Career Advice

Hey folks,

I'm at a company with a fixed salary + a 'profit-sharing' component, but it's not on paper.

Got some questions:

✅ When job hunting, should I only share my fixed salary with recruiters, or include the unofficial variable part?

✅ Do companies hike only the fixed salary or the total comp (including variable)?

✅ Anyone been promised variable pay verbally but not in writing? How did you handle it when negotiating with future employers?

Really appreciate any advice on navigating this during interviews & salary talks!

Salary talks: Disclose unofficial variable pay?

I work in Nagarro as a Software Engineer.
It's been a little more than 2 years since I joined as a fresher. Salary hikes are not impressive. Trash projects, nobody knows where the company is going. I've been working with really bad liars for the past 2 years. Everyone in this company seems to be treating it as their retirement plan because they offer work from home.

I work on python automation POCs and my team is one of those "Agile" ones with no direction. It can be renamed as "Team ADHD". Their plans change every 4 hours and none of them are engineers, they are consultants (manchilds or scammers would be a good word).

I'm also not able to get other job offers, Hardly got 2 interviews after hundreds of applications across multiple platforms. I do see other people getting better roles in better companies. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm attaching *one of my resumes* in case someone wants to help me out.

Not sure if I should continue

Day to Day Office

Woke up to heavy rain, got ready anyway, reached office and... it’s just me, the security guard, and one confused intern 😂
Apparently, rain = mass WFH mode now.

Anyone else’s office turns into a haunted building the moment it drizzles? Or is it just us pretending to follow “flexible culture”? 👀

Rainy day or unofficial holiday? Office feels like a ghost town today 😅

Why aren't cost audits mandatory for hospitals, colleges, and schools? 🤔

During my CMA journey, I realized these institutions—handling public funds, offering key services, and impacting lives—often lack cost oversight. 

We're seeing disturbing trends, especially in education, where schools and colleges charge a ton for uniforms, activities, transport, etc. 💸

Though non-profits in theory, many act like revenue setups, straining parents. 😔

Shouldn’t transparency and accountability be as crucial here as in manufacturing? 
Why not use regular cost audits to ensure fairness and prevent exploitation? 

Education is a right, not a business. Healthcare is a necessity, not a luxury. 

As CMAs and finance pros, we should push for cost transparency and good governance in public services. ✅

CMAs, aspiring CMAs, and finance folks—what do you think? 🤝

Should hospitals & schools have mandatory cost audits?
