This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…

Hi, I am currently working at Bisleri in a quality control role with 6 YOE. My current CTC is very low (4 LPA) and I have not found any motivation or growth in my role since COVID.

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again.

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
