hey thanks for the prompt reply buddy. :) But what will b the hike after 1 year..i mean wat wil b my new package (its 3.25Lpa at present) and to go out at friday as u said there is no problm from infy's side do i have to file an application or smthng or jst straight away i can leave the campus and come bak on sunday... yeah mate i kno it wud b hard.. but a single visit to her in approx 1.5 or 2 mnths will make my life at infy (sucking infy) easier :);)
any more suggestions/replies to my post from other members are welcomed :)
The hike will depend on few factors. You will need to be certified as star Infoscions (i.e. you will have english and KT test) you need to pass in them(95% of the people do). considering that case you ll have 3.8 LPA
and you need not fill any form to go out. Daily after 5.00 pm and before 9.30 pm (dont remember its 9.30 or 9.00) and friday to sunday anytime before 11.00pm you are free bird. you can do whatever you want.
Hi, Wanted some advice from fellow puys. Completed my infosys training in java stream last month and got posted in mysore(homeplace gujarat) in testing unit. Not happy and hence plan to leave. Could anyone suggest as to what i should do. I do not plan to pay the amount as it would be greater than 1 lakh. Does such a step result in a police case? Does the company blacklist you in nsr or only within the company? Please advice.
Thanks.
i would suggest not to quit unless you have a job in your hand. because itis very diff to get a job in this economic condition. Also there is no Infosys Dc in your hometown. the nearest in chandigarh. Trust me of all the DC's, mysore Dc is the best. i know you are away from your home. But that's how happens in IT field.
You can try for mutual exchange as said by our sexy sunny ;). do not restrict in finding the person from your batch. you can also exchange from your earlier and after your batc people. use your network well for this.
if you do not get, i would still suggest you to stay at infy. You can try for a transfer after few days. you need to give some constraints. it works.
hey bhagwan salary hike k liye bhi test...!!! kch to experience base pe de do yar.. Infy really sucks ass man..that too from ur ass... ,,/,

Well a little misunderstanding there.. Hike ke liye test nahi but your hike depends on test. if you do not clear that test, you do get a hike but a little less( i am not sure how much, as i know no one who haven't cleared that test. so chillax :mrgeen:
Foreign opportunities it's all your luck. i have a few friends who have been sent foreign (Nigeria etc) soon after their training. i also know people who have served for infy for 3-4 years and still working here. It all depends on your luck i would say. If you get a project where client wants you to come there, you got a jump.
5LPA?? after 2 years?? not really i would say. but for some yes. See this is how it works. You are joining in jan. so you might finish your training in may/june 2012. so you ll be confirmed in june/july 2013. there you will get a first hike. i.e. confirmation hike. after that every april you will get a hike based on your performance. so you may end up with 5 or less than that after 2 years.
I am working for infosys from past 14 months 😃 sunny babu
bhai you make things so easy to understand...nice posts and prompts reply man..!! am a fan of yours... :)
so what is this minimum hike that i can expect based on my performance..? 50k/annum.??
hey and dat mrgreen was awsm lol :)
Minimum hike will depend on company's income. sometimes it will be 8% and sometimes it will be 10% and sometimes it will be 13% or ur salary. In all the cases i do not speculate 50K p.m to be honest. You will need to spend at least 4 years in infy to get that.
Oh sorry u asked 50K p.a?? hmmm . See considering 8% of 3.8 would be somewhere around 30K. but it is very unlikely that you end up with 8% so jst chill. after that you will have 4.1(say). now consider 10% you will get 41K.
However, with 2 years of experience in infy if you switch to some company, u ll be paid handsome. and this would entirely depend on the company you chose. i know my senior who switched to some compnay and geting paid 7LPA with 2 years ex. There are ppl who are paid little above than what they were paid in infy.
My personal belief or opinion is that "Infosys is not a bad place to start your career" You get paid less and there are few rules which seems meaningless, but no organization is ideal. if you do not like one rule here, you will surely do not like some other rule in XYZ company. Because of one simple thing that "organizations are run for themsleves and not for us "
and coming to the less pay : this is because you are joining a service based company and not a product based company. Infact, among all the service based companies (take TCS, HCL, Tech Mahindra, accenture , Patni, i gate, IBM, CTS, Capgemini, Keane etc etc) you are paid more than most of the above said companies.

