Am I Offered Right Package? Cloud DevOps Engineer!
Hi there! I am a Cloud DevOps Engineer with 5.9 years of experience specialized in Azure. I am currently in a job switch, and I notice that companies are not able to match or provide more than a 25 LPA salary. Are others also facing similar issues? Or is it just me? I tried in mostly all IT MNCs and then rejected offers during offer letter discussions. For example, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, PWC, and Tech Mahindra. Most of them have budgets up to 22 LPA only. Thanks for your input.
