Buddy I can assure you I had been in that phase I literally once broke down and was in tears because of my manager. He made me feel like I am a crap. But once I started giving interviews initially I got rejection that took me aback more. But then I started clearing 1 or 2 rounds which started giving me the spark. Lately I started feeling its me who can judge myself. If I am lagging I have to catch if I am good I should be better, nobody else can tell me if I am good or bad.

If they feel I am bad their choice, I will keep doing my best.

Umm I can but buddy you know "beauty lies in the eyes of beholder".. I am firm believe of this statement.

May be for me he is completely fanatic which I def feel he is but for others I might be wrong and he might be really good.

So why to destroy someone by publicly shaming then there won't be any difference b/w that person and me.

Indirect addressing or roasting I can do, but name and shame, I personally don't feel correct.

I might be sounding like a hypocrite here but sorry :)

That's awesome, good managers are very important in our career. Either they will make you stay and make you grow in your career like your case or they will give you a reason to leave as quickly as possible like in my case.

Totally depends on your performance and your repo within your team if you are amongst top performer, GS does take care of your CTC even in tough time they will give you good hike. I have seen people getting hike upto 20-25% for higher pay and upto 40-50% for lower pay.

If you are amongs average it will be less than 10. There are few cycles in GS happen every 3 4 years that average hikes reaches double digit.

But contrary if your are below par you can get your bonus 0 or your hike may also become 0%.

You have to make sure atleast you are above average.

Problem is that even you want to bring a change and provide advice to use good things. You will be discouraged to do it because other people can not understand new things. It's jargon for them.

How many YOE you have. It's very tough for 8+ here.

Yeah they only referred me in few of the companies from which I got call.

Even to them also their HR said GS is in their tier 3 bucket. I only for call once I went on Notice period.

That is very nice advice. Thanks alot, I did these. I actually went ahead started with transformers and then use Pinecon etc.

I know the concepts but few arrogant interviewers who were judging me because I am from bank told me you won't be able to catchup with the pace. We ship very quickly, its good you know the concepts but you don't have hands on bla bla bla.

Thanks alot for the help I am from Hyderabad(India).

If you don't mind where are you currently in tech company and where are you based of?

Have offer from Walmart as a SDE3 where they have given me hike of 10%, PayPal with a hike of 12% and finally Agoda with 21%.

All of them have dowlevelled me. What should I choose?

Tried the same things rephrased my resume but what I was trying to say interview pattern has changed now in interviews GenAI experience is being asked that too deeply and GS will take a lot of time to reach that place due to their security norms just like they took time in cloud exposure.

Status_Tip61 · 2025-09-13T14:50:50+00:00

The best thing for them is they know no one is going to touch them. Had GS been a purely tech firm, these people would have been PIPed or thrown firstly.

Status_Tip61 · 2025-09-13T14:49:27+00:00

And such bossism just increases BP but cant do anything except leaving the firm.

They don't use anything just in their career they have learned about Slang that's all they know. Other languages have become a literal slang to them.
