If the client wants you in Gurgaon, it's best to move. If released, you'll follow the bench policy, likely returning to Chennai. Consult HR for clarity.

Can someone tell me on how many days does Capgemini calls their employees to office, and how many days the employees actually follow there?

Test engineer

It has almost been 18 months since I have joined TCS. I was on the bench for a total of 5 months in the beginning, and finally got a project.

I went to the office and my manager told me that it would take few days for document verification and security clearance. I was coming to the office daily but had nothing to do. I was getting anxious since I was just watching Youtube videos for almost a month. I wanted WFH but when I asked they said I had to come to office even if I had no work.

Finally, I got a KT from someone working on the project. I came to realise that I was doing work that even a 9th class student can do. The problem? 5 people were doing this work.

The problem? I was working 30 minutes a day. I had to come early to the office, login using my seniors login creds and do timepass work. I have to send an email to our point of contact at the client side that the work is done at the end of the day.

I have learnt nothing here. I feel that these companies are just too inefficient. I am planning to leave ASAP now. I have learnt nothing and I am scared that I will not find another job because I have the Years of Experience but no skills. This is how IT companies destroy your career. Now I am doing DSA to get into another company.

Our jobs requires us to move to a different location almost every few years. Considering this fact, how do folks here decided where to buy their permanent home?

I used to live in Gurgaon before covid. I've been working remotely since then. In the long run, I don't see myself working from home all the time. I may move to work in a hybrid setup. I had always observed that there are not a lot of opportunities in Gurgaon comparing with Hyderabad or Bangalore.

Moreover, I don't like big & crowded places. I don't see myself living in these metro cities in the long run.

I want to know if you are rolled off from project in Deloitte India. How much time can you stay on bench, then too when you have recently been confirmed. Also, is there a risk of being fired?

My previous organisation was 100% remote, I have got two offers, one of them providing around 40% hike.

the other option is giving lesser base hike but I can take approvals for 100% remote. (need to convince manager, that I can work independently)


What would you choose? Help me understand your POV? 


My Take - 
Many people hate the life in bangalore but harsh truth is we don’t have many opportunities in NCR. Eventually people move to Bangalore.

NCR folks, would you move to bangalore for ~40% base hike?

Staff Engineer

Couple of my team mates are going to office, most of the colleagues are not.

Do you think I should move to BLR, considering like 2 weeks in Bangalore and 2 weeks in hometown.

Found a place in BLR which is like 18k per month.

Is it a good time for early in career(1.5 YoE) to join Google India. I am curious about their current culture like WFH policies, management outlook, direction of company, growth opportunity etc in Bangalore offices only.

What can you tell as an insider to someone on the outside looking at Google for possible next switch.

Also, are there opportunities to shift from Bangalore to other location outside India?

Folks at GoogleIndia, what can you share?

Guys who are staying in metro cities like Delhi NCR, Pune, Bangalore or Hyderabad.. Can anyone tell me how much in hand salary is sufficient to live above mentioned metro cities with the family who has parents and 2 children dependents?
Currently I am working remotely (work from home) but due to no hikes or promotion I think I need to switch and now a days very less or none companies offering work from home..Evey company either 5 days a week or following hybrid model...
So, please give ur valuable suggestions so that I can get idea whether should I switch and come to any metro cities or should I stay back in my hometown with same salary?

How much in-hand salary is sufficient

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month.

Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own.

Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office?
I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin.

My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling.
Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office.

In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause,

- they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills.
- they want to show who is the boss here.
- Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention.

What you guys think?

My base location is bangalore. Can I work from Chennai office. How is work from office calculated in Accenture.

Accenture work from office policy

I am currently WFH, but looking for new opportunities.
Since most of the companies are now demanding on site, which is better for better growth, savings and learning?

Gurgaon/ Noida or Bangalore??

Current Experience ~ 2 years

Which is better?

This is kinda weird and unexpected - It has just been a couple of months since I left my previous company (a Unicorn) from a senior role in business. I left on good terms due to reasons like : Lack of personal growth in sales-led roles and being in the same industry for long.

I had just moved from BLR to Gurgaon to a new startup (run by a conglomerate) and it has not exactly gone as per my expectations - no Hybrid WFH option (WFH is not very common in non-tech domains too); extreme micromanagement and the weather+vibes in Gurgaon (no offence please).

Now, my previous company has called me back for a strategy role. I'm super confused:

1. I prefer BLR any day
2. I prefer working in Hybrid mode any day
3. But I left my previous company due to stagnation in sales roles. The role offered to me now is a Strategy+ Partnership one.
4. I am not exactly sure how I will tell my current employer about this. It will be a dark mark?

Making this ama , so that I can help someone who is going through the same situation.
