Horrible stuff. They are supposed to pay from companies side by law but they deduct from us.

Its only fair. Gratuity is actually a cost to the company and hence mentioned in the 'CTC'

It only becomes a cost to the company in the year when it is supposed to be paid.  
  
 It is also a function of your last drawn salary. Can you predict now what your salary will be after 5 years? 
  
 I'm not sure how they reconcile deducted gratuity over 5 years with actual payout.

Why are we so obsessed about ctc, I understand that it's important but, in YouTube or linkedin I don't find any Indian  YouTuber who are doing great engineering discussions or inventing anything. Indian youtube channel are just interviews and project for portfolio or DSA algo shit for interview.

No fun stuff, coding for fun, fun algorithms. I follow Daniel shiffman.. coding train, just makes me think why we don't have any YouTuber or content creator who likes and loves the fun aspect of coding. 

Does this reflects our engineering society or my algorithm is biased towards such things?

It's always about ctc

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi Grapevine people,

Need suggestions and a little help on what I should do

So here's the context, I was working with a popular QSR Chai Chain which obviously doesn't sell Sutta or is a Bar

I resigned from there in dec so they held my dec salary for f&f, in my last week I got diagnosed with Typhoid and Jaundice both so couldn't attend last week and left for home. 

Now they changed my last date to when I was in office even though from last 7 days I was not in office 2 were holidays and rest I contributed in 3 days through WhatsApp communication

After this they're holding my El encashment which was of 16 days saying they've cash crunch and have held for everyone but this decision was made almost 20 days after I left and they simply said we're not paying this to you

I'd ex-gratia/bonus in my CTC which had to be paid after I complete my 6 months but they denied that too

So the total f&f they've proposed is almost 50% of what was expected. 

What can I do in this situation and what should I do?

Feel like scammed by a Chai chain

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

My manager went on a vacation. She came back and had a meeting on some ongoing issue. I asked her "How was your vacation?" ( it was a 9 day vacation). She said: Umm, leave that and let's talk about the issue.I was like okay okay! It would have been nice to atleast say in a short sentence - was a nice trip, lets talk about the issue though. Am I overthinking? Or was that a douche move and ignore my question where I was being nice to her. CTC: 19 LPA

How should I handle this situation?

How to look know how much CTC I deserve (I am A fresher)

I've recently got an offer from a Unicorn Startup, and they pay pretty well (My friends do work there) 
But I'm getting lowballed. They're offering only 50% of what they offer, and even after having so many calls, they're at max pushing it to 70%, which doesn't make sense to me. 
They are claiming my Current CTC & saying they can only offer a 30% hike. I don't even get that point. 
 I think ur new CTC shouldn't be based on your previous especially if you are already paying so much to others. Getting less than what my juniors are earning in the same position, baffles me. 

How do I move forward? I've clearly said that I'm only interested in this amount of money. At the same time, I feel it's better than what I make right now (not much better tho, because WFH vs WFO) I'm okayishhh with the work I do, but the brand name is also a valid concern (I do have a few brand names in my Resume, and that does actually impact) 

How do I push more? 
I've clearly told them that this is what you pay & they accept it but constantly raise my Current CTC as their brahmastra. Also, I don't like the tone she's talking with (repeatitvely making me feel inferior about current CTC & my less exp & all),  nor do I want to lose my temperament

Also one question, they've asked me for the Offer letter, and I have stupidly handed it to them. Is that a norm? What to do in that case next time? 
I already told them before interviewing how much base I'm expecting.. And they said it would depend on your interviews (where I'm a strong hire) & CTC. And now they're behaving weirdly. 

What to do!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Was laid off, took a pay cut to join this (maybe desperation took better of me)
Now the workload is too much, the founder cracks disrespectful jokes, and vibes are just too off

I am not enjoying the work
I was detesting going to work the first Monday itself 😔 

This is also not aligned to how I imagined my life, off the track really

Should I resign?

Less than a month in new job, I feel stuck. Should I resign?

Corporate Strategist

I have been working as Technical Support consultant for 1.5 yrs here at Adobe and in total I have 4 years of experience I want to leave support and transition to a future proof role which consists of good job opportunities and good compensation.
I have been looking at courses related to AI & Ml but I don't have any prior experience with any programming language than Html and also I am not from CS or even engineering background I am a management graduate.
Please suggest what should be my future course of action to achieve this or anything else that I could also check other than AI and Ml please suggest.

Where to go?

Technical Support

Hi folks! Cracked interview and got Offer letter too from Accenture but the CTC which discussed on call and which I received both are totally different. What should I do? And that HE is not answering call or mails. I dnt have any other way to talk with team and moreover if we won’t accept offer in 7 days it won’t valid after that. 
Does any one faced this kind of situation?

CTC differs

On another similar platform, Blind, there are unspoken rules, one of which is TC or GTFO. As an OP, you are required to share your TC and YOE in your post; otherwise, community members may choose not to participate. This practice proves beneficial in understanding industry pay culture.

Why we don't have culture of TC or GTFO culture on Grapevine?

Is IIT IIM tag worth it? I hear it works in the matrimony market if not in the job market

What should my strategy be if I want to 4x my current salary (let's say go from 7LPA to approx 30LPA) in the next 4-5 years? Is this a realistic expectation to have moving forward? With regards to my work ex; I started off my career with sales, worked for 7 months, left the job, upskilled myself a little bit and landed a product manager role. So in total I have about a year of experience (7 months in sales and rest out it as a pm). Also I have a engineerring background and have also completed my MBA, both of them from tier 2 colleges.

Need more CTC

I have 13.5 years of experience as Senior Data Engineer, current CTC close to 37.5 lpa (including bonus). How much can I expect in Big4?

How reduce the gratuity percentage in Infosys, so that less amount from CTC is deducted for gratuity?

How to reduce Gratuity in Infosys

First of all - We need a catchy phrase for Tax, because tax or TDS is too middle class. Let's say DGT - Direct Government Taxes. 

For example, if you're getting a 30% hike, we must say hike of 20% + DGT. 

Same way, your salary of 30LPA should be announced as 20LPA + DGT. Assume everyone has 7LPA income from ancestral FDs and rents and other stuff, and everyone is in 30% tax bracket by default. 

WDYT?

Let's start normalising CTC excluding TDS

What is wrong with these colleges, hearing this for the first time.

Thoughts? Colleges asking for a fee to get placed? Damn that’s a new low. 😔🫠

I have recently been offered Architect/Tech Lead position at TCS. I did some research and found I might get C3A level. I will be working on AI ML Domain (Generative AI). How much salary Can I Negotiate for I am currently have 20 LPA salary (17 fixed). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't know anyone working in TCS hence asking in this forum

TCS folks please Assemble and Help!!
