Those who left mostly say that they got a significant pay increase. Some claim that they received even more than a 50% pay increase, which I find hard to believe, but everything is possible.
I'm interested in whether that pay increase in new companies generally implies much more responsibilities and work to do than here or not?
Left Enterprise Services making about 80k in 2016. Now I’m making 130k with far less work, guaranteed yearly increases and 100% remote.
I quit at the end of 2016. I was making roughly $95,000.
My base salary increased 27% day one.
After one year, my annual bonus was 12% of my annual salary (gross $15k)
At the end of the year, I got an 11% pay increase.
So in the first year, I essentially made 45% more than I had the year before...and I got a bigger raise in one year, than the previous 6 years combined.
Prior to quitting, I "exceeded expectations" every single year, got promoted, and helped land a multi-million dollar contract. I finally called it done when the screwed with the severance package ( I had 20+ years in) - when it went from a 26 week safety net, to a basic 8 weeks...
Now I work remote, I rarely travel, pretty much set my own schedule. There are days I have nothing to do, there are days when there aren't enough hours. I make close to double what I did when I left. However, the biggest difference is that I don't spend all day looking over my shoulder waiting for the axe to drop...and it's hard to put a price on that.
Even if you get paid the same or less, you are more likely to be valued and respected. I have never experienced such a degrading and dehumanisimg experience as my 2 years at DXC. Its almost as though they try to break you, and rob your confidence, to trap you there
All you that got better jobs, where did you go , what do you do and is there any openings. Lets stop bi-----g and help your ex-DXC people find work away from this sh-t ho-e
NOT ANYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM.

I was WFR’d by DXC in 2020.
No problem finding a new role - that paid 24% more and actually paid bonuses as promised. That was planned as a stop-gap job, and I’ve just moved again, for a further 21% increase.
So yes, there are plenty of roles out there that pay more than DXC :)
But realize you all have to work to earn money, which most people have forgotten in dxc.
I left dxc around 4.weeks.ago for a 48% pay increase. Same (simular) role but a much better package. Oh and an annual bonus contracted in at £5k.
I enjoyed. My time at dxc and didn't really want the leave but the stagnation forced me.
My increase was almost 40% but it’s hard to say if it’s more work or not. It was a struggle to find things to do when I worked for DXC, the client I worked at was moving services away at a fast pace so it was mostly KT Transitions. At the new place we are highly regarded, a lot of work to be done, and a lot of mandatory training and not just web based, vendor alliance training, conferences, etc. Travel is more than the last two years. I would say the same as travel for DXC pre pandemic. Money aside, I look forward to work Sunday when I go to bed as opposed to having a sense of dread.
I left DXC 2 weeks ago. The new job is paying 30% more and with better benefits and much better culture. I guess it depends on your role. DXC don’t seem to be interested in consultancy work any more in the UK.
No increase on the first job I had. I just learned a heck of lot and had terrific opportunities. The second job I had I got 20% rise and we had 5% cost of living increase this year, but due to the energy costs this was awarded to every employee without the usual appraisal / performance evaluation. But regardless of money, the atmosphere is better and there is less work or perhaps what I mean is that whilst there is responsibility, it is not stretching you to silly levels that you knew you could not meet forcing you to accept poor quality which is not acceptable to me because I take pride responsibility for what I do.
I left DXC more than a year ago. My base salary increased by nearly 10%. I get a 10% bonus at the end of the year and the bonus is paid :-). I now have a private pension scheme and get some shares at the end of each month.
I got a top-notch laptop instead of old hardware not suited for a developer. My office is excellent including a free lunch. My responsibilities only changed slightly. I work more hours than before but every hour I have a little smile on my face.
