CTC, fixed and variable pay, monthly in hand salary, joining bonus, other T&C

Thanks, can you say more about T&C? About bonds and documents, do we need to submit them?

No don’t submit any original documents, better not to sign any bond. Look for better opportunities in terms of leaning and compensation.

Also check how have the layoffs been globally and locally for the company. And the publicly available financials of at least two years. They should have enough funds (and hopefully growing year on year) to afford your employment for as long as you want.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I was working in a product based company with a CTC of 15 LPA , I joined as a fresher , but due to restructuring , got layed off around May. 

I thought maybe i will go for Masters abroad , that is still in process , the application date opens on 1st December. 
Meanwhile i was looking for other opportunities , but even after applying a lot , got around 2,3 interview calls.  Converted one of them but did not opt because they were lowballing citing different situations.

So i request senior developers and engineers to guide me on what should i do different or should learn any new tech stack that can boost my chances.

I have 2.3 YOE , mainly worked on React Js and Next Js , have good grasp of Java script and Typescript . I have decent DSA knowledge , having solved around 200 questions on  leet code.

Some guidance required

While accepting an offer
Every employee fresher or experienced

Stop just looking at money and demand quality of work life also

But first...

Associate Consultant

I have been aggressively applying for jobs in the last 2 months however I have not even received 1 interview call. I have spoken to others and they have told me that it should be my resume. 

I am bad at writing or self promotion which is essential in making first impression. After not getting any calls I am comprehending wether to get resume writes in LinkedIn to help me, I feel job hunting should be a complete self job rather than outsourcing part of it, maybe I am out of touch as my last job hunt happened 6 years ago.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Right now I am looking for a new job because of a layoff in my own company. I have recently applied for a new job. I didn't get a hike and they even decreased the basic pay in their shared CTC Structure. The in-hand is the same as my previous company but my basic salary is impacted. Should I accept the offer or let it go?

I recently started interviewing after a period of about 5 years and I am very surprised about the change in the way interviews are conducted these days. I have now interviewed for few companies like Sitetracker, Avance Clinical, Iron Mountain and expedite commerce and each organisation had their first round as a fit check round which i’m unable to clear. Can you guys share some tips around it.

Hey All,

I’m going to have meeting with HR regarding  PIP next week. There I need to take decision whether I have to resign and take 4 months pay or whether I have to go with PIP plan and perform certain tasks for 2 months what they will decide and evaluate.
I’m a bit confused what option should I need to opt.
I’m looking for jobs but didn’t receive any calls till now but I’m actively applying.

From many people I’ve heard that in PIP they are giving hard to achieve tasks and pressurising to resign else if got fail in PIP, they will terminate and will give termination letter instead of relieving letter.
What option should I opt , considering all the possibilities and current market situation?

P.S - I have 2 YOE in front end development 

Suggestions from experience would be highly appreciated and can help me.

Hey folks,

Today was the date of Onboarding for my new job. For the past few weeks, I have given interviews and negotiated with two companies. The later company only matched the first offer so I naturally went with the first one.

Now, on the date of Onboarding, they called me and increased the offer which is making the same interesting.

I have not been given any company's assets on my day 1 today. Can I still make the switch now ? Also need your advice on whether I should switch ?

Thanks in advance.

Business Associate

In August, I joined a new organization following the closure of my previous one. Things are going exceptionally well – my manager is pleased with my performance, and I'm learning a great deal. Workload is manageable, and during a casual web browse, I discovered high-paying job openings in my field. Now, I'm contemplating whether pursuing interviews is the right move, given the rare opportunities. I've had one-year stints at two previous companies; I'm curious about the potential impact on my career. Appreciate your insights.

Considering leaving my recent job for a higher-paying opportunity – thoughts?

Frontend Engineer

I got through the interview process for a few companies for the lead PM role and what I am seeing is that they are asking for previous offer letter/appraisal letter, pay slip for 3months, other documents.


Is it normal for companies to ask for these documents before sharing offer letter...

Is it normal for recruiter to ask for payslip, previous offer letter etc. Before sharing the offer letter?

I had a 6 month internship, and now I showed in my resume as Full time job, and got the offer. Will there be any problem in faking payslip?

If I fake internship as Fulltime experience, any problem?

Hi everyone, I am a 2023 graduate from tier 3 college currently working in a service based company but I am not really satisfied with it because I believe I could have grabbed better opportunities in campus placement but due to stupid rule of TPO they did not let me seat for further companies and I want to learn new technologies but I am not really getting opportunity here. So, i am looking for better opportunities.Anyone got suggestions where to apply and what to prepare. Also should I do any certification .

Asking for advice

If i landed a any offer so how smarty i can move to take it forward - 

Incident happened with my acquaintance - Once HR Called my acquaintance so acquaintance discussed CTC only and Joined the Company but after 1 Month HR Called for Offer Letter Collection so my acquaintance shocked because there were 3 months Notice Period

So is there any Steps like

HR Called- First Rough CTC Discussion - Ask for Company Agreement & T&C Etc

Please mention your experience. Thanks

Accepting a offer Process

UX/UI Designer

I’m dumbfounded when the best piece of advice I hear is that its a numbers game and probability is supreme.
There’s got to be a strategy that one applies to shortlist from the ocean of offers out there.

- applying in the same domain as your current company?
- platform or regions where recruiters are more active?
- directly talking to freelance HMs and doing a deal?

If no hack, just share what worked for you? And how are you optimising the job searching?

Give me your best strategies for job hunting?

1. Accept that it's a numbers game. Especially in this market  
 2. Embrace that there may be a super stupid person on the other side . E.G - My CV was rejected at a big Web3  startup, but I persisted : went through a reference spoke to HR and showed her how the CV is a 90%+ Match. She ended up fixing an interview. What if I didn't have a referral? Jata na 
 3. There is only one hack - get that CV in front of the hiring managers face : through referrals, through problem solution one pagers that I've DM'd directly to founders or hiring managers, consistently applying to the widest net, getting friendly and maintaining good relations with head hunters: I've helped so many head hunters with their other mandates unrelated to me, just for the sake of it. No expectations.  
  
 DESPITE throwing such a wide net, it still is roughly taking me 9-10 months for my next gig. Sure I'm looking at leadership mandates and woh roles by default halway mein nahi khatam hote.  
  
 But play the numbers smartly is the only way. Send a 100 tries out (but customized and personalized not spam) and tab hi kaam karega.

Brand Marketing Manager

I encounter a lot of job openings which require some experience, say 1 year or 2 years. Even though I feel I would be a great fit being a fresher and someone with little experience (goggle summer of code and only intern experiences), I end up not applying as it would need a referral and I would possibly be wasting time of the person who would be giving me referral as possibly my application might not even get considered (as I fail the experience benchmark). Can anyone suggest what should I do? Is there a strong cap about the experience required ?
