Negotiating at your first job is useless. And you’ll learn more by wfh and just upskilling using youtube, udemy and libgen. 
 Office is hectic and useless

I feel like networking is very important, especially in a place like Bangalore, no? Isn't hybrid the best option if he can afford to move there?

Application Analyst

I just noticed he isn’t a developer. Yes he has to network then and actually go out and meet people. 
 But yeah if he decided to level up early get skilled efc wfh is fine. It’s his choice

10LPA is decent for fresher as BA. You should come down to Bangalore as the learning curve will be steep with colleagues/peers. COL depends on lifestyle. Be humble in initial days (share a flat/house) and you would be good to go.

10L is a good start at BLR. Go for it and focus on upskilling yourself

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I got a job offer of 10 LPA base as a Business Analyst at a BFSI company. The work is full remote with an option to do hybrid as well. The office is in Bangalore and I really want to move there since it’s just the starting of my career and I feel like I could learn a lot by being in office, but idk if I can afford Bangalore rent and COL with this base. Any inputs (including your thoughts on if I should stay remote or move to Bangalore) are appreciated.

Fresher with 10 LPA (Base) offer. Should I negotiate?

Fresher with 10 LPA (Base) offer. Should I negotiate?- Grapevine

I had resigned from my previous org couple of months back I have 1 year 4 months of full time experience for a frontwnd developer role.. My previous comp was 13 LPA fixed, I got an offer from another company, they are giving me 16 LPA fixed (remote). Is this a good hike? It's not even 23% increment. Usually I have seen people getting atleast 50% increment on their previous withdrawn salary while switching and sometimes even more. People get more than this during annual increment. And also this job is remote while most of the jobs are in Bengaluru and there comes additional living expense cost if I take a job in Bengaluru with a offer more than 16LPA. Please help me how should I go about this given the market situation. I was expecting around 18LPA in this company even if it is remote.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Guys,
I have 8 years of IT experience out of which , 2.5 in azure. I got a call from Capegemni HR , saying there's an azure opening, asked for my current and expected CTC. I said the current is 7 LPA and expected is 20 LPA. It's a hybrid role with 3 days working from the office. She said it is not possible, Max they can give is 10-13. I am in Kerala,and have a baby under 1. I have to relocate if I get it. I don't think it is fair salary.

Is it ok if we don't tell when they're asking for our current salary based on which they will give max 100% if we perform exceptionally in the interview.

Or how can I deal this?

Thanks in advance.

Revealed current CTC and got bad offer

Data engineer

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

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm a resident of Karnataka, I'm unemployed currently, i thought I would get offers in Bangalore (still giving interviews). This gurgaon offer came along. They want me to do the hybrid model to the gurgaon office. Not sure what to do.

Exp; 5 
CTC: 23, 20 base + bonus

Should I move to gurgaon from Bangalore? They're offering 20 base.

Project Manager

Hello, I have 5yoe at big4, currently working from my hometown. However recently I received an offer for a product company (pre-sales) which needs me to relocate to Bangalore. 
The hike is good 45% but considering the CoL I might just be saving 10-15k more per month than I do now. 

So, my question is, is it worth joining the product firm and relocate?

Move to Bangalore for slight pay increase?

Consultant

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I might get an offer from the company which is ready to give me good amount of money, but it's in banglore , I do wfh right now 2+ exp, how much should I ask so that I can live life to the fullest there, here is what I have calculated:
My expenses in HSR layout: around 50k
My investments: around 50k
My saving and other stuff to enjoy my life there and send money to my parents also: 60k
Total: 1.6lakhs per month atleast
For that I need to have 24lpa as a base.. plus I need some relocation bonus.
Is my expected salary at banglore less or more?
How should I start my salary negotiation?

A dilemma of banglore

Background:
I have around 7 years of experience. Right now doing WFH from tier-2 city and staying with family (Married so wife + my parents). My current job is good but politics and bad manager came into picture. I applied to few jobs and got an offer.

Current Situation:
The offer I got is WFO (hybrid) from Bangalore so I need to move. Increment in terms of cash is 12.5% (they dont want to push more). RSU is good and they vest in 1 year directly.
I estimate that house I require near my office (Kadybeesanahalli) will cost around 50-60k and rest budget of 50-60k. So I will save around 1-1.5L (50% will go to MF, stock etc)

Question:
Is this a good decision to move and settle there ?
New org is a reputable one and has stable job as of now

Note: I am not including my wifes salary as she still needs to search a job

Is it a good idea to move cities right now

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I have been working in HSBC GSC HYD for more than a year and as this journey comes to an end now, I would like to share my experience with you all. 
The first thing that comes in our mind while joining any new company is about their workplace environment and their HR policies. 

There have been quite a few incidents that happened during the last one year which I neglected thinking "Isn't this what corporate life feels like?" I neglected everything to the point where it became unbearable for me and made me go through some serious mental health issues and panic attacks. 

The most recent incident that I would like to share with you all is when I was ethnically humiliated by one of my colleague.

The incident happened on 22 April 2024 when I was subjected to ethnically insensitive remarks by my colleague AA. The exacts words which was used by him is 'EK CHAMAAT MAARENGE, BIHAR PAHUCH JAOGI' which exactly means - I will slap you so hard, you will go back to Bihar. 

I did follow the protocol and informed my manager AT about the whole incident but nothing came out of it, except for a team meeting where I was told that my colleague did not physically assault me, it was just a hatred comment which I can let go of. 

