What is your Salary and YOE ? Are you satisfied with the progress you have achieved so far ?

Satisfied with TC ?

I finally got a job offer after being jobless for around 7-8 months now. But the company is offering me the same CTC I was previously drawing. Reasons they sighted were that I've been jobless for a long period now. Is this normal?
The company is good. Has a good set of customers. Has raised good funding recently. Team seems to be good as well. But its the CTC that I'm unsure about.

What to do ?! 

P.S. my prev CTC was also entry level pay, say 40k in hand on avg after all deductions.

Jobless: Now getting same CTC as 8 months ago.

Will the recession conditions will be alright around then? If any of your friends or relatives are working there or if you have any idea so please help me out I am a fresher, don't have a full time job right now doing internship will apply for only the top universities in US, I will get in most likely as per my profile. But is it recommendable to go in 2025 because people are not getting and jobs or internships there at all. Even from good colleges. Or should I stay here and prepare for GATE.

Should I go for MS in USA for fall 2025 intake?

I have 10+ years of experience in PR and I’m currently working with an Indian startup. The startup is doing ok given the marker conditions (just ok) so I only got a 13% appraisal last year and my CTC is now 26L. Is this too low or is it okay?

Is my CTC ok?

Hello everyone,  So I am an ML intern and a 2024 cs graduate, I have been doing internships since 3rd year of my engineering  and right now I am interning at an startup since 1 year and I don't have any full time offer as of now and the startup where I am interning is also not talking about full time offer, so what should I do now, ask for increment in stipend, ask for full time offer(talked to them in December, HR told will see when in April may, when we will raise funding, he also added "consider that you will not get" but I still kept interning) or keep applying at other places?

Should I ask for increase in stipend as I have completed 1 year?

Hello Folks! 
I'm a newbie on this platform, yet trying to put my insights as much as possible. Here to ask people out there who work in IT sector about how is the market going so far and when will this recession get down? To the on-campus and off-campus placed students, how did you manage to get placed even during the recession. Although the placements at our college is still on but only for Non-IT branches. I think the only people who are happy about the recession would be Non-IT people who have less competition and are getting placed at the core companies.

Recession

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? 

If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? 

Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

Job Market right now in India?

It is really bad right now 
 1. Layoffs in many of the companies, irrespective of whether they're a startup or a big MnC. 
 2. Almost everyone I know of wants to switch, because of no/less appraisals from last 2 years 
 3. Bad work life balance - people thinks switching might help 
 4. Too much competition for any open position. Because of too much supply, companies are low-balling and people would accept the offer.  
  
 Recruiters ghosting is too common. Even if you've killed in your interviews and recruiters get someone who's ready to join on less pay, they'll simply ghost you.

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out for advice on a challenging situation I'm facing regarding my employment bond. Here's what happened:

During my college placement, I was selected by a company for a developer role with a promised CTC of 3 LPA. Two days later, I was called to their office where the HR informed me that the CTC was "up to" 3 LPA, not exactly 3 LPA. Despite this, I accepted the offer and signed a bond for two years (including a six-month internship), also providing a cheque for 1 Lac as a security deposit.

Now, as my internship is nearing completion, there's a final review meeting scheduled where they will restructure the CTC. During my internship, I learned from existing employees that the company is notorious for poor salary growth and minimal hikes. I feel trapped by the "up to" scheme and am worried about my future with this company.

I'm seeking advice on how to navigate this situation and, if possible, save my 1 Lac cheque. Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Seeking advice on employment bond

Guys, need a quick descriptive help here. I applied to the position of senior profile for which in 1st round only they gave asked youe CTC expectation and at what CTC you will not go beyond. I shared my CTC and after 3 days I got an mail stating that my candidature got rejected because they will not be able to pay that CTC which is market standard that i asked. Now, i want to work in that company because profile is good and will help to draft my career and i am ready to decrease my CTC expectation also. 

My problem is how do I portray over mail and what pointers i should be adding to convey them to consider my profile for next round of interview as i am ready to work at lesser CTC (asked 3x of my curent CTC when lastly was discussed). 

Note: HR didn't asked my my current CTC . She directly asked expectations and at what CTC you will not go beyond.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Since the start of this month, I have been applying for different opportunities but haven't received a response from any of them. I am currently a backend developer with 3.5 years of experience at a Fortune 30 company and have been promoted for two consecutive years. I also don't want to use referrals right now because I'm completely unprepared. If you are in job hunt please share your experience.

Is market really bad?

I am working in an Indian MNC as technical lead with 10+ years of experience. My CTC is 24 lpa and for last two years I don't get any increment. This year my manager give me good rating but I am not sure if they will provide any increment or not. So,
1. As per the market is my salary is high or low  compared to my exp?
2. Also not getting any external calls now. When the market will be better for exp employees?
Plz comment.

Current job market for exp professionals.

Tech Lead

Since we are seeing a lot of layoffs, a lot of companies are using this as an excuse to provide less increment this year. Interested to know what sort of increments are you’ll getting this year and how much did you get last year?

Increment this year?

I got a good hike this year. Around 34% mostly because I got promoted and my hike in the previous year was shit. I work in finance

Analyst

Product Owner

I see jobs being there, but even the entry level jobs are requiring experience. I saw a associate level job posting on linkedin for a startup asking for 4-6 years experience. This is in line with the recent article at The KEN.

Are people really ready to work for low salary for high skills? 
What does this mean for the freshers, job switchers/career switchers? Are we all doomed for now?

What's your take on the market?

What's happening with the job market?
