Lowest paid, least respected, Why?

After talking to multiple friends. Here is the ranking// 1. Accenture: Probably the best of WITCHA squad, WLB is okay and clients are probably better than what you would get in other companies. Your mileage may vary but pay and career progression is better than the rest. 2. Cognizant: Not half as bad. Decent clients and sub-par pay but why are they even sponsoring an F1 team? Very vanilla and don't feel strongly about it. 3. Capgemini: Now this is where it begins. The company is okay. The pay is sub-par and WLB is shit. But they are a professional bunch and won't gang up on you like the ones below in this list. 4. TCS: Now this is the OG of the gang,. The WLB is shit and the pay is much worse but for key advance tech you can get paid decently well. HR has a tendency to pay Rs.10 more than your current CTC if it is a run of the mill role but what can i say "it is just the bare minimum in this industry now." 5. Infosys: Sorry but the Murthy Family white-washing their image with all this paid PR while underpaying their employees is the absolute hypocrisy. Shit policies and Shit pay. Have worked here before and working here made a small part of me die every single day here. 6. Wipro: Either their pitching team is shit or what but they can only win the absolute worst projects. It is still okay if you work at AI Labs or other small teams with better resources and leverage. The hikes here are non-existent and as per my friends you would be non bench for quite long because their staffing team is yuck. 7. HCL: The worst for the last. This is the real cesspool of them all. Somehow they get the worst of the worst projects, where support work is the max with no documentation on any of these projects. They once offered a friend of mine lower pay than current salary and effectively said that you are overpaid and this is market standards. I would rather work for no pay at a startup than HCL.

Tech spending has gone UP by a lot. These companies are playing on the USDINR arbitrage and still will choose to pay you peanuts so that they can enjoy insane profit margins in this business. You are literally being treated like a daily wage labourer here, the only difference is you are dressed up in formals. Let this be your call to start something new or switch jobs.

Hiring for a bunch of roles for an early stage startup. Salaries of people who have been laid off is through the roof 2-3 years experience asking for 30-40l and while we chose not to judge the experience and spoke to a few of them, most of them are not even worth half of the pay. Many are jobless since last 2-3 months and none of them are willing to take a paycut of even 5-6L and are willing to stay jobless ( probably have a ton of savings ) Market correction is necessary. Roles : PM, software engineers, generalists

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

Like food (free or not), insurance and other stuff

😒

An HR from Infosys just contacted me on WhatsApp and asked about my details I told them I am comfortable talking on a call rather because I will explain better about my past job profile and other details and that shameless person showed attitude and blocked me.

As expected, with below par FY23 results , Accenture India have announced no base pay increase this year and considerably low bonus at all levels. High accumulation of top levels, high stakes acquisitions last year and some failed decisions are leading to this state where employees are getting financially impacted. While rest of the IT companies in India are seeing inclined growth, and sharing good increments this year (Wipro etc) , Accenture has decided to compromise on employee attrition.
