What should I do ?

Lets discuss here our current CTC and YoE along with Designation. More experience people will tell us if need to switch. Mine is 13.1 LPA with 6 Years and 4 months of experience.

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.

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)

Currently I’m in a 600 member saas company with 23L CTC (60% fixed) - Account Management role. The culture is great and the work was joyful until 3-4 months back. Now its not that joyful nor am I enthusiastic about the company’s future. I have an offer from a 200 member saas company who has grown rapidly even in such economic conditions. Getting an offer of 18 to 20L (90% fixed) - CSM role. What would you choose if you were in my place?

There’s this chap on GV who posted that they haven’t received any calls for the past 3 months. Has 2.5 years experience with a current ctc around 15L. We spoke to them only to realise their expectations are 32L (26 fixed and 6 in esops) In a market flooded with resumes due to unfortunate situations, is it fair to have such an expectation and at the same time, call out on GV that they haven’t been getting calls for an interview?
