The Hartford India offer — take it or leave it? Current: ₹32 LPA (100% fixed) Offer: ₹50 LPA (42L fixed | 8L variable) 56% overall hike. Fixed jump is 31%. Variable is 16% of total CTC. My concern is the 8L variable — don't want to land in a situation where I'm chasing a number that never fully pays out. Anyone at The Hartford India? How's the culture, stability, and variable payout track record? How is the well-being at hartford india Worth signing and resigning from current company or not?
This may be controversial, but I’ve seen cases where Indian leadership at the top can harm a healthy work environment through micromanagement, unrealistic expectations, and poor work-life balance, pushing teams beyond their roles while cutting costs. After our UK management handed control to a new director in India, the team has increasingly been made to feel like underperformers despite consistent effort. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this!
Pls help me choose BP: 24 LPA fixed + 2 LPA Bonus + 0.5 share buyback - Pune Ascendion: 27 LPA Fixed - BLR Publicis Sapient: 26 LPA Fixed - Gurgaon (Near home) Easebuzz - 27 LPA Fixed - Pune EXL - 26 LPA Fixed - PAN India People are saying BP gives more than 100% bonus sometimes, plus BP is a PBC and seeing current market job security is best in BP. Not sure what to choose.
Nhi, bahut fee h
Scaler will teach you in O(n*logn) time but with hefty fees O(n!) Whereas Interview Kickstart will teach you at O(log n) time with 1/3rd fees of scaler O(n*2)
Scalar is a scam
Yes there’s one way to look at it and sure you do make a great point. From what I’ve seen I took a GL course and it’s price was way higher than the Scalar one and it added no value in the end. Compared to what my friend did at Scalar, those classes helped him understand the way of thinking for solving the problems and he had a dedicated mentor w/ weekly mocks and checkins. If you’re spending that much money there’s surely value provided by them ( my pov ) . That’s how it was when I last checked w/ him, now Im not sure how they’re conducting the course. But yes you can prepare all this by yourself as well, in the end khud karo ya kisi aur k saath karo karna aapko hi hai.
