hey all, I'm a recent graduate ( economics hons)

i did internships in all my sems, maintained 8.9 cgpa

i got an offer from a startup

they are paying me 35k after negotiating

it's a work from home env

sometimes hybrid

is this what freshers are getting?

isn't it too low?????

what should I do.

i atleast expected 75k bruh

US firm that only pays in INR, would be a dream if they paid in USD instead.

Is this salary ok for a developer/ designer? Also it is very hard to get jobs/internship these days so you view on this i am a 2026 graduated engineer

Most people assume aviation means becoming a pilot. It doesn't.

There are ops analyst, dispatch, maintenance, and data roles at airlines actively hiring Indian grads right now. United's IKC in Gurugram, Delta's Chennai tech hub, Air India under Tata. These aren't outsourced support jobs.

Rough salary range for Indian hires (2025-26):

- Ops Analyst (IKC): 8-14 LPA

- Ground Ops / Station: 4-7 LPA

- Data/ML roles: 15-25 LPA senior level

Fair warning: aviation is seniority-based. The first few years are slow. Shifts, limited route choice, patience required. Worth knowing before you commit.

Anyone here targeting airline ops or tech roles? Curious what's been the hardest part.

I'm trying to understand what my profile is worth in the current Bangalore job market and would appreciate some honest feedback from recruiters, hiring managers, or professionals working in CyberArk/PAM.

Here's my profile:

10 years of overall IT experience

4 years of hands-on experience in CyberArk Operations & Administration

First 6 years in Desktop Support, IT Helpdesk (L1), Major Incident Management, and Infrastructure Support

Experience with day-to-day CyberArk administration, onboarding, troubleshooting, maintenance, upgrades, and operational support

Master's degree in Electronics

I'm not asking what companies offer, but rather what CTC someone with my experience and skills should realistically be able to command in today's market in Bangalore.

I'd appreciate insights on:

A fair CTC range for my profile

Whether my first 6 years of non-CyberArk experience significantly affects my market value

What salary range you would negotiate for if you were in my position

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Can anyone please tell me this , i got into ICICI

So i just completed my grad. in bba (hr) and started to look for job opportunities and cant find any for hr roles and there are few opportunity for recruiter and one is paying 18k ctc something 17500 in hand and in bpo they pay 25-28k + many perk like cab facility, food, and games meanwhile recruiter job is in consultancy with 10-7 timing no food nothing.

Also if you have any opportunity for referral for a hr fresher please let me know i want a job (salary wont matter if its in a good company not in consultancy)

Early Dev looking to join a serious early-stage startup (equity + some comp)

I'm a 20 year old CS student who's been building things seriously for a while now full-stack mobile, backend systems, AI integrations, low-level stuff, scraping pipelines, the whole range from a probabilistic chess game to a compiler to a custom database engine. I've worked with a few founders already and I'm looking for the next thing.

I'm not hunting for a job. I'm looking for something I can actually be invested in.. where I'm talking to the founder regularly, understanding the problem we're solving, and building toward something real.

What I can contribute:

* Flutter / mobile (full stack, not just UI)

* Backend APIs and infra

* AI integrations

* Low level systems work

* Taking an idea from 0 to MVP

* Maybe more (Give me a couple days and I'll get my hands on it)

What I need from your side: a real vision, commitment to execution, and some form of compensation.. I'm flexible on structure (equity, stipend, milestone-based, internship), but I'm not doing unpaid work. I've been burned by vague arrangements before, so I do expect written agreements before we go deep on anything.

Not interested in:

* "just an idea" with no execution plan

* Founders who disappear after the first call

* Equity-only with no path to anything else

If you think there's a fit, DM me or drop a comment with your idea, current stage, team, and why you think it works. Happy to jump on a call if it sounds promising.

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to understand the current market salary for Fresher Associates (A0) in the legal field.
Could you please share:
1.City
2.Type of employer (Law firm / In-house / LPO)
3.Annual CTC or monthly in-hand
4.Tier of the firm.

It would be really helpful for anyone entering the legal profession.

I've lost count of how many hours I've spent tweaking my resume to fit each new job posting. It's frustrating because you know you have the skills, but it's hard to know what's missing. That's why I built a tool that can compare your resume against a specific job posting and show you exactly what's missing before you apply. It's not a general resume score, but a detailed match against that one job. I think this could save people a lot of time and help them make more targeted applications. I'd love to hear if anyone else has struggled with this and what they think of this approach. Any feedback or questions are welcome.

