I don't think brand will influence the resume by that much. I would have gone for Eventbrite

But is it the reality? Do more people prefer your resume if you have brands or more better skills from small companies

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi all, i am 5 yoe software dev. Right now i have few good offers
Samsung - less pay, good project, chance to move to Bangalore (java + cloud heavy)
Eventbrite - nice pay, python + Django profile (i come from java background) + remote work
Which one should i go for? 
My worries are, in next switch i might struggle to attract recruiters cause i am not sure if recruiters know eventbrite brand 
On the other hand with Samsung less base pay i might struggle again to improve my compensation in future switches. 
It feels like 2 sides of a coin. Maybe i am overthinking too much. But i would really appreciate your advice

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Considering the following two offers:

IBM
Training location: Bengaluru
After completion: PAN India
Role: Associate System Engineer
Comp: 4.5 LPA with 25k joining bonus.

Product based MNC with 2-5k employees worldwide.
Office in Bengaluru.
Role: Associate Product Engineer
Comp: 9 LPA

If you compare the compensation, then it feels like a no-brainer decision.

But IBM is more recognisable and I feel it might add weight to my resume for future switches.

Passed out in 2023. Only intern experiences previously.

Any advice?

Brand over compensation?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have 2 Offers, both from start ups, A is a consumer faced growing startup with good & lots of work! Pros of A are: Culture seems good, maybe good quality work, peers okay! Cons are : No flexibility with WFH, package 4 lakhs less than B, maybe lots of work.

Pros of B: Higher package (+4 lacs), option to work from anywhere, dont know about kind of work!
Cons; SaaS based startup so don’t know about kind of work I would get, maybe dashboard or external services integration, WLB may be fucked up! 

What should I join? I am in dilemma, what if I join A and I get overwhelmed with work and get burned out, package also less.

What if join B and I do not get quality work and do not grow as a Frontend developer? 

Folks with experience help!!!!!!!!
I previously joined a startup, got burned out pretty quickly!

Help choose me offer!

25M, CSM role

I have offers from 2 companies. Both are companies I admire and have managed them as a CSM in my current company and have excellent relationships. I’ve interviewed for both and the pay is what I expected however which one should I go with?
Company A- 100% remote
Company B- I admire this a bit more. When I asked for making an exception to let me do remote the founder said if I can move to Chennai for 6 months to get in sync with product/team and then go remote we can move forward.

I have notions about moving to Chennai. If it was remote I would blindly select B.

Confused right now which one to go with. I have some borrowed and some experienced notions about Chennai + I moved to BLR just in April 2024

Which offer should I go with?

Customer Success

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have a Remote offer with a company called EventBrite, which is paying well as well. And another offer from Indian unicorn startup (Glassdoor has terrible reviews on work life balance). Should I just accept a remote job roam around India. Do a lot of Staycations, meet a pretty girl. Or take the Unicon start-up with a good brand, hoping that two years later, Amazon or Google or Microsoft would reach out to me.

Is it worth working so hard??

I have over 1.5 years of experience and and my current CTC is 7.75 LPA in a product based startup. Is it worth to switch for 10LPA or should I wait for another offer.
I have had enough of negotiations and they can’t go beyond 10LPA.
I’m decent at DSA and solved arround 500 problems on Leetcode.

Is it worth to switch? Please help

I work in a US based fintech named as One.App I've joined them in January this year only. 
The thing is my manager is kind of toxic. What makes him toxic is he doesn't talk to me much whenever I go to him with problems instead of trying to help me. He says something like that's so poor documentation, I am horrified by looking at it. He doesn't even help me in making it better. Tries to just divert me to other people for help.

I have in total 5 years of experience.

The other company I am getting offers from is HackerRank. It offers me 12 Lacs less than the One.App but I've heard good things about them. So what do you guys think I should do?

Should I leave my company and join the company with a lower package?

Software Developer

Hi All,
I am working in Microsoft as a software developer, i got 2 offer one from ADP and another is from samsung. which one is best to join. Both are offering me same package ..

Is ADP is good company to join ?

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 🙂

Confused on what to do next

What should I am for?
- A well named startup or company at slightly lower pay?

