How I Got Jealous of a Friend's Appraisal at Nagarro

-

Hello friends,

My first year at Nagarro wasn't very good. First, I had training in Golang, then in .NET, and finally, I got a project in Java. For about the first 8 months, I was just doing training. Not a single line of my code went into production.

After the first year, when my appraisal happened, I got a 30% hike, which was pretty good. Honestly, I was quite happy. But when I found out that my other batchmates got a 58% hike, I became extremely upset. The biggest mistake here was, why were we even sharing our CTCs (Cost to Company) with each other?

A strong feeling of jealousy emerged after seeing my friends' new CTCs, and I set up a meeting with HR. The HR treated me very poorly, as if I was begging. That's where my ego was triggered, and I went into the market and got an offer for 7.5 LPA CTC. That offer was for Bangalore, so I didn't go, but based on that offer, I got my CTC revised at Nagarro.

This same drama happened every year at Nagarro. No matter how well you performed, Nagarro always showed disrespect during appraisals. That's why, after 3 years, I finally resigned from Nagarro, and I have never looked back.

Nagarro Tried to Settle Me in Business Intelligence (BI) and DevOps

-
Hello friends, I am a developer. I was trained in development, and I truly enjoyed coding. But at that time, Nagarro didn’t have any developer vacancies, so they tried to place me in Business Intelligence (BI). I did some research on BI and realized it wasn’t a development role. So, I refused Nagarro’s offer. My ex-team lead warned me, saying, “If you keep sitting on the bench and keep rejecting projects like this, Nagarro will fire you.” But by then, I had become fearless, living life with a mindset of: "Whatever happens, we’ll see!" After that, Nagarro tried to push me into DevOps. Today, DevOps is a hot field—great scope, good money—but back then, it wasn’t as big. DevOps felt somewhat related to development, so I spent a day with the team and initially felt okay with it. But there, I met a godsent person who guided me and said, “Bro, DevOps is good, no doubt. But if your heart is in development, don’t switch. Because today you’ll join DevOps out of compulsion, ...

I Met a Lot of Fake People at Nagarro

-
Hello friends, When I graduated from college and joined my first job, I was quite naive. I considered my office colleagues as friends and started treating them like friends in my life. After some negative interactions with people, I realized that, wow, in the corporate world, people fake their personalities and real behavior very easily. They'll show you respect to your face and call you an idiot behind your back. So, when a friend of mine betrayed me, I was very hurt, and after that, I stopped trusting corporate friendships. And as soon as that negative incident happened to me, the veil over my eyes lifted, and I started seeing people's true colors clearly. And I saw how fake these corporate people really are. The majority of people I met in companies turned out to be fake from head to toe. I don't consider anyone a friend; I only consider them acquaintances.

10th aur 11th ki studies ke level mein zameen aasmaan ka farak hai!

-
Hello doston, Jab mujhe 11th mein science stream mil gai to main bahot khush tha. Main hamesha se ek scientist ban-na chahta tha aur mujhe laga ki ab main real science padhunga aur maza aayega. Lekin sachai isse bahot door nikli. Chahe maths ho ya science, bharat mein practical application ya interesting way mein kuch nahi padhaya jata, bas ratwaya jata hai. Jab maine studies start kari 11th class ki to mujhe laga ki main ye easily kar loonga. Jitna main 10th mein padha karta tha, usse kaam ban jayega, lekin aisa nahi hua. Mujhe koi guide karne wala nahi tha. 9th mein maine self-study se 81.4% score kia tha, to mujhe laga ki main 11th mein bhi 70-75% score kar loonga aur 12th mein tuition le loonga. Aur ye meri sabse badi galti thi. 10th aur 11th ki studies mein zameen aur aasmaan ka farak hai. Summer vacation ke pehle sirf 1-1 chapter karaya har subject mein, aur summer vacation ke bad, sirf 1 month mein teen aur chapter karwa diye har subject ke. Har chapter sar ke upar se gaya aur k...