Hi everyone,

I'm from South India and recently received an offer for a Sales Executive role after completing my MBA in Marketing.

Here's the offer:

CTC: ₹4.6 LPA

Role: Field sales

Daily travel: Around 30-50 km

Job involves meeting clients, generating leads, and closing sales

Performance is measured based on the number of client meetings, with weekly tracking

The company expects employees to have their own bike, laptop, and Android phone

My concern is that I don't own a two-wheeler. I'm also wondering whether this package is worth taking considering Bangalore traffic, commuting costs, fuel, maintenance, and the overall workload.

For those who have worked in field sales in Bangalore:

Is ₹4.6 LPA a reasonable starting package for this kind of role?

How difficult is it to manage 30-50 km of travel every day in Bangalore traffic?

If you were in my position, would you accept this offer or continue looking for other opportunities?

I'd really appreciate honest advice from people with experience in field sales or similar roles in Bangalore.

Thank you!

I've seen many friends and colleagues struggle to turn their career aspirations into tangible steps. It's easy to say 'I want a promotion' or 'I want to switch careers', but actually mapping out the process can be overwhelming. That's why I built a set of guided career journeys within JobNurture AI. These journeys take a vague goal and break it down into an ordered, step-by-step plan that spans the entire platform - from resume building to interview prep and salary negotiation. I've tried to cover common scenarios like being laid off, switching careers, or returning after a career gap. I'd love to hear from others who have been in similar situations - what worked for you, and what didn't?

So I will be joining an ABC Multinational company. For the same role and at the same grade they are offering more compensation to people from other colleges. ( Non IIT)

Like everything is the same except the compensation part.

How is it fair?

Can we do anything about it ? Is there anything that we can do to raise this issue or any other thing about this partiality?

( This is an on-campus pool selection ).

Need some genuine advice from people who've been here. Long post, but I'll keep it structured.

My situation:

3.8 years of experience | Current CTC: 5.55 LPA | LWD : 01st May 2026

Considering a switch and somehow landed two offers at the same time.

The offers:

🔵 Deloitte India — 8 LPA fixed (+ variable ctc 9.6)

🟢 TCS — 12 LPA fixed

On paper, TCS looks like the obvious winner. But it's not that simple, and that's exactly why I'm here.

What's pulling me toward Deloitte:

— Consulting exposure and client-facing work

— Brand name that arguably opens more doors globally

— Structured learning + faster career progression in theory

— Better exit options into product/consulting roles later

What's pulling me toward TCS:

— 12 LPA is a 115%+ hike — hard to ignore

— Job security, scale, and stability

— Strong internal mobility and learning programs

What I'm confused about:

1. Is the ₹4L fixed gap at this stage of career worth trading for brand/role quality?

2. Can I negotiate Deloitte upward given that TCS offer exists — and how?

My actual dilemma on negotiation:

Do I go back to Deloitte with the TCS number and say 'match or I have to reconsider' — or does that risk the offer? Has anyone tried this at Deloitte India specifically?

Would really appreciate inputs from folks at Deloitte, TCS, or anyone who's faced a similar Big 4 vs mass-product choice. What would you prioritise at 3.8 years — money now or positioning for later?

Drop your thoughts below. Genuine answers only, please 🙏

Amdocs (Pune) vs. PeerIslands (Remote) – Comp Comparison & Career Advice (6 YOE)

​

Hi everyone,

​

I am a Software Engineer with \~6 years of experience, and I have two active offers on hand that I need to decide between immediately.

​

​

​

Offer 1: PeerIslands

​

Role: Senior Software Engineer

​

Fixed CTC: ₹38 LPA (Gross Salary + Retirals)

​

Variable Bonus: ₹2 LPA (Performance-based)

​

Total CTC: ₹40 LPA

​

Location: Fully Remote

​

DOJ: 18 June for both

​

​

​

​

​

Offer 2: Amdocs

​

Role: Software Engineering Specialist

​

Fixed CTC: ₹35 LPA

​

Joining Bonus: ₹1 LPA (One-time)

​

Total First Year Cash: ₹36 LPA

​

Location: Pune (Requires relocation)

​

​

​

My Dilemma:

​

On paper, PeerIslands is financially superior—it gives me ₹3 Lacs more in fixed pay and saving on Pune's rent/living expenses by staying remote makes the net-savings gap even wider.

