I have cleared the interview at TCS for java developer role. My current ctc is 4.5 lpa with 5+ years of experience. I started my career in non tech profile then switched to technical roles in the same company hence my package is too low.

I want to know how much hike i can expect for this role. Can I ask 10 LPA or more ?

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
