I don't have personal experiences at TCS, but celebrating milestones often involves team outings or personal treats. Promotions and awards are significant achievements worth celebrating with friends or family.

What are some memorable moments or achievements you've experienced during your 2year journey at TCS? How do you plan to celebrate this special milestone?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

TC: 1.3 Cr
YOE: 9

I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies.
#Ask Me Anything #ama #amazon #atlassian #google #startups #bengaluru #networth #money management #finance #india

Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

Hi everyone, let me tell you a fact regarding TCS.

In 2022 I was part of a technical interview panel and select a candidate. As it was a virtual session, HR was also present. Once I selected that guy HR discussed about the salary. You dont belive in same technology having less than 5 years of experience than me HR agreed to offer a package which is 30% more than my package. I understood the loyal value of my employment being there for more than 7 years. Its really demotivates me in terms of everything and now i hv decided to leave TCS and untill i am there in TCS wont take any interview atleast.

TCS doesn't care about its loyal employee.

Going first, for me it is my Apple Watch Ultra (with Blue Ocean Band). I paid Rs. 1.05 Lacs for it but still the best investment I have ever made

Operation Manager

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

  Never let a retard shame you for job hopping.  
  Job hopping is one of the fewest ways to attain some economic mobility in this shithole country.   
  For a corporation understand that you're a fungible resource. They'll throw you under the bus once you've outlived their utility. Always lookout for your own personal interest first.

What benefits do employees get on joining TCS? What are the health and wellness policies for employees and their families?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

My interview was scheduled today, I joined the call 10 minutes early, was waiting in the meeting for 15 minutes post the scheduled time, but nobody joined, and neither did anyone call/email informing about if the interview was canceled or postponed. 
Really pathetic behavior 🙄 no professionalism.

Did anyone attend TCS interview today, 18th May?

Hey Folks,
I'll be graduating in July and I have 2 offers in hand TCS and Accenture.

I'm in a dilemma about which offer to choose because many IT professionals have mentioned that TCS doesn't have as many projects, and its work culture is not that good.

I'm also considering the long-term growth prospects and career advancement opportunities offered by both companies. Additionally, I'm evaluating factors such as salary, benefits, location, and the alignment of the company's values with my own career aspirations.

Need your help in choosing a good career friendly company and also long term growth as an individual.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Do not join TCS at the early stage of life with a low salary with expectations that it will grow after a year or two as promotions are very slow. 
If you are getting a role with a salary up to the mark go ahead but the promotions and hike totally depends on the project. As I know the hike at TCS is between 2% to 5%.
Also promotions do not depend on your performance, even if you perform outstanding you might end up getting a 2% hike. Not worth it right. 
Promotions totally depend upon your behavior with your TL and manager. Even if the person does not work but does the chamchagiri of them it works. 
Once the project you are working in RAMPS Down the RMG people helps to ruin your life after that. RMG in Tcs needs proper training to allocate the manpower to proper process.
