why pay new joinees 3x higher

How is the Wipro work culture and growth for a non tech field. Along with the toxicity level

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

Asking for people who feel contended with what they do and how much salary they draw.

I recently switched my job, and my new employers were asking if I could refer someone and I reached out to my junior (fresher, 1 YOE now) at my previous employer and got his resume and he was asking about how much compensation to expect. The number he was expecting was 3x of my salary at my previous employer, naively i assumed that his compensation would <= as mine (I was more experienced and my performance was 📈) and told him : "with current market conditions it's difficult for that, you cannot expect 3x" and he tells me it's not 3x but 2x and I was like 😮. The compensation that he was Getting as a fresher was more than what I was getting paid despite having more experience. I had to switch job to get the same compensation that they are offering to freshers. All this time my ex-manager and lead know about this and never fought on my behalf, I feel betrayed. Now my mood is all f***ed.

Wipro fired 450 freshers on performance grounds, which is strange 1. Fresher annual Salary in India for Wipro is USD 4500 per year. Laying off 450 has no material impact 2. Freshers are anyway paid low -- as their first year is considered as investment by a company with clawback on training costs. Their performance is automatically considered as average, irrespective... So firing freshers on performance grounds does not make any sense, except to send a message to middle management to shape up and to pay lip service to shareholders. What do you guys think?

Your opinion matters, I want you(Yes, You!) to tell us about your view. Would you choose to work at the top companies for the rest of your life in the same domain and continue to climb up the ranks? Maybe, you switch every 3-4 years to other top companies and have the perfect resume. It looks something like: Google ➡️ Meta ➡️ Amazon ➡️ Microsoft ➡️ Uber ➡️ Netflix etc. Or, Do you go for the unconventional path which shows a life well lived and an interesting story? Maybe, you worked for a few years as an SDE and then joined a smaller company as an MLE. Then, maybe a few years down the line you decided to start your own company in the AI/ML space. You fail but it’s okay. You decide to use this experience to become a consultant at a BigCo. to gather capital. Then, you exit and go run an entire vertical at a Series B+ Tech Company. It may look something like this, but can have any variation: Niche#1(big co.) ➡️ Niche#1(small co.) ➡️ Experimental Bet(running a co.) ➡️ Leverage Experimental bet(if fails) ➡️ Senior Leadership Here’s my question to you, the reader: What do you think? Which approach would you prefer? Do you think it sounds good here but real life is different?
