This is because only negotiating factor for india is offer or previous salary not skills, interview performance.
Asking Previous salary structure which is confidential is also unprofessional but followed by HR's in any reputed organization across India for years.

Well the HRs have never gotten back to us since last 3 decades.. Nothing unprofessional after that.. After all HRs represent the company and culture.. Devs represent product and tech..

Few reject for CTC, few reject for travel time , few reject for wlb ,few reject for service based.

Every one have their own valid reason to choose for.

Nothing is fair in the world. Companies put the position on hold even after releasing offer letter.

True

People change their mind even after receiving the laptop. Market is competitive, you need to offer more perks in order to attract. Winning the loyalty of a candidate matters and interviewers should focus on understanding the work expectations and judge the candidate if the person will stick to the company in the interview process rather than waiting for joining date.

Yes.. They are not doing us any favour.. How many times it has happened that we were highly underpaid until we put resignation.. And suddenly got 50% to 100% hike with better WLB in the same org.. If anyone is unethical, it is org, mgr and HRs..

Just wait till you reach your last week of notice period. Some things need experience to understand. The offers that come in last 15 days are too good to refuse

It's only 3 months I joined an MNC. I'm one of the 20 new members to the team joined recently, so the total team is of 45.

Now, the manager says there's no budget and going to put all 20 on PIP. She says, if during PIP if the performance is good, she'll hold back few.

All the people are working their ass off but I hear PIP is only for termination.

Should I also work hard or start looking for other jobs?
Will I be in bench for other projects or directly terminated with 3 months of pay? 🫠

Hi fishes,
Last year I got an offer from tcs which I had accepted initially but did not join ultimately. I had notified the same to the recruiter over call and mail. It's been one year and I see all those details in the portal still exist and hence I am not able to apply the same. Can anyone tell when they will delete the old application.

note:- I know there are lots of other companies than tcs, just wanted to know for informational purpose.
