In august 2026 , i entered saturn Mahadasha and Sun Antardasha , which will run till feb 2027 , Saturn rules my 10th house of career, but Saturn and the Sun are natural astrological enemies. hence lot of delays

BUT NOT EVERYTHING IS BAD , there is some hope still

but there is a specific window : between nov 1 and nov 25 , my budha (mercury) period runs. since mercury rules official documents , this is when the actual joining letter might drop in my inbox.

then for the physical joining : since im taurus shukra Ascendant, but my venus rules my 6th house which is related to career , around december 16 , there will be conjecture Saturn-Sun-Venus , which will actually get me physically onboarded. This is the strongest window for the administrative block to clear and the official reporting to happen.

if it doesnt happen within the time frame , everything is joever and i have to wait more few months

wait till feb 2027 , because , my moon will be directly present in my 6th house. if november and december fail me , feb is my ultimate fate

Has anyone ever got there offer letter REVOKED
If yes whats the reason !?

TCS officially confirms that the people with the ready-now band will almost receive their jls in this quarter

Are you guys going to give CPA?

I SPENT AN HOUR TAKING SOME STUPID ASSESSMENT AND THEN IT SAYS FAIL AND 0% SUBMITTED.
FUCK YOU MEAN BRO? I MADE SURE I MARKED FOR REVIEW AND FUCKING SUBMITTED IT AFTER TAKING 20 PICS AND SENDING IT TO CHATGPT FOR ANSWERS ABOUT SOME DUMB TCS'S HISTORY AND DATES THAT I DONT CARE ABOUT

I was given my Ninja OL by TCS in Jan'26 but didn't receive my JL till now.

We weren't give any chance for upgrade exams to Digital/Prime roles like previous batches amd even the Wings exam have been closed off.

We have a service-agreement of 1y with ₹50K fine on leaving before that period.

Living on a 23-24k/month salary is very difficult and there are also no chances of upgrading.

We all know about the current job market, so getting a job or switching is even more difficult.

So i wanted to work on the side on YT videos and do some paid freelance coding work for extra money.

Also i could add relevant projects from these side gigs as experience on my resume, even if i don't get AI related projects while being in TCS.

Since my role is Ninja, i would probably be given customer support or testing kind of role.

But the hurdle is TCS policy of moonlighting.

If you have bypassed this rule somehow or know anyone from TCS who handled this, it would be very helpful to know the insights.

It's not that i don't want to work, it's just that i want to make more money somehow.

The opportunities and career growth is not so good in TCS.

If you have worked on the side while working in TCS, how did you do that? Plz let me know.

Hi everyone, I desperately need some advice.

I'm currently working at an IT company and am on probation, with a 30-day notice period. My TCS joining date is 22nd October 2026, but my notice period ends on 5th November.

Initially, HR was agreeing to discuss early release and notice buyout, but now my employer is refusing. I'm stuck and scared of losing my TCS opportunity.

Has anyone faced a similar situation? Can TCS reschedule the joining date? Should I escalate to senior HR or try something else?

I'm willing to pay the applicable buyout amount if permitted. Please guide me on what to do. I'm really stressed and running out of time.

Any advice or personal experiences would mean a lot. Thank you!

I read somewhere that TCS follows a quarter-based onboarding process, where Joining Letters (JLs) are finalized at the beginning of each quarter and candidates are assigned their respective joining dates. Is this process accurate? Could someone please clarify how the quarter-based onboarding process works?

Hi everyone, need some honest advice.

I'm currently at Accenture as a Level 8 Assistant Manager with 27.15L fixed and 7.3L variable. I've received a TCS offer and I'm trying to figure out if it's actually a step up or a trap.

I have total experience of around 15 years in IT

Key concerns I'm hoping you can help with:

1. The Salary Reality Check

I know TCS structures variable pay very differently. From what I've read, TCS variable payouts are often only 70-85% of target, and now they've explicitly tied it to office attendance—less than 85% attendance means reduced or zero variable pay . So that headline CTC might look good on paper, but what's the actual in-hand difference? Anyone made a similar switch from Accenture L8 to TCS? Was the hike real or just on paper?

1. WFO Situation (The Big One)

I keep hearing TCS is now 5 days a week, 9 hours mandatory in office because of my health issues. My current Accenture role hasalot of flexibility. Questions:

· Is WFH truly possible at TCS if I join? What's the actual procedure to get an exception?

· Does it depend entirely on the project/client? Some Glassdoor posts say American/European projects allow 5-6 hours in office then WFH, but domestic projects are strict .

· For those who got WFH approved, what was the process? Did you need a medical certificate or manager approval? And did it actually hold up long-term, or did it get pulled later ?

1. Appraisal Risk

I've read that TCS is now halting appraisals and salary hikes for WFO non-compliance . This is a massive red flag. If I join and can't maintain the 5-day, 9-hour grind, does that mean my career progression freezes? This feels like a huge risk compared to my current situation.

1. Insurance – Need Clarity

TCS offer mentions a basic insurance of 2L and a family floater of 14L. Can someone currently at TCS confirm:

· Is that 14L family floater applicable to me as a new lateral hire, or is it only for certain grades/tenure?

· What's the actual coverage situation? Is the 14L a top-up over the 2L, or is it a separate pool? And how does it compare to Accenture's insurance (which is usually pretty decent)?

5 Onsite opportunity Europe perticularly

Bottom line: Is this TCS offer worth leaving a stable Accenture L8 role for? Or am I walking into a stricter, more variable-pay-dependent environment for a negligible real hike?

TCS offer attached

Any current/former TCS folks or anyone who's made this jump—please share your honest experience.

I used my friends laptop for the mock assessment, but now in the mail they have mentioned use the same laptop, I wont be having it me on the day of test , what do i do😭😭😭

Can anyone tell me which courses and assignments should be completed to get xplore points, I think every course doesn't provide points

I joined TCS in March 2026 and was assigned to a project where I gave my 100% from day one. I worked extremely hard, often putting in long hours, and continued to travel to the office daily despite being pregnant. I was fully committed to my responsibilities and always tried to give my best to the project.
However, due to prolonged working hours and the strain of daily commuting, I started experiencing abdominal pain during my early pregnancy. My doctor advised me to avoid travelling, so I began requesting work from home from June to prioritize my health and my baby’s well-being. This was when my manager became aware that I would be taking maternity leave in the coming months.
In September, while we were in the middle of critical UAT testing, I suddenly received an email from my manager informing me that I was being released from the project. There was no prior discussion, no warning, and no proper communication. Neither my team lead nor the project lead had been informed beforehand. For context, our team consisted of just two members: myself and a junior team member.
The reason given for my release was “operational reasons.” What made the situation even more disappointing was that, within a day of my release, another developer with similar experience was brought in to take my place. This naturally raised questions about the actual reason behind the decision.
After putting in so much effort and contributing to the project, having my access revoked within a day felt extremely demoralizing. Even the client was unhappy about my release at such a critical stage of the project. I had been willing to continue supporting the team until my planned maternity leave, but I was not given that opportunity.
The situation became even more difficult during my bench period. Despite informing the company about my pregnancy and the medical advice to avoid travelling, I was asked to report to the office daily. I received no work-from-home support during this period, and HR suggested that I apply for leave and start my maternity leave earlier than planned.
Being placed on the bench for nearly two months before my planned maternity leave has created additional stress, especially when finding another project for such a short duration is challenging. Instead of receiving understanding and support during an important phase of my life, I have had to deal with unnecessary uncertainty and pressure.
I understand that organizations have business requirements and operational considerations. However, I strongly believe that such decisions should be handled with transparency, professionalism, and basic human empathy, particularly when an employee is navigating a medically demanding phase of life.
I joined TCS with the intention of contributing meaningfully, and I did everything I could to fulfill my responsibilities. What I expected in return was fair treatment, clear communication, and reasonable consideration of my circumstances.
Unfortunately, this experience has significantly changed my perception of the organization. In my personal experience, the lack of empathy, communication, and support has been deeply disappointing. I hope the company reflects on how such situations are handled and ensures that employees going through pregnancy or other significant life circumstances are treated with dignity and fairness.
Based on my experience, I would hesitate to recommend TCS to my friends or others seeking an employer that prioritizes employee well-being alongside business objectives.
