Hi everyone,
I'm in a bit of a dilemma and could really use your advice. Here’s my situation:
I currently work at TCS (Grade: C1) with 3 years of experience and a CTC of 4–5 LPA.
I recently received an offer from a new company with a CTC of 17.5 LPA.
However, TCS has come back with an onsite offer to a European country (one with pounds currency).
Details:
The new company expects me to join in January 2025.
The CTC is significantly higher, but I'll need to figure out how to be free from TCS in January, as my notice period means my last working day at TCS would be in March 2025.
TCS hasn't provided a counteroffer to match the CTC of the new company because currently tcs is stopped the process of hiring promotions regaining etc.
Onsite salary details will only be disclosed after the visa process, as per TCS policy.
The potential onsite experience in Europe is tempting, but I’m unsure if it’s worth staying given the higher CTC elsewhere.
My Challenges:
Should I stick with TCS for the onsite experience, even though the new company's offer is significantly better?
How can I negotiate with TCS or plan my exit early to meet the new company’s January joining date?
I’m aware that onsite opportunities can be invaluable for exposure and future prospects, but the uncertainty around the onsite salary and timeline is making it hard to decide. On the other hand, the new role offers a huge jump in CTC and perhaps better growth.
What would you do in my situation? I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences in similar scenarios.
Also if possible please let me know when they will start matching the CTC offers, from January or more than that?
Thanks in advance!
@WorldlyGrief - Speaking from experience it's a bluff and nothing else. Recently the UK & Eroupe cost of living has increased, and to match it TCS has raised the bar and now C2 and above are eligible for onsite to UK & Eroupe. Now coming to facts as well, say you stay in TCS and got onsite as well, you will get say INR4,00,000 per month out of which around INR3,00,000 you will spend there for survival only left with INR1,00,000 and potentially your annual brand will start dipping. If i would be in your situation i would pefer to go with switch and try to either buy the more time in new company or get early release.
Also please tell me any idea getting release in January instead of waiting till March noticed period
Speak with your project manager and HRBP and exit HR, they may help but you need to put project stakeholders in confidence as at last HRs will say if project allows we will allow you to buy notice period.
Bro I was also in same situation as yours, when I resigned, tcs threw same onsite to Europe lolipop to me too and honestly it's just a bogus offer. When I confronted them and asked them to give in writing, guess what, they never came back with offer. So go with new offer instead of being in tcs or else you may regret for few more years
Thanks Bro but I have confirmation mail and next week they will initiate visa. So should I wait and process visa because next week I will get the confirmation not too much long time promise or Reject it?
Bro please help me to know the onsite salary before the proces please let me know?
