What is the salary for C3B (Associate Consultant ) grade for folks who have been in TCS from beginning of their career?

From being an Assistant System Engineer Trainee to becoming an Associate Consultant would take about 15 to 17 years of your career. In terms of remuneration, it would put you in the 16 to 18 LPA bracket. The range is wide enough because your previous performance-based yearly hikes have a compounding effect on your compensation despite being promoted. A promotion in TCS would give you a flat 10-12% of raise.

15-20L fixed + approx. 1.5L VA : used to be this back in 2020
