Need some advice after 8 months of applying I got an offer for 25% base increase to a large bank as a DE, lower bonus (recruiter said 11k, currently at ~14k). Bank is known to have rigorous pay bands. Should I try to negotiate salary? Also, I applied for a principal role but was given a senior role instead due to experience. Principal would’ve been ~45% raise. Is this common?

Every year of consulting experience does not actually count as 2 compared to industry peers. Another lie told be recruitment.

It's fairly common for industry companies to have pretty rigid YOE requirements and consulting experience commonly is considered 1:1 with industry experience

I want to take the offer, but I’d like to maximize the TC. I think the base is good but the bonus is low. I don’t want to stay at D, but should I ask D for a counter offer for more TC from my exit?

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾
