If you are not getting proper hike and your skill is worth market standards, simply switch the company and put the resignation. Don't wait for someone to rate you. You are the best person to rate yourself because you know your limits.
One more factor ...keep looking for relevant opportunities in other companies.....if you stay in the same company for a long time you lose value and company takes you for granted....no hike and no growth... This is the truth which most of HRs will not share...
Staying long in the same company you will be undervalued unless you have an offer in hand. Else they assume your skills are outdated and you have no value in market. (Loyalty just left the chat 😆)
1.Good project. 2.Work in a lot of projects in a same company. 3.Never waste time in backburner task. 4.Setting expectations with your incharge. 5.Upgrading skill.
sahi bol rhi hain ma'am. I have experienced this a lot. I started with 5 lacs, and through hard work and clear communication, and switching projects now I make 22 LPA. It may not be the best, but it's still higher than normal. Moreover, I switched to a dev profile from a QA profile. So guys, do follow this advice.
2 years 10 months. Got an increment every 6 months (5 - 6 - 8.8 - 11.15 - 14.75) and then switched to 22lpa. Though I had to be vocal at org1 about getting good hike. Note that both orgs are product based.
I can agree on each point here. Like after a decade of experience This was the actual takeaway.... really important is to switch projects internally... salary also increases, you get good technology to work and your resume also dont get wrongly impact
This is not entirely true. A lot of companies dont pay a fat package and the difference isn't worth investing the extra time, I'd rather work on health, eat better food etc than prospering professionally which is just how its made to look like but being in higher post is not fun stuff.
All this advice does not hold much ground. The best thing to do if one has to grow financially is simple, while on the job, focus on acquiring a skill set, then jump companies do not stick to one organisation. Those days are gone. Somebody has said to love the work you do, not the organisation, as the organisation will never love you. The advice is sound, theoretically. Many managers do not know how to balance their job between Management and the employees. This is the root problem. They land up satisfying their aspirations. In that process, one gets sacrificed for shure.
I completely agree with point no. 4 that set expectations with your manager at the start of the new year because I have seen a major change in my last 2 appraisals because not only did I mention percentage but sometimes quoted where I would like to see my salary. Yes alongwith that I have been working hard and other references also have importance however I had that even in previous years but did not know that you need to demand as opposed to accept whatever you get. I ahve small regret of learning it late but better late than never!
In fact the same is true for PhD life. This level of congruence between relationship between Employee-Emploer vs Student-Supervisor is just surprisingly illuminating. It tells now how research work ethics are not different from working in a firm where the company expcets to meet their set of goals, just like a Supervisor will expect to publish a certain number of papers.
Whatever you have explained in the video, is only applicable to IT industry, in core industry pay and perks are very different, as here in core industry people don't have project related job activities, rather mostly there are routine activities, so your salary will grow consistently(like 10%/yr) but not exponentially.
Completely did agree with you . I showed best of capability and intellect and hard work intelligent work . Yet manger gave me the most redundant work but I fought and had a severe conflict and switched poroject . Now after 18 years I am peak of my profession most efficient practical and yet I tip toe people who earn more with not so diverse portfolio. It’s all company politics
Could you make a video on how to set expectations or how to ask for hike/promotion? In all the companies I have worked so far, I was working on the main flagship product/project, but always had hard time communicating regarding hike or promotion. I don't know how to start or when to say it or how to say it. I have been that "good girl" kind of a person who lets the manager value me based on quality of my work, but I have seen people who work less or were not that great in technical knowledge got promoted first over me.
CORPORATE REALITY : Assuming that you are a decent performer, if you cant communicate your expectations with your manager- you don't get much moolah in your hand !
More than project in corporate world, I have witnessed that it is the partiality, favoritism, chamcha giri for which the salary ranges are different. I do not agree that it is the project that determines, even if person takes difficult and most revenue generating revenues but if the person is not in the above categories, then most likely he will grow less and get less paid than the below the average performing chamchas.
@@kazalmishra5459 I have personally experienced it, thats why I am writing this. I have worked in 7 companies, where only 2 companies favoured hard working candidates. I am yet to experience in my 8th company, but here I have negotiated very hard to get the salary I deserve so I dont care anymore of what colleagues think of me or even my managers dont recognise me. Just get the job done and get the salary I deserve and be happy.
I am a person who can relate to 4th number factor which impacts badly on my hike. I am working in a company for the last 4 years and worked hard, always accept different work to learn but had never asked for a good hike on appraisal and the result was that I am getting very less pay than my entire team and everybody had reached a good hike. But now I understand very well where I was lacking, and now time to correct it. Thanks for this video. 🙂
Truth to be told, the Manager is pain. In almost all my experiences, Project Managers are incompetent, and needling with impunity. And no matter how proactive and willing to work on assigned you are, nothing guarantees progress. If you happen to make established folks go jelly between the legs based on your sheer capability, its death knell for you. On the contrary, folks who had made themselves comfortable in copy paste tasks are no threat to higher ups. They have traction and stability, while skimming the company
We have been hearing that big tech companies are stopping hiring and more layoffs. Varsha can you make a detailed video with exact reason and what would be the next 5 year changes that we can expect in IT field?
Well said Varsha, And it is so relatable. I fall into the good employee category one of the feedback comments I got recently is "not being accountable" and not projecting myself Can you suggest some areas I can work upon??
In my opinion if we work for support there is no specific things we need to work on every thing. Bottom to top level. May be your thoughts for development most similar
Yes Mam see me only my senior is like on sky eleven Just because i was fresher i was NEVER EVER given any such work to get hikes It was same for me any company it might be I have seen my own juniors who would come for duty and just work for 2-3 hours and still take more salary So WEIRD mam Since two years i am struggling so badly to get even one job or do any start up from small scale People think I am really bizzare with primitive thought process GOD knows how such people exist like consider themselves everything Please God help such extremely perfect people!! Amen
Seek for a manager who can take a risk on you. Prove that you are a person who can say "Let me get this done, let me fix it". If you are put in any support/maintenance project, don't expect two digit hike(or
The best thing that can be understood here is, if you are not facing or given any challenging work, simply switch. Don't work for hikes, work for knowledge and skills
I think what ever you have explained can give very good career path. I just want to add a point. Get hands on new tech. In turn company can give you better hike. Do some on project practice for 6 months and SWITCH....Only then one can get exponential growth else it will be good and top of the line but now exponential.
I am also facing same issue with my company whenever i asked for transfer for other project my manager giving negative feedback to others because he want to remove me from my current company. Currently i have 8 yr of experience but they doesn't allow me to do technical work they are just destroying my career & skills what should I do? Please guide me my parents are also so worried about my life & they are both senior citizens now. I want to learn something new but no one guide me & help me
Please make a video how to shift technology without faking in the cv.. It's not a problem to get a certification but problem is to get a hands on.. Because no one wants a person without hands on ..
You are soo gorgeous that i am unable to concentrate on what you say in the first instance. I need to repeat again. Thanks for the beautiful corporate dairies.
Hello Ms Varsha hope you'd be doing well. I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineer based in Dubai. One of the reason of not getting shortlisted is the gap between what we study in university and what industry requires. We aren't aware of. There are many skills which we aren't being taught in universities for instance Ms Project Management. I've started to learn it by myself now my question is that how can I use that skill in my CV to make my CV attractive and get shortlisted? I haven't used that skill in my past experience in the past organization. Should I do research on Internet about it and add the points which supports my understanding of that skill? Please help me out.
Yes Bilal, you need to add the skill and related "keywords" in your resume, so that when someone in searching for candidates with those skill, your profile shows in the list and also give you added advantage in interviews
If we want to switch carrier transition. How to do. I am struggling so much. Anyone help on this. I am trying to move some other domain but not able to crack it
But along with all the points mentioned there is a too much favorism and politics too even you show interest n want to take it up or already in their coz of these reasons it doesn't work out.
Hi Varsha Whenever I try to come forward to take difficult task which is visible the challenges and timelines are so tight that I get into depression. Please suggest some tips to get out of it.
Hello Varsha Thanks for the info My question is now i am working in billing in MNC company Should I switch other domain? I am from commerce background Could u suggest some skills development source
I was in 2nd year of my career, I did exceptionally well in that year, manager was super proud of me and she told me that I will be given a 50% hike in appraisal cycle, this gave me more confidence and I worked even harder.. my manager had to leave suddenly(things went upside down in her personal life); new manager came in.. I got an avg hike , when I argued saying "I was promised 50% hike, for my stellar performance"; she said- "do you have any proof, all team member can come and tell me this, how can I trust you?".... that day I learnt a lesson...."if its not on email, its doesn't exist".... So be thankful to you surrounding that taught you "email marketing" on time, else you never know, which way your story will go... I know its not great, but thats how things work.. All the best dear!!
I have done certification in the emerging technology. But as i am working well in my current project manager is not giving release from current technology. How can I do it?
Hello Ma'am, I was hired in bulk in IT company as a fresher saying work is in cloud infrastructure which they said don't deal with support.But when allocated with an international project things are in support.

Is it ok to switch 2 jobs in a year?. I have switched 2 jobs in this year but not satisfied with the current job profile
@@arvindkumar-ry2qr No it's better to wait at least one year. That's a minimum time to gain some experience.
@@nithishgeorgeninan474 what if the assigned job profile is different from the one offered?
@@arvindkumar-ry2qr You should talk to your manager or hr
Very true, thats why we have so many job hoppers in our IT industry and happy they are keeping the industry competitive.

In how many years you went from 5 LPA to 22 LPA??
in how many years!
2 years 10 months. Got an increment every 6 months (5 - 6 - 8.8 - 11.15 - 14.75) and then switched to 22lpa. Though I had to be vocal at org1 about getting good hike. Note that both orgs are product based.

Well said Varsha, And it is so relatable.
I fall into the good employee category
one of the feedback comments I got recently is "not being accountable" and not projecting myself
Can you suggest some areas I can work upon??
Thanks for sharing. Great Info for developers to improve and progress
I am an HR professional with 8+ years of exp.. all points explained by you are also true in the profession of HR to a large extent if not 100%.
In my opinion if we work for support there is no specific things we need to work on every thing.
Bottom to top level.
May be your thoughts for development most similar
Thankyou Mam for providing such a valuable information.,ideas and techniques towards the career.
Yes
Mam see me only my senior is like on sky eleven
Just because i was fresher i was NEVER EVER given any such work to get hikes
It was same for me any company it might be
I have seen my own juniors who would come for duty and just work for 2-3 hours and still take more salary
