for?

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