Actually if you join as a fresher and you are on bench, as first hike you can expect a minimum hike of around 7-8% If you're working on a project, then the hike depends on your performance. If you perform very bad, then the minimum hike could be 5%(I've heard a case of 5%), otherwise expected hike is >=8%
what are the chances of a B.Tech mechanical in IT cos like infy., accenture
does the discrimination prevail even after the training in allocation of projects, salary hikes, and promotions
if 2 ppl have equal performance and one is in IT and the other from non-IT Eng branch, will dey prefer promoting IT person??
A big NO. all are equal. Everyone will start their career as Software engineer. There is a discrimantion(if you say so) in training of Infy. CS guys are trained for 4 months and Non IT guys are trained for 6 months(now it has reduced not sure how much). This extra training is basically to make you stand equal to that of an IT guy. Trust me after that nobody cares about your engineering .
These things can not be generalized at all.. in any Indian IT company infact.. It totally depends on your luck and project.. In Infy I have seen people getting bored on the bench for months having nothing to do and I have even seen people working for 12-14 hrs daily.. But generally these are extreme cases.. Rest all depends on whioch project you land and your Project Manager/Team Lead.. and same is the case in any major company and you'll find different opinions on it everywhere.. :cheers:
I second the opinion ....all Indian IT companies work in the same fashion be it Infy, TCS or Wipro , if I must say Infy would be the best amongst all mediocre IT companies , my advice to you is simple - since u have joined an IT company now and wish to make a career there -just shut off yr mind from everything else , be it the famous CRR, promotions , Projects , on site et al.....do yr work to the best of yr ability , make money and retire peacefully !! do not be too ambitious , otherwise u will end up being disappointed ....with a crowd of over 100000+ people , it is common sense to note that not everyone can be rewarded or promoted however hard he/she may work.....so enjoy madi !!
hi, can any one plz clarify why does infy ask about "Have your ever attended any selection process of infosys or infosys gruop? " in thier application forms?? How much importance does it carry?? HOow long does any IT company or huge recruiting firm store data about past applicants or its campus conducts?? PGP-HR MDI-Grgn.
its a very important question and I guess they have a policy that nobody who has attended the process 9 months back would be entertained .........they have their database in which they can track down the individual even if it is fudged in the application process

Thanku invban, one more question left unanswered...! How long does any IT/ any firm maintain database of past applicants. does a company invest huge amounts on maintaining database of such a past data(for suppose applicants of past 2-3 fiscal years)..?? it will be very useful if any industry/concerned area experts provide an insight on this.. plz
well, common sense tells us that IT companies have the greatest incentive in maintaining and updating the data of their past/present employees because : 1. The attrition rates are high , the business model is purely based on people as resources /assets 2. Also IT skills are evaluated in a different manner as compared to say a Financial job related skills 3. Length of database archival may well depend on Company policies etc and the relevance at that point in time 4. Also , the database may contain a lot of information eg exit interview statistics (if an ex employee is coming back) , personality traits , last salary drawn etc
I am not sure though how efficiently this data is utilized by the HR concerned....

Hi invban, thankx for a lot of input, ya it's obvious that a company maintains its past/currentemployees from inception of compny and my interest is about database of applications received(total applicants) i agree to ur 3rd point regarding policy but i am looking for some objective answer.. Hope u r able to catch me...i.e looking for real time situation// Plz let me know on portal if u gather some info. PGP-HR MDI-Grgn
infosys is worst company.It bother about your 10th and 12 th percentage.I have very bad experience with infy that because i dont have 60% marks in 10th so i was not eligible for infy in 2007.So better to work some other comany except TCS/INFY/CTS.
i am not an expert in HR or databases as such whatever info i gave u is a general info on Infy systems since i had worked their previously ........so may be I am not the right person to delve deep into the subject......

I understand yr views , but u see , all IT companies have some plusses and minuses...now that u are preparing for a career in Management , I would request you to be objective in yr assessment of situations , there is no ideal solution for any problem in life .....you have to find the best one .......:)

well maintaining databases is not a big deal for these IT companies .....especially infy is very much strict these rules and criteria ....i remember in my batch they fired a guy 1 mnths aftr joing ....as he had 0.5 % less than the criteria nd he smhow managed by fooling off them ....but eventualy he is is caught ....
