@igotyou Why does the remote job pay 40% less compared to the one going to the office?  Are the work hours requirements different, where you have to work less in the remote job?

I read online that remote jobs are not that great especially for freshers. What are your views on this?

And which one should I prefer? Remote job pays 40% less.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Folks,

This is my first post. I wanted your input on switching my completely in-office job (mandatory 5 days in office with zero scope for WFH unless for emergencies). 

I’m looking for a remote-first company and willing to switch for 35-40% hike from my current CTC.

I’m holding another job offer currently (30%hike) - during the initial screening they offered me Hybrid but after interviews they stated it’s mandatory WFO. 

Can anyone advise how the markets are looking and what expectations I should hold on to while on the job hunt?  Any referrals in a remote-first organisation  would be much appreciated.

Location: Bangalore
Expectation: Remote or Hybrid but location needs to be in Mumbai.

Thanks folks for reading on till now!

25M, CSM role

I have offers from 2 companies. Both are companies I admire and have managed them as a CSM in my current company and have excellent relationships. I’ve interviewed for both and the pay is what I expected however which one should I go with?
Company A- 100% remote
Company B- I admire this a bit more. When I asked for making an exception to let me do remote the founder said if I can move to Chennai for 6 months to get in sync with product/team and then go remote we can move forward.

I have notions about moving to Chennai. If it was remote I would blindly select B.

Confused right now which one to go with. I have some borrowed and some experienced notions about Chennai + I moved to BLR just in April 2024

Which offer should I go with?

Customer Success

I recently got a job offer at a well-funded remote startup headquartered in the US as a DevOps engineer. They adjust the salary package to account for the country so I won't be earning in crores... but I wanted to ask people who are in remote positions as to how to negotiate a salary that will be rigid more or less,no options are there to negotiate till a super high margin (maybe 10% max).

For example, they are offering 33 LPA currently, does that put me in a higher tax bracket and can I negotiate for a lower compensation so that I can be put in a lower tax bracket, say I ask for 29 LPA and ask for a joining bonus (or HRA) or some restructuring to do that? 

I don't understand how taxes work in India especially with remote payments but I'm hoping someone can offer the right guidance and resources so that I can look into this in depth later on as well. This is my first ever job and I got it straight out of college, so I do not mind even if they are paying me less than their US counterparts. This salary is more than enough to survive in a tier 2 city (will be shifting back to live with my parents).

I don't have much investments right nos, just a couple of FDs and some equity + debt funds along with stocks (mostly banks + chemical companies here and there). I can look into ELSS funds and what not if that can save up some taxes. I am considering talking to a CA about this too.

(Note: not comfortable with naming it even if this is an anonymous platform because it has like a strength of 50 and I feel it is irrelevant to the discussion).

TIA!

Tax savings and salary question for remote jobs

Scrum Master

Hi all, 

I'm a PM with 3 years of B2C experience working at a mid sized startup. I recently joined and the toxic culture around being at office all the time is taking a toll on me. The founder is unwilling to even consider medical / health related issues for giving WFH and deliberately schedules meetings at 7-7:30 PM so that people stay longer hours. 

HR never told me about such strict aversion to WFH or flexible timings during hiring and now I feel stuck. Unfortunately, I have heard it's the same with a lot of companies - even big sized unicorns. 

I have now decided to only and exclusively be open to remote jobs coming from US/EU startups even if they happen to pay me lesser. If you're someone who's in similar company, can you please tell me the process of how you cracked it? And if there's an opening somewhere, would you be willing to refer me?

Thanks a lot

People who have gotten remote PM jobs - How?

I would like to know what are the ways that freshers can follow in order to land a High paying remote job. Any websites out there where folks can apply for technical roles would be very much appreciated!!!!

How to land a high paying Remote job as a fresher in software engineering?

I've seen so many job descriptions. Most of these global companies who have offices everywhere in the world; they give an option to work remotely for almost all countries except India. 

Take this company for example. They have remote options on every location. However, in India they want 3 days per week mandatory hybrid. Why is that? Why can't they provide remote for India branches too? Or make every other location as onsite/hybrid.

Why do these global companies doesn't provide remote options for India?

Analyst

I received an offer from a US based AI startup which is a service based company offering services of clients in PE space they are giving me a raise only about 1L above my current package 
The position is fully remote 

How should I judge this? As it's not better in terms of money but opportunity is good I think I would get to learn much in AI space which is plus and another plus is it's a fully remote

Thanks,

Need Advice on Offer

Hello folks,
So I got an offer from a US based product company for remote role for Product designer.

This company just raised a seed funding.

They don’t have any office in India but their tech team and some of the people from leadership team (CxOs) are from India.

I’m confused whether to go with this offer or not.

Reason: 
1. Their interview process was too good to be true, it was very quick, no assignments given, they just saw the portfolio, ask some process related questions and then they agreed to give offer.

2. It’s a pure remote company with no plans to build office in India in coming future.

3. They have very small team, I’ll be working as 2nd designer only.

4. As per the current job market, I’m afraid about their future.

YOE : 3yrs
Hike that I’m getting is 50%

Help a fellow UX designer decide whether to go with this or not.

Need help to decide about job offer.
