Hello Fishes, Is it worth to take tcs onsite offer to UK for a year and it could possibly get further extended OR to join jpmc with a package of over 150% hike on my current CTC. I have been associated with tcs for almost 11yrs and my current CTC do not even match to my yrs of exp. Will it be possible to switch job in UK? Has sponsorship scenario changed after Brexit? Does Indians have a chance now to find a sponsor? Please advise. Yoe- 11yrs, tech- cloud and devops Tata Consultancy

Hi Fishes, How much money can we keep in our salary account? I have only 1 bank account which is salary account. I have created RD account in that only. So wanted to know what's the maximum amount we need to keep in salary account? And all the amount in our salary account is taxable?

Med school and nursing are definitely not low stress. Doctors work way more than B4 or banking sometimes. You can’t take days off, lives literally depend on you. If you go into dermatology sure it’s low stress, easy money. But most medical fields are tough.
Stay in PA for a couple years, than jump to industry for that low stress, decent pay. All good things you need to work for, that’s life, otherwise everyone would do it
News flash. You have to work hard to make it in this world. Highly compensated because you either handle stressful situations well as a leader or have some rare technical skill. Sorry to break it to you. Strap in for the next 40 years.
There's great opportunities to be paid well and work 39 hours a week at the local Costco returns desk. With some dedication and good grades, you can even be the head shopping cart collector in the parking lot.
You haven’t even earned your place in society yet and want the easy button. Work a few years (yeah it sucks so what) then you’ll have a leg to stand on
Millennial !!! You have to work hard at any career. Go find a cry closet. Nothing in Life comes easy. 6 months is hardly experience. Put on your big boy/girl pants. Welcome to the real world
^^^^^ accounting still sucks!
Well unless it’s something finance related it sounds like your best bet to change would be going back to school. I know a girl who makes more than me, but she is in debt because she somehow has 0 financial ability. She is also a dumbass in regards to common sense. Things tend to work themselves out, focus on yourself and what you want to do. Keep gaining experience and use it to jump into a good role in industry or stick it out if you like your firm. Relish in the fact you are successful making it through a demanding job. Tearing yourself down sure won’t help
Listen to all these accounting cogs...... Cyber / CS for life baby....I work maybe 35 hours a week. 145k 4 years of experience. I got my B.S Cybersecurity from ITT Tech. Work is interesting. You can what your doing all the time and you will never be unemployed.
Just saying, as a first year you make more than the average American family. Not the average person your age, the average American family overall, and right out of the gate. Putting it simply you are well compensated.
@EY5 bay area salaries literally don't count. When a decent house is 2 million those salaries are peanuts
You feel misinformed, really?? You must have done zero research and talked to almost no one if you thought PA was low stress and less than 50 hours a week. PA is infamous for both. Secondly, you need to grow up and face the real world. I have been in PA 25+ years and I don’t know anyone who has a low stress, low hour job who makes really good money. I know a pharmacist who does well but their salary will top out at a certain level. There’s always government work but that has it’s own issues and, except for politicians, not exactly a get rich quick career. Find something you enjoy that provides you the lifestyle you want. Unless you want to be poor or live in your parents basement, you need to get over the idea that you won’t ever have to work hard.
The koolsaid is strong
Employees were the ones that lied to me
You can easily get a job like that in private...

At this age who is making more while having a less demanding job? ... I’m out of NYC and I think a lot of parents are still paying their kids rents or some ppl have found sweet spots in startups .. but are still working hard. The grass is just looking greener than we want it too. I feel 100% feel you though
@EY 6. This is what I want to do. But I literally have zero computer science knowledge. I have basic understanding of html and am generally good with this sort of stuff. How are you making the switch? What is your plan?
RSM5 you’re not wrong, and that’s why I’m moving out by the end of the year.
However, to call it “peanuts” is also unfair; most of my friends (27-30 years old) do own million-dollar homes here. On $150- 220k, that’s not difficult nor an outrageous factor of their income. Most of them intend to sell in a few years and retire comfortably in another city/country.
When people say Bay Area living is unattainable, they’re talking to the “normal” occupations and salaries. Bay Area is expensive BECAUSE of the software engineers. Trust me, [most] software engineers I know are doing just fine.
pwc5: when I said they “couldn’t handle the work”, I mean I know 3-5 people who did CS/boot camps who did fail this path. Some of them didnt interview well, some had to leave the city, and some just flat out said this work is too boring and senseless for me, and boomeranged back to their original career. So just a caveat that it’s obviously not a guaranteed hole in one ..
I get that audit isn’t really adding value, but whoever said it doesn’t add anything to your professional expertise...you sound like you’ll be fucked in any profession you choose lol
@KPMG 3 this was already pointed out. And even has 60+ likes... but thanks for ur 2 cents
OP I had zero coding experience as well - I’ve been teaching myself online since last September (flatiron school has an awesome FREE online bootcamp prep course I highly recommend) and am attending App Academy, a coding bootcamp in SF, this coming summer. I took one C++ class in college, but besides that had zero coding experience before this past September. Bootcamps are the answer to your question but you really have to love programming and be willing to immerse yourself (80-100 hours a week) in it for a few months
Not sure what area you are from but SF Bay Area app academy and hack reactor are definitely the two best and most reputable bootcamps. Check out SwitchUp.org (ranks bootcamps) and read the reviews. There are plenty of online resources where once you’ve taken that prep course I mentioned or some other similar course you can practice solving algorithms and coding challenges (coderbyte, project Euler, Codewars are a few) Once you get good at those is when you should apply to a bootcamp. Of course I haven’t gone through the course yet and can’t attest to my success in finding a job after but there are PLENTY of stories of people who have coming from non traditional backgrounds like finance, accounting, even music majors
