Hi Fishes,

So I'm working as an Associate Research Analyst in an India based company... I'm waiting for my promotion (1.10yrs).
My CTC is very low.. I've been thinking to quit this company n join a Big4.. Where my skills very paid according to industry standards...
But my company started this thing called 2nd appraisal for 6 months period.. Where 1st actual appraisal has never come to an end...
They aren't paying the salary in time
What do you think I should opt.. Should I call it quits..
