Many companies are now selling everything "Faux"ie fur, leather, silk, etc- which is plastic: polyester, modacrylic and acrylic fibres, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polyurethane. And they charge a lot for it in the form of shoes, jackets, dresses...a full wardrobe without natural fibers.

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.
