If you call yourself a 'Bong', then you don't really identify with the culture that the city has.
Myself Bong, I know the reality here. About time we acknowledge the problems here so that we rectify the city. Forever basking away in past glory won't do us any good.
Still better educated, more tolerant, accepting and inclusive than all the places that you have come from and have been thriving in.
Kolkata is like JSA. Low pay and tier one in name only. It is the JSA of "tier 1" cities.
12 lpa for nlus and 10k/month for cu grads
I know someone who joined there for 12LPA as a fresher couple of years back.
What about Fox and Mandal, more specifically the Corporate office at AJC Bose Road? I just read somewhere it's 10k/month and I am shocked. Please tell me it is a lie :')
Someone, please throw some light rather than the usual dick measuring shit on LI

May be you should first learn to spell the city :-)
Uncivilized compared to which city? Delhi?
Take a visit to Chennai and Bangalore maybe? You will see where they lack and where Cal does.
As someone who has stayed in other cities apart from Calcutta, can affirm Delhi and Bombay have a distinct advantage over Cal. Rest of the cities however have only a perception advantage.
I mean, at least they got Nobel Prizes, so there's that. 🤷‍♂️
Yet you won't find people from Kolkata crying about their miserable work lives in this forum. Most of those people are from Mumbai or Delhi.
Good luck in that gas chamber. Hopefully you are not a girl and therefore need not be afraid for your life whenever you have stay out late after dark.
Feel free to leave the city.

Love,
Your Senior.
Your comment reflects how ignorant you are of Kolkata. The city is way better now, buddy! :)
It's still a barely civilised town. Lives in 1800s
This is not true for a fact. Argus does not pay that much.
Cause of the Marwaris who havent moved away yet. A big law firm based in Kolkatta had to move away to Delhi and then to Mumbai.

Cause maach, sutta, daru and above all .. adda dont get money honey.
Argus offered freshers around 8.5 lpa back in 2020 for their Kolkata office.
Haha! People and their generalisations. Kolkata has made a lot of progress now, yes its not perfect and the industry is not as thriving as in Mumbai or Delhi, but its much better than some people claim it to be.
Ranks 3rd in city wise GDP in India btw 🙃
Seems like last time you were in Kolkata, Jyoti Basu was still the CM 😛
KCO Kolkata Corp Team gives the same fixed component to A0s hired during Day Zero as the other offices. Bonus may vary.
KCO I believe is 75k for A)/junior associates for the Corp Team. Lit might be more and has a solid bonus as well.

Argus is around 50k for 0 experience joinee, could be slightly more as well.
Should be around 35,000/- to 50,000/- enough for badi, gadi, puchka, jhal-muri and an occasional Rosogolla at K.C.Das, Esplanade.