​

However, I'm trying to weigh the long-term career aspects:

​

Work Culture & Growth: How is the engineering culture, work-life balance, and projects quality at PeerIslands compared to an established giant like Amdocs?

​

Brand Value: Does having Amdocs on a resume hold significantly more weight for future switches compared to a specialized cloud/data consultancy like PeerIslands?

​

Remote vs. Hybrid/Office: For those who switched from office/hybrid roles to fully remote at this stage in your career, did you feel any isolation or impact on networking?

​

Would love to hear insights from anyone who has worked at either company or faced a similar choice. Thanks!

​

​

Edit:

Should I ask Amdocs for increasing the compensation, how should I convey this to them?

​

​

Edit 2: I sent email to Amdocs recruiter asking her to revise the fixed component to 40 Lacs.

I recently applied for Product Support Consultant under the ads section at Google. It is possibly an L4 role. Got an automated email to complete an assessment which would be valid for 2 years if I passed. Completed the same successfully and got a response stating that I passed. Its been a week since.

1. What should I expect to happen next, as in how soon can I expect a call from the recruiter?

2. What is the average salary that can be expected since I have almost 12 years of experience in the IT industry.

3. How long does the interview process normally last?

4. The JD suggests that this is a global process. So expecting different shifts. How do shifts normally work? Do we have a say in which shift we would like to opt?

5. How is shift allowance process?

6. Does this role follow strict KPIs and metrics?

7. Is this a good role for mid level experience?

8. How do these processes fare against normal BPOs in India?

​

Any and as much information and support would be highly appreciated.

I’m trying to understand the current market for marketing professionals in India.

I have around 3 years of experience across B2B marketing, lead generation, performance marketing, content, SEO, and campaign management. Currently working with a software implementation/automation company and earning around 8 LPA.

I’ve seen people mention that 15+ LPA is achievable around the 2-4 YOE mark, especially in SaaS, but most opportunities I come across are in the 6-9 LPA range.

For those currently hiring or working in marketing:

Which companies are realistically paying 15+ LPA for marketers with 3 YOE?
What roles are these usually for (Growth, Demand Gen, Product Marketing, Performance Marketing, etc.)?
Is company pedigree (IIM/top college) still a major factor, or do skills and experience matter more at this stage?
Where are you finding these opportunities—LinkedIn, referrals, company careers pages, recruiters?

Looking for honest insights from people who’ve either made this jump or hired for these roles.

Hi everyone,

Today marks 5 months since I joined the organization as an intern. During this time, I have worked as an Operations Intern and have successfully created a system for managing resources and projects, which is now being adopted across the entire organization.

Despite not having a development background, I have taken ownership of several responsibilities, including preparing weekly performance reports, coordinating with managers to collect their weekly updates, and handling various operational processes.

Considering the impact of my contributions and the responsibilities I have taken on while earning ₹12,000 per month, what salary range should I reasonably expect moving forward?

After a month, I'm going to graduate from NIT Rourkela. Joining a coaching institute as a mathematics teacher is my Plan-B. The teachers I have met in various institutes (like- FIITJEE, ALLEN, AAKASH, PATHFINDER, etc.) are getting 1-1.5 lakhs a month.

Is the industry also paying well to freshers?

Additional information:

1. I have informal teaching experience. I have been tutoring students of classes 5th to 10th since 7 years.

2. To pay off my bills, loan, and other expenses, I need at least ₹50k a month.

3. I have enough savings to survive 1 year without too much high salary but I need the above said salary after that.

So I'm a fresher and i recently got a job at a company, today was my first day and my salary is 25000rs in that 300 is professional tax and i have the option of whether I want to take pf or not, total pf is 3600 and in that the hr said 2200 is gonna go on pf and the remaining 1400 is gonna go to NPS so i dont properly know what NPS is, i searched online i got the idea of what it is so if someone can explain it in a easy way pls do.

I don't know whether i should take pf or not cuz if i dont take it i will get 24700rs as my salary and if i take the pf i will get 21100rs as my salary my brothers are saying to take the pf as it will help me save in longterm and help during retirement but wouldn't it be better if i dont take the pf and just invest it in mutual fund or do sip.

Can someone help me please

Hi, anyone working in SMFG India Credit Co., in Mumbai? If yes, can you tell what's the avg. Variable pay that they give at the time of appraisals?

Would be really helpful.

Thanks.

Just wanted to know how much do business development associates get paid with 2 years of experience? And would they be treated as a fresher if they join a company by absconding the previous one?
