Career Advice

I joined Infosys as a fresher in June 2021, and my first project has been and still is in the Financial domain for one of the Netherlands banks. As I haven't seen any increment in my salary or a hike from management after 2.6 years of working, I decided to start looking for a switch from January 2024. I received an offer from another company which offers close to a 170% hike (my current CTC is 4.10 LPA) and requires me to work from Hyderabad (currently working from Pune) I have submitted my resignation. My manager countered with an offer of a hike of 15-20% or an opportunity for onsite work in the Netherlands for 6 months, though this isn't immediate—it would be after a colleague returns, as he is going onsite first for 6 months starting in August. So, I may need to wait until next year and continue working on the same salary for 7 to 8 months. I am inclined to explore the onsite opportunity, but also feeling stuck from financial side. I'm unsure about what would be most beneficial for me in the long run. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏 Thank you!

It’s temporary on-site opportunity and that too after ur colleague returns and unless you are able to stay back… 99% chance you are gonna regret leaving a 170% hike… I think ur manager also knows his offer is bullshit and 6 months later they can easily say they can’t send you now due to changed business environment and cost cutting… stick to ur guns until they give u visa in ur notice period
