1 year into job, what to do next?
Recently, I've completed 1 year into my role and my CTC is 16LPA. The company is a startup, and I've got ESOPs which are included in CTC. It has been an year, and I'm thinking of making a switch. But still can't decide whether I should bet on ESOPs and stay, or get a higher pay and switch? The company culture is pretty good, and it's a remote role, plus not much work load. :) But apparently, I'm worried if everyone else is making a switching companies with a 50% raise, why should I stick with 10% appraisal at a single company? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Here are some of the things you can consider :
1. At 1yrs of exp, you may not get that much hike while switching.
2. Chances of getting remote is very low, and wlb has become worse in general for most companies.
3. In the new company, you might have to work 12-14hrs a day and 6-7 days a week. What will you do with the extra money if you don't have time to spend them?
4. Why not enjoy your life, travel places and pursue hobbies when you have the opportunity?
I agree money is very important, but so are the other aspects of life. Maybe after a yr or so, you can make a switch to a senior role.
For example, I regret that instead of focusing too much on my career, I could have focused on finding a life-partner.
What's the use of having money if there's no one to enjoy life with? 🥲
Plus, after a couple of years, you will get joining bonuses equal to the extra salary that you could have made now.

I agree, but isn't glass always greener on the other side? There might be someone similar to your experience regretting his/her decision to not chose career earlier in their lives. I mean it's all about personal preferences, right?

Don't switch.
Give it another year.
You may switch now, but you'll miss out on the good culture (80% probability)
Sure - lookout for the right opportunity, but don't do it in haste because others are

I equally have interest in starting something of my own, but not sure if should I pursue it as a side thing, or take it to mainstream?
