What would you do? I secured a client side role at my DREAM company. I wasn’t looking, but a recruiter reached out. I’m recently promoted. I love my team & boss. The company has been great to me...

Seize the opportunity. Give your notice kindly and we’ll, depart on solid footing and don’t burn a single bridge. Change is good for growth, and if this is a case where it’s your dream, don’t be afraid of change if you’re just going to wonder “what if” down the road

Follow your dream. Life's too short not to. Just leave on great terms and thank them for everything they've done for you. You never know, your dream company may have some issues. Few companies are perfect. If you don't love it, you leave the door open to a return.

You don’t have to hate one thing to try something else. In fact, it’s much better to have liked every place you’ve worked than to have hated them all. This is best case scenario, friend. Congrats!

Leave on a good note. Take the dream offer.

Take it!!! And like the others said, leave on good terms. Be grateful for what you have learned and stay in contact with folks. It can be hard to move to the client side so do it while you can. And if they are a good boss/company, they will be happy for you and understand it’s a great opportunity (but they will probably try to get you to stay!)

Everything above. Give it a shot and if they love you, they'll always make room for you again if it doesn't work out...but in the meantime, follow the dream- the best opportunities come in moments like this and when you least expect them.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Happy to provide my story on the other side. Spent two years at Accenture under Technology mostly working on business analysis for implementations and PMO.

Left for Facebook for a role in strategic analytics in BizOps with 180k TC.

Few tips for looking at exits:

1) Referrals are a huge tool for getting your foot in the door. At Facebook it guarantees that atleast your resume is given more than a glance.

2) A well constructed story/resume can offset any weak points in your experience

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive.

I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
