This place rewards survival, not merit. Stay 10+ years and you’re probably a Senior Manager or an AD by now. Doesn’t matter if you’ve never built anything.

So now you have ADs, Directors and Sr. Directors who’ve never shipped real applications in their lives. Never written good code. Never stayed up fixing a broken deployment.. They came up managing tickets and contractors. That was fine when India was just a support center.

Nothing's gonna change. My manager who joined 8 months after me got promoted to AD in just 2 years while I left with no promotion for 4 years. It's all about visibility and not impact.

like

You should leave for a better job. The lack of promotion not only affects morale, it affected my expected CTC while negotiating with companies. I joined VZI at a pretty good salary and after stagnating for 4 years, my salary barely grew 40% and even with a 40% hike offer during my recent switch, it fell less than what Engr III Clst with my experience were making at VZI.

Your rating depends on how visible you are in meetings, not what you actually built. The architect in the room who knows exactly what needs to happen has zero political power. The senior leader who doesn’t understand the problem makes the call anyway based on what his boss thinks

like

Contractors get the worst of it. Same vendors, year after year. Cheap by design. They’d get handed the messy work, have no say in timelines, pull weekends regularly — and the moment something went wrong, they were out. Not the manager. Not the lead. Just the contractor. Blame game and credit stealing.

like

Some of those architects and senior engineers are great. They built good products often in spite of everything working against them. They deserved better leadership and better recognition. senior leaders mostly dont care. Chamchagiri wins

like

So when US asks to layoff people. How is it surprising when these same inept leaders don't know what to build or whom to fire. They will just vomit what they get from top and ask us to create the next GPT, Sonnet or Gemini 😂

So, why do folks stay in Senior Engineer roles for ages? They claim that making a strong business case gets you promoted. But honestly, it's often easier if you're tight with your boss.

Does really Collaboration work or it's just a myth. Always hearing from Offshore manager is that take more ownership like from offshore we should be working 80% and only 20% will leave for onshore because of time difference..

Is it really a collaboration or simply a cold War between offshore and onshore ownership..
