My CTC at TCS Mumbai is 15 LPA with 8 years of experience. I have an offer from Accenture Pune for 21 LPA. Is this a good move? Or should I consider relocation costs and ask for a better package?

Ans: The new offer is Rs. 6 LPA more than your current salary.
This is a 40% increase in your CTC.
Such a big jump is usually considered good.

Relocation Factors

Moving from Mumbai to Pune involves relocation costs.
Consider expenses like new house rent, moving charges.
You might need to buy new furniture or appliances.

Cost of Living Comparison

Pune is usually cheaper to live in than Mumbai.
Your salary might buy more things in Pune.
You may spend less on rent and daily expenses in Pune.

Purchasing Power

The same amount of money can buy more in Pune.
For example, house rents are often lower in Pune.
Food and transportation might also cost less in Pune.

Lifestyle Adjustment

Your Rs. 21 LPA in Pune might feel like more.
You might be able to save more money in Pune.
But check if your lifestyle needs will change in Pune.

Budget Impact

Make a list of your current expenses in Mumbai.
Research how much these would cost in Pune.
This will show you how far your money will go.

Savings Potential

With lower living costs, you might save more in Pune.
Compare your current savings with potential savings in Pune.
This can help you decide if the move is financially beneficial.

Hello Sir! I have total versatile experience of 21 years in Back Office Operations (5 years), Procurement Manager (5 years), Program Manager of Content Development Team (4 years), Marketing – Onboarding companies for placing our students for a 3-year internship (Earn and Learn) (2 years) PA to JMD along with Recruitment Officer (at present) in one company only, working from 2003. However, when I received the role of Recruitment (from April 2021), I found it interesting and quite challenging and to discover new networks and studying the vast topic of HR. After 2 years of recruitment (self-learned the process), I enrolled in two certification programs viz. HR Analytics (from CHRMP) and HR Generalist (Payroll, Talent Acquisition and Strategic Human Resource Management) – (from Protouch with SHRM and HRCI Certification). I am trying internally for a shift in my present company however, I can’t proceed here. Simultaneously, I am looking for Talent Acquisition or Recruiter positions outside my office and applying the same but could not succeed. I feel and think, that companies might be thinking why she is shifting now and secondly, my overall experience is good, but core TA experience is 4+ years. Present CTC is Rs.14 Lakhs and I am looking for a CTC of Rs. 19 Lakhs. I request you to please guide me how I should proceed further – should I stay in my company or look outside. If looking outside for the opportunities, then what measures I should take for receiving a good job offer and salary package. Thanking you Regards, Madhuri Shinde
Ans: Hi Madhuri,
You have impressive experience and a great mindset of constant learning. My suggestion would be to continue looking for relevant roles inside your current company, where you have greater chances of success. There's no harm at all in trying outside. I would suggest reaching out to relevant folks within your company and even outside using platforms like LinkedIn. Your expectations are realistic, and you should soon land a role and the package that you're aiming for. All the best!
