Received an offer from LTI Mindtree for Senior Specialist – Data Science at ₹45 LPA with 11 years’ experience. Is this package competitive? What’s the hierarchy for this role, and does a Senior Specialist usually lead a team or work as an individual contributor? Also, how does it compare to Lead/Manager levels?

Let’s leave the “competitive market” talk aside for a second.
If your hike is around 30% of your current CTC or 15–20% on your holding offer, that’s honestly a win in today’s reality.

Because let’s face it — just because someone out there earns 50 LPA in your skill market while you’re at 25 LPA, doesn’t mean you’ll suddenly be catapulted to that level. You climb that ladder by stacking multiple offers, not multiple hopes or by checking market and asking the numbers.

And about the grade/band – being a Senior Specialist - 100% of cases means you’re an individual contributor.
Not a “Team Lead,” not a “People Manager.”
If you happen to mentor a few 1–3 YOE folks, congrats — you’re unofficially a “lead,” but officially still an IC (Individual Contributor).

In short — play smart, not sentimental. Titles flatter, but payrolls matter.

Ic4 is a lead / architect role and your offer is good, please ensure you are tagged to a client then only join else please look out as the number of projects are very less and the management is horrible. Silent layoffs are happening and huge number of people are on bench
Whether you will lead a team or work as ic depends on team anything can happen.

Why are they paying you so high ? That is question you should ask yourself,what special skills you have that they paying you so much ? After project over you will be be jobless as no projects will take high billing like yours.

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