I reached out to the concerned HR team and filed a POSH Complaint for the same, after weeks of the incident, on 3 May, I received an email from the HR team to give feedback for the same without any updates on what action was taken. 

I did let go of everything thinking that anyways I will be leaving the office soon as I am currently in my notice period when another incident happened. 

I was on a smoke break when VKR, AMO from the UK CDD team approached me and made objectifying remarks on me. The comment he made was 'Tmhare jaisi ladki hum aaj tk ni dekhe hai, akele pura UK team ka naam kharab kr k rkhi hai.' which means - He has never seen a girl like me, I have ruined the name of their team. I did ask him the reason for saying such things to which he replied 'tmhare alawa kisi UK team ki ladki ko hm ni dkhe hai cigarette pite huye' which means - he has never seen any girl from the UK team smoking cigarettes. Later while going back inside the office, I saw him eating tobacco and spitting on the wall inside the office premises. 

My LWD is 13 June 2024 and I hope this post reaches to everyone who are currently working in HSBC and to the people who are planning on joining HSBC GSC HYD before I leave.

Workplace Toxicity at HSBC

Good that she reported it. Such things are shrugged as usual banter, though people don't understand how deeply they can affect someone's mental health

Product Manager

Recently, I got my resume shortlisted for a 2 months internship at a Bangalore based startup. They're offering 13.5k per month stipend with no full time opportunity. Also, there's no remote opportunity as well. I'm currently based out at a different state. They're asking me to fill a form if I'm interested to go forward with the application. 

Should I take the chance to go forward with the application? Isn't 13.5k too less to survive in Bangalore?

Should I move to bangalore with a low paying internship?

Software Developer

Recently my friends moved to 4 BHK apartment near Domlur. The total rent is coming to 1 Lakh for unfurnished apartment, it has some really good amenities.

All 3 of them have offices nearby, and I work remotely for a US startup. After, furnishing and one time setup, just rent is coming to 32k. I am unsure, whether moving there would be worth it or not for me.

I really enjoy company of my friends, but the rent for me is expensive + 6 months deposit. I can definitely afford to pay that much rent, but not sure whether it’ll be good decision or not because of market conditions and tons of uncertainties. I cannot back out if I say yes.

I am super confused, one side I want to stay with friends and on other side rent and deposit is worrying me.


Would love to hear thoughts of you all. 🙏

Is it worth it to pay 32k in rent for a room in bangalore if you work remotely ?

One of the reson for increase in rent especially in Bangalore is these early 20s bachelors earning min 20 to 30LPA, who think when splitted rent into 2 to 3 flatmates it will be less than 30K. They don't know the struggle once they get married and is a single earner in the family.

Founder

H guys, 

I have 10+ YOE and am earning 23 LPA in native Android app development.
Location : Bangalore

How much package can I get in Android app development with this experience.
Please mention if I do need to upskill myself for it,

Salary discussion

Fresher, 1st job. Getting 12 LPA before deductions. Wanted to know how is it and what type of lifestyle I would be able to afford. 

Fellow Grapeviners earning similar, how do your expenses look and how much do you save?

How is a salary of 12 LPA in Bangalore.

Got a job offer which is asking me to relocate to bangalore. I’m currently based out of Gurgaon and not familiar with the rent/amenties scene there. 

What is a good salary range to live a good life there? By good I mean 
- Living in a decent (subjective ik) society with some basic amenities like gym, park, pool (would love that) etc. 
- Dining/Partying at least once a month. 
- Going out to some place atleast once a week
- Having a maid for cooking + cleaning


Other expenses would remain same across cities (digital products/shopping etc)

All pointers appreciated.

Whats a good salary to live comfortably in Bangalore?

Hi guys! I am planning to move to blr but i hear the rent situation is really bad. Can someone suggest what are some areas that I should look into ? I don't need to travel a lot as I work for a fully remote startup. Any suggestions?

Planning to move to blr, salary: 35k/mnth

We are a digital marketing agency focused on helping startups (funded). We are currently remote with the team spread across the country.

I'm contemplating moving base to Bangalore - a lot of folks say that Bangalore is the place to be for my business. 

Need some real advice, would me being physically present in Bangalore help my business? 

Do startups prefer Bangalore based agencies vs other city/remote agencies?

Bangalore startup folks - need help!

Growth And Strategy

Hey peeps!

Currently working in a Fintech company in Mumbai as a Frontend Engineer with over a year of experience. The current CTC is 7 LPA. 

I feel like the growth here is limited and from the past few months there's been a lot of micro-management. Even the CTC is not up to Mumbai's expense standard. I live in a soapbox and pay like 1/5 th of monthly salary. Standard of living has been decreasing while it should be opposite.

+ I've 6 days work week with 9 hours /day shift. Although I've decided to drop in papers soon, I'd like to hear your opinions. 

Brownie points if you refer me to some good early stage startup probably in BLR or Pune or Remote.

Should I continue or resign

I am a fresher, and from non technical background. I am getting a internship, they are offering me remote with stipend but I am insisting with wfo, the stipend is 25K. But I badly want to move to bangalore, just so I can learn more and make connections. But seeing all posts of high cost of living. I’m now confused.

Badly want to move Bangalore

I am joining a new company which is remote first.

Does it makes sense to be in banglore?

Given that if i move to my home town, I will save 95% of my income.

I am confused because I also like banglore and dont like the idea of living with my parents.

But if i stay at home for 2 3 years, I would be able to buy a property in banglore when i move back in future.
