Wipro freshers’ dilemma: Work for half the salary or wait longer

Information technology major Wipro has asked candidates who have successfully completed their training and who were offered Rs 6.5 lakh per annum earlier whether they would be willing to take up projects for an annual compensation of Rs 3.5 lakh.

Wipro told Business Standard that it had to adjust its onboarding plans “in the light of the changing macro environment and, as a result, our business needs”.

“Like others in our industry, we continue to assess global economies and customer needs, which factor in our hiring plans. Currently we have project engineers’ roles available for recruitments with an annual compensation of Rs 3.5 lakh,” the company said in an email to candidates.
