Tokyo or Seoul for 2 weeks in October? I haven't been to either and can't speak either native language. Does it make sense to try to go to both on the same trip or is it better to stick to one?

Japan. You’ll have more than enough to do for two weeks. Went for three earlier in the year and everyday was filled with activities, restaurants, etc. It’s a huge country.

One. Tokyo!

I did both in a 2 week trip. Actually Seoul > Osaka (day trips to Kyoto and Nara) > Tokyo and it was plenty of time!

Thanks everyone! Just booked a ticket to Tokyo, let me know your recs for a first-timer :)

Either would be great. And FWIW, you not speaking the native language for any country you visit should not be a factor in your consideration. Explore the world honey!

I would do 2 in 2 weeks. 1 week in Tokyo - plenty to do, eat, see, and shop and skip Kyoto and Osaka - and 1 week in Seoul. Similar vibes but different enough food, culture and people to make both uniquely interesting and exciting. So jealous. Have fun.

I would instead suggest staying in Japan and covering Kyoto. Plan on spending a good 3-4 days there. Seoul is nice, too, but Japan is a more culturally rich experience with a lot more depth that shouldn’t be rushed. Kyoto is huge, it’s a city not just a handful of overcrowded (but good) attractions

I’ve been to Seoul (twice) and I would say Tokyo. I’d say it’s meh compared to the rest of Asia.

Hi All,

Kindly suggest which option to opt for

HCL 27LPA with 15% VP
TCS 22LPA with 2.5L VP

I know there are more difference with Salary in HCL but I am worried about Job Security and Work as I have already reached 12 plus of experience as .Net Developer. I am planning to settle down for few years. Kindly suggest which option to opt for.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
