What salary can I expect with 7 YOE in Mainframes Tech with current CTC of 14.5 LPA(12 fixed).

Application Analyst

Job Accounting information usually defines a person or department to whom processor time is billed for mainframe job execution.

This value varies from project to project and company to company. It totally depends on the guidelines set by the company.



This accounting information value is generally a number, but it may consist of multiple pieces of information and not just a single 

as it is set as per company guidelines. Its value depends on that. The accounting information is passed on the JOB statement, not the EXEC statement.





Below are a few examples--



Example 1:



//JOB1 JOB A123-1212



Example 2:



//JOB2 JOB (A123-1212,'11/12/99')

I have been working for 2 years at an Indian telecom company. I am mainly writing code in C for real time sensitive devices. So my experience is low level coding in C and debugging.

Will I be able to get more jobs based on this experience and domain? So should I switch my domain? If yes, then any domain suggestions?

My current fixed pay is 14LPA, AND THAT'S ALL I AM GETTING NOW.

Is C development good?

Let's Mainframe! Important Interview questions for a Mainframe developer

TCS or Capgemini?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I’m a 2022 grad, hit by onboarding delay for 8 months after graduation (during those time I grinded leetcode approx ~400 questions, learnt spring boot ) Recently I joined one of the WITCH companies which I was offered in 2021. I was trained in Java but now they put me into Mainframe project dealing with COBOL programming and DB2 and I’ve never felt this underconfident and worthless in life. I’m planning for MS in CS in 2024. Does this work experience help in anyway? Is a switch needed before I apply to masters? 
I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest me what to do.

System Engineer

Hello friends, PFA the compensation sheet for 25 lpa CTC for TCS. Can some please help me to calculate approx take home salary? Please consider 1.5 lacs standard 80C deduction and 26000 as HRA per month. 
No other deductions apart from mentioned in the sheet.

TCS - Need help to figure out Take Home salary

Got an offer for C3A role (total yoe - 9.8yrs) for  26lpa.
1) Should I try to get C3B role for my experience
2) For VP - there are 2 components listed
(i) Monthly Performance Pay - 15k
(ii) Performance Pay (Quarterly) - 22k
3) What is an emergency fund in TCS.?

I feel 17% VP (4.5L) in total CTC (26L) is too high. The HR said, this 15k monthly will be paid in full. And quarterly pay of 66k (22k x 3) will also be paid. Is this true or some deduction will be there?

Please let me know if this is the norm VP in TCS and share some tips to negotiate for more fixed pay..

TIA

Brand Marketing Manager

Hi all

I am currently working as a business analyst for about 6 months now. Earlier was in a back end development team but was underperforming as could not really figure out what to do. I don’t like coding. The current role suits me but I don’t know if it has a good future.

Current role - Analyse old product (old code) (understand the complete functionality)
Suggest enhancements if asked for by the client.
Give demos to on-site people/developers
Test the modernised version of the product (started very recently. Called “functional testing”)

Can I switch to a different company with a good jump in pay in future? I feel like the work I do is not really considered worthy and hence there is no growth in this field. 

Please suggest how to move forward. Would like to work for another year or two and then go for an MBA abroad.

Future seems bleak
