Advice Needed !!

Hi Everyone!

Going through a tough phase of life. Been working in Tcs for the last 3.8 years. Growth was good here compared to others. Was employed at 3.36 as a fresher and the current ctc is of around 10 and received the promotion to c2 too. My mother got cancer around 3 years back in 2022. Her chemotherapy has been going for the last 3 years. The doctor gave her 5 years after it was diagnosed and she's facing so many issues that I don't dare wish it on anyone. I have taken a wfo exception frm this month ( went to the office first in 2024). I feel like I am earning too low and need to improve. But the issue is Tcs insurance covers the treatment cost to some extent. I still have to pay like 7-8 lacs per year but around 22 lacs is covered by insurance. I have doubts whether I should change the firm or not. Whether I'll get Insurance for a pre-existing disease of a parent or not. This is just one thing. I am not able to study, can't even forcefully do that. I also have too many health issues like ra, tmj. The feeling of not being able to do anything is eating me. My main concern is money but I am stuck and not able to do anything. Any advice, suggestions are welcome !

Speaking from personal experience, my mil was a cancer patient.

  1. Changing company to get better medical insurance coverage is not a good idea unless it's FAANG MAANG deloitte. And tcs insurance coverage is better when compared to few others company
  2. Look for insurance covering cancer. the premium might be high but still useful. Be careful and read all the terms while buying the insurance.
  3. Mostly importantly stay strong. May god give more strength to you and your mother.

If you leave , there are very less employers who still support the medical stuff but very very few and I think tcs is not one of them ,so most likely you will loose that 22 , my suggestion stay put for a while coz you will go under debt for one and second no 1 will take pre existing patient is what I think coz the insurance people are here to make money , not become fairy God mother to help everyone
All the good luck and strength to you buddy
Stay put; don't even think about money
Spend time with mom 👩 💕

I feel you should continue to stay at tcs. Tcs has liberal health insurance policies.

Talk to medibuddy, if you can continue this policy after office or not. Premium might increase that you can cover with new salary but you don't need to wait for waiting period to end. I am not sure just a suggestion to try.