- A high payed salary from the startup or a company that no one ever heared of...

Example:
Currently I am making 12 LPA as a marketer.
But I am worried about my future as I am finding it tougher to get hired for salary anything above than this. 

How about working at a fancy startup? (meesho, sugar, CRED, etc.) at a lower pay like 10 LPA - will it secure my future? As people prefer to hire ex-employee from these fancy startups. 

Or should I be searching for a 15 LPA or 20 LPA job but from a company or startup that no one ever heard about, adding no value to my CV while working there

What should I choose?

I have been working in this startup for around 1.5 years now, and soon I am going to be the only developer here, as the other 2 devs are going to leave soon.
The company is now calling me to Bangalore.
I am thinking as there will be no devs my growth will be very less, as this is my first organisation after graduation.
But looking at the market situation it feels like I should just continue with the current org.
I am not sure what to do.

YoE; 1.5 year
CTC: 9 LPA
Saving: 1LPA

Confused about what to do

I have 2 offers for an SDE-1 position and I'm not able to choose between them.

Offer 1: 
Pros: Large product based US company. Work is tech stack agnostic which I was looking for since I wanted to move out of my current stack. I've heard it's chill.
Cons: Salary is lower than what was discussed initially. After I cleared all interviews, I didn't have a proper discussion about salary from the HR which kind of seems like a red flag.

Offer 2:
Pros: 15% higher salary. People were more friendly and more open to questions and discussions, I feel they treated me with more respect. I could have a greater learning opportunity there maybe.
Cons: STARTUP. Tech stack is similar to the one I'm currently using and it's not the best choice for scalable and maintainable services. More hectic. More stress. More responsibilities. They haven't raised a lot of funding so I'm a bit unsure about my future there.

Any opinion on what I should go with?

Confused between 2 offers

If you're early in career like (3yoe) and you get offer from a big org which is comparable to FAANG but work is very domain specific and not quite relevant and based on some company specific stack but pay is great so should one go for it, also to mention if current work one is doing is full of learnings.

Work vs Pay ?

Have more than 5 years of experience working for a consulting MNC, a SaaS startup and a medium-sized consulting company.

Over the years have gotten the opportunity to work as a frontend engineer(angular, react), a fullstack engineer(java, javascript/typescript, python) and currently a data engineer(pyspark/databricks, azure, gcp).

Projecting my self as a fullstack/backend engineer only. 

What should be my fair salary ask in series A/B/C startups & other product companies?

I believe many of people in here will be in the same boat as me, so please put down your thoughts…!

What should be my fair salary ask?

Consultant

Contemplating between an offer at Google vs a Series A startup, in India, with similar pay.

I'm curious to know if Google as a name on the resume (or for future prospects) is still as big as it was maybe 5-8 years ago? 

Or is India just a low cost employee centre for them and it'll always be down-the-stream work, at the whims of middle/senior managers?

YoE: 4
Role: Analytics

Happy to hear any thoughts (and answer any questions)!

Is Google/FAANG still as sought after?

Data engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey everyone,
I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes.

So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. 

The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. 

What should I do?

Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

Switch or not

Security Engineer

I have 8 years of experience working as a software Engineer, i worked for 3 startups in these 8 years, Now I am planning to switch and I have 2 offers one from a seed stage start-up and one from Faang like company. What should I choose. I am more into front end development, pay in startup is 10% less which is not a concern for me. I like working in startups, my only concern is how it will affect me in the long term maybe after 5-10 years.

Help me decide Startup vs Faang like company.

Hey all,

I am currently interviewing at a big bank in Dubai(on site)for frontend role but haven’t had any technical rounds with live coding or hard questions on js/react. They will pay me good money. Good means double of what I will get in India and zero tax.

The only good thing is salary as of now.

Should I take this opportunity seriously? Any advice?

About me : Frontend developer with 4 years of experience and about to get laid off this week. 

Thanks

Should I choose a job opportunity just for money

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 advice. Which company to choose.

I am a full stack developer, with knowledge of python, Django, React Js and Java.
I am confused with salary negotiation. How much I should expect in Bengaluru.
Any suggestions please
