What to choose 40% salary hike or WLB

Role : SDE 1, backend YOP: 1.5 years TLDR : I've received a job offer from a startup in Bengaluru with a base package of 14LPA. This opportunity came through a connection who holds a senior position in the company. Currently, I'm employed at an early-stage startup with a small team, working on a great product, with a package of 10LPA. The story behind this: I was laid off from my previous company due to their financial issues. At that time, I informed my manager to keep me in mind for any future opportunities. Subsequently, I joined a smaller startup with a 20% increase in salary as a SDE 1. I am happy with my work-life balance and satisfied with my role in building a successful product with a substantial customer base. Recently, my previous manager, now in a senior position at a mid-sized startup, referred me for a role. Although my second-round interview didn't go perfectly, I've been offered the position based on his positive feedback, and they are offering me a base salary of 14LPA. I have responsibility in my current company and my resignation will effect their timeline. also i don't want to ruin my connection with my manage also who offered me the new job. I'm uncertain about what decision to make. Any advice?

Need some guidance. I am currently working in a product based MNC with a decent salary for 8 months. I am having 3 years of work experience. Recently I got an interview opportunity from a US based startup company for a SDE 2 remote role with 50% hike. What shall I do? Should I be continue working in the reputed MNC or try to switch to a startup with 50% hike and complete remote opportunity? Any help and guidance is much appreciated 🙂

Hi Guys, I am having 3 YOE and i got offers from both startup and Goldman Sachs. I am confused on which should I join. Can you guys help me here? Pros of startup( after discussion with hiring manger and employee of the same team) 1. startup culture 2. More impactful work( The team i am joining, they are building the complete component from scratch) Pros of GS 1. 30% more salary ( ~40 LPA) 2. Brand Value Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hello friends, Can you please help me in deciding between these 2 offers: Trigent Software: -35lpa: all fixed, (it feels can go upto 36) -Service based but hiring for good client who is there from last more than 5 years and will be there for another atleast 5 years according to them -25 years old company -1300 employees Inito(product based startup): 30 + 2(esops over 4 years, so we can assume 30.5) -This got started in 2015 but still having only around 110 employees -Out of 110, 32 from IITs...so good people are there Yoe: 4.3

currently I work in an ai consulting company (<40 folks) with 20+ lpa salary. recently I got an offer from a big mnc bank for around 15% hike on my total ctc. I informed my current org yesterday and they have countered me with a 20% hike now. I am confused on what to choose. ps: I have ~5 yoe.

I’m a product analyst with 2.5 YOE making 13.5LPA at startup. I have been offered 18 + 2 LPA at a conglomerate for product analyst role. Pros: 1. New Tools to work with 2. Hybrid Model 3. Good WLB 4. No Volatility Cons 1. Product Analyst Role again (I wanted to get into senior level roles) Do you think I should wait it out and play the long game? or take the offer and chill. They were layoffs at my current firm and they are acting very stringent about timings, travelling in Bangalore traffic is a big dealbreaker in itself, but there’s an appraisal cycle coming (with no hopes of a solid appraisal but I might get promoted and I also like the work and team at current firm)

Offer A - Public company good brand name in US - 35 lpa fixed and 15 rsu. Role - senior engineer. Established product and team I think personal growth would be constant Offer B - startup - 50 lpa fixed. Role - staff engineer. Growth stage product , product needs to be established in market. Which one is good, considering 2-3 years timeframe and which one opens door for next job offers

With my small experiences in the past, I haven't seen a good Startup with WLB for SDEs (0-3)yoe. I want to know whether you work in a startup where there's WLB. I understand that more work means more learning but I do not agree with this every time. There are way more SDEs working in very very small startups who have humongous learning with a pinch of money they are being paid. For me WLB means enough time to relax and spend time with my loved ones and also less mental stress. I have observed that the Leads/Managers will give any features no matter how complex they are, need to be built with 0 to no help specially for SDE-1 people. And later they are blamed and scolded or they're put in PIP and ultimately thrown out. What is your experience?
