Hi, I am a software developer have been in IT  for last 8 years. I have seen a lot of post here saying they are confused to choose between a Very high ctc and pretty much good ctc + permanent WFH. If it was me i would be happily choosing the latter, but its not me and  i always get WFO offers. I don't want such High ctc's, just 9 hour weekdays and weekends holidays.Which skills are you guys having to land such offers,which industry are you working for. I would like to know about your skills ,domain and industry you are working for.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Folks,

This is my first post. I wanted your input on switching my completely in-office job (mandatory 5 days in office with zero scope for WFH unless for emergencies). 

I’m looking for a remote-first company and willing to switch for 35-40% hike from my current CTC.

I’m holding another job offer currently (30%hike) - during the initial screening they offered me Hybrid but after interviews they stated it’s mandatory WFO. 

Can anyone advise how the markets are looking and what expectations I should hold on to while on the job hunt?  Any referrals in a remote-first organisation  would be much appreciated.

Location: Bangalore
Expectation: Remote or Hybrid but location needs to be in Mumbai.

Thanks folks for reading on till now!

Current CTC

I am a Salesforce Developer working from last 4 years. Now I am bored at WFH setup

But my work timings are from 12PM -  10PM.

Can't get involved in any kind of hobbies, learning etc

Felt like I am just wasting my bachelor time

Should I join office in Tier 1 city or should I continue with WFH

If I move to city I need to manage my meeting and work which would be extra burden on me.

Looking for WFH

Hi Guys,
I  am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA.

1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 

2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it.

Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!

MBB roles salaries in long run/ worth taking risk

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a Frontend Developer with 3.5 years of experience, currently working remotely with a product-based client (product- BGV) through Eteam. The role offers great learning opportunities with the latest tech stack (React, Node.js), but it's a contract-based position on third-party payroll.

Should I consider switching jobs, and if so, what CTC should I expect?

Current CTC: 11 LPA

Seeking Advice on Job Switch and Expected CTC

I am in my early 30's and I am almost done with work. 
I have spent so much time working in startups over the last 10 years that it has taken a toll on my health, i have not spent much time with family and I want to make up for it
I don't have enough money to FIRE but if I can have enough income so I don't touch my savings I think i can FIRE in 10 years 

What are my options that will let me earn 12-15 lakhs a year. My main criteria is I want to work for only 8 hours a day. 
I am open to TCS Infosys type companies, taking tuitions, career couching etc.

What are the income options for an ex software dev

Hello folks, I am working with a startup (now acquired by a big fintech) as FTE for 1.5 years now (Full stack dev) , my TC is 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed + Variable) in a permanent wfh model.

The reason I want to switch is that my tech team is very small (4 people) and there is no senior person in my team from whom I can learn something, thus my learning has become stagnant technical wise.

Should I try and switch company or stay in the same for more time, considering the current market scenario?

PS: I am a 2022 graduate.

Should I switch or not? Please help 🙏

I have been at a company since 2.6 yrs as a founding engineer (joined here as a fresher). I am a graduate from IIT Delhi. I am paid well (50 LPA cash + decent stocks). The work culture of where I am is pretty amazing (5-6 hrs work, 5 days a week), WFH. 
Since I joined when the company was growing, I am  well respected. I would also go in length to say that  I don't expect the culture to be this good anywhere else. However it has been pretty boring lately, the work is very monotonous ( I am a backend engineer with pretty decent technical skills). I think I have little opportunity to grow here. 
What should I do ? 

PS: I got interview calls from various startups but most of them are just matching my salary but after doing some research I see that they are demanding lots of work (12 hrs, sometimes weekends included)

Suggestions for job change

I have been working for 2 years at an Indian telecom company. I am mainly writing code in C for real time sensitive devices. So my experience is low level coding in C and debugging.

Will I be able to get more jobs based on this experience and domain? So should I switch my domain? If yes, then any domain suggestions?

My current fixed pay is 14LPA, AND THAT'S ALL I AM GETTING NOW.

Is C development good?

I have roughly 4 years of experience in mobile engineering, specializing in native iOS and Flutter development. I currently enjoy my role and am successful in it. 
However, recent discussions about the IT market have prompted me to consider a career switch to VLSI, leveraging my degree in ECE and recent proficiency in electronics, honed through GATE preparation.

Has anyone made a similar career change? Any suggestions or opinions are greatly appreciated.

Switching to hardware sector

Application Engineer

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

Consultant

I have been doing WFH for the last 3 years from my hometown. Before that i was in Bangalore(YOE:5). Now i am kind of bored, doing the same activity daily, visiting the same places on weekends. 

Thinking of relocating for short-term(1-2 months) somewhere, budget 20-25k monthly, not so lonely place. Suggest some places, internet is a top priority. If i liked the place, I can extend my stay.

~50LPA, Remote, Where should i relocate?

I seek advise from the folks who are enjoying life working from home and how your routine looks like?

It would be great help if am able to get relevant answers

Correct way of WFH

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey all, I’m actively looking for a switch from my current role to a growth/marketing role at any good company. Additionally, I also aim to get some work-life balance as my current role doesn’t offer it.

Any leads, suggestions, or referrals would be great. 

Here’s my profile: 
Education- Eco Major, Top Du College
Current- Management consulting associate
Projects done in current role - Market research studies for big clients in the pharmaceutical industry

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

WFH = 0 Social Life

I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now) 
  
 I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least 
  
 I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy! 
  
 But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs 🙃🙃

Lawyer

Operations Manager

Here is my background:-
1. Started Working as a full stack intern at a startup at 10K per month in April 2021. (Let's refer to this startup as A).
2. Joined A as FTE at 8LPA in Jan 2022.
3. Graduated in June 2022.
4. Salary got increased to 12LPA in July 2022.
5. The startup (A) was acquired in Feb 2023 by a big fintech and salary was increased to 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed, rest variable).

Considering my experience and salary, should I think about a company switch?

Honestly I do think that my learnings have become stagnant lately, I want to explore new tech which I am unable to do now.

What do you all think?
