I had joined Infy some time back. What if I only switch within WITCH and stick to it. Will it affect my career negatively.
Let’s say I join a WITCH company as a fresher and don’t switch and stick to it. How will the career progression look like?
Starting your career in service companies like WITCH can be a practical stepping stone, offering foundational skills in technology, processes, and soft skills. However, for substantial career growth and higher salary prospects, exploring opportunities beyond these firms is important after gaining initial experience. Transitioning to roles in product companies or specialized tech firms can lead to more challenging work and better compensation.
No point in doing a 6-8LPA job as a fresher or 25LPA as a senior. If you need an onsite opportunity and are happy to settle for less in your youth. It may suit you.
PS: I respond to all questions related to career guidance.
Are you a good looking female? If yes, there is no need to worry about career progression. Managers will fall over each other to make it happen.
I started my career with Infy and was with them for 5 years. Let me give you a brief of my experience.
My primary reason for sticking with Infy was:
The salary wasn’t great. Started with 3.25lpa out of college, which seemed good for a tier3 grad. Received double digit hikes for the first 2 years as my ratings were good.
Infy follows a strict role tenure in terms of promotion. For progressing from the starting Systems Engg to a Tech Analyst, you need atleast 3yoe. I got promoted at 3.5yoe.
Next promotion would happen after 7yoe to Team lead. Salary was around 6lpa this time around. Project work was stagnant and my visa didn’t go thru the H1B lottery. So I decided to switch.
Many people were content with sticking to Infy for the entire length of their career, but for most of them, financial aspect wasn’t much of an issue.
I’d not suggest to stay in WITCH for a prolonged period. Firstly, the pay is sub standard. And there are a lot of restrictions in terms of remote work, leave policies etc that are very open and lenient in other bigger firms.
My career has grown exponentially since I left Infy. I had a good time there, but also think it was necessary to move out when I did.
Hope I was able to answer your question.

Let’s say someone with 3 yoe and a salary of 20+ LPA switches to a WITCH company. Would they match the old salary or offer a lower salary?
The reason I ask is because WITCH would not offer that kind of salary to an existing employee, wo...
