Salaries / freelance comp is half of what it used to be. I know the industry is struggling, that all job markets are struggling, and the economic climate is rough. But WTF? In the late aughts I was in my late 20’s, had minimal experience, small responsibilities, and made $60 an hour freelance and then a little over $100k full time. Now I am in my mid 40’s with lots of high profile work and experience. Yet I get major low balled all the time. Put that into an inflation calculator, vomit.

Hi Everyone, Urgent Help!! 2.2 YOE Java Developer having 7.9 LPA Larsen & Toubro Infotech

Cognizant offered 'PA' role with 10.8 LPA.

Now 5 days left in my NP and a startup has offered 13+1 LPA.

I tried to counter CTS (looking stability factor) they are saying "we have already offered you max CTC so not able to match up your expectation."

What should I do now? Ask to upgrade to 'Associate' role having 2.2 YOE or negotiate my CTC with them?

TIA

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month).

I've gotten the Deloitte D launch orientation survey. Me start date is on the 16th (less than 2 weeks). I've emailed BI onboarding twice, called my recruiter asking if they are ok with background/employment verification check and I've not gotten a response. I need to put in my 2 week notice and all my recuiter has said is I can push your start date out. Has anyone been thru this ? Does getting the D launch orientation email imply everything is good with background/employment checks
