I have been following up on lots of posts regarding fintech and WLB.
It seems rare that both fintech and WLB are present together.

Personally working in fintech in one of the core engineering team, I think I've started making peace with it that fintech mostly does not have a WLB.
However, I enjoyed Fintech as a domain and wanted to explore it further. But Im pretty sure I will burn out soon as WLB is not there.

So I look forward to switching the domain which is also interesting and decent WLB is there.

TC: 40L
YOE: 4.5+

Which company has the best WLB

Hello everyone! I am currently seeking PM opportunities. I have over one year of experience in building and overhauling internal tools, as well as working with a FinTech client, managing and scaling finance products for over 50 million users across the United States. Due to a lack of work-life balance, I am looking to switch to a position in India, and I am open to both hybrid and fully remote roles. If there are any opportunities in your organization, please let me know!

I received an offer from a startup with 40% hike through a connection . But I am comfortable with the work life balance in my current company and working on a great product. What to choose now ?

Current role : SDE 1, 
YOP : 1.5 years

What to choose 40% salary hike or WLB

Hello folks, I am working with a startup (now acquired by a big fintech) as FTE for 1.5 years now (Full stack dev) , my TC is 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed + Variable) in a permanent wfh model.

The reason I want to switch is that my tech team is very small (4 people) and there is no senior person in my team from whom I can learn something, thus my learning has become stagnant technical wise.

Should I try and switch company or stay in the same for more time, considering the current market scenario?

PS: I am a 2022 graduate.

Should I switch or not? Please help 🙏

Companies with WLB

What are the career opportunities for freshers who start their professional career in the FinTech domain for companies like MSCI, JPMC, BlackRock, UBS. 
Do they have to be restricted to FinTech in the future or will they get opportunities in core Software companies/FAANGs as well?

Intern

I interviewed with Uber in Jan 2023, cleared all the rounds but they did not released the offer till march, so I lost hope and moved ahead. Fast forward, they reach out in Feb this year as they are hiring aggressively now. Received the offer letter based on last year interview rounds. 
Right now I’m working for a MNC as SDE 2(~5 YOE) and I’m not sure weather to join it or not. Uber is offering SE-2 for a fintech team. 

Other points:
1) cash component is 40% higher than my current org. This excludes the RSUs which Uber provides
2) various additonal perks which Uber provides like free food, wellness , insurance etc
3) WLB is great right now, not sure about it in Uber
4) Frequent Layoffs in Uber

Folks working in Uber, how is the wlb and layoffs scenario here.  Would you recommend joining?

Just got a call from HR at  Meesho for a job opportunity. While I'm actively looking out I haven't heard the best about the company. Any current, ex folks who can tell what's the culture and current business health like? How's the WLB? And job security? 

I got the call for the superstore biz.

What's the profession which pays you most while keeping WLB in check. I know it also depends company to company, so would be good to have both.

Any engineers from Atlan here?

I'm in an Indian crypto startup about 1y5m into existence and our product is in early beta right now. I've been a part since about 1y3m. I was the first hire.

The reason I'm considering a switch is because i was told we're a remote first company at the time of interviewing and after my joining they switched to in-office and all hires after me were required to relocate. They haven't made it a requirement for me yet.
I can't relocate, but now everyone except me is in-office and there's always a disconnect between me and the team. 

Decisions and discussions are done without me and I'm just told what they concluded. Sometimes even deadlines are set without informing me about the task even and i have to work/manage according to them.

I'm also technically the senior-most person after the CTO/manager (all others are either freshers or 1YOE). This has sort of restricted my growth as there's no one to review my prs or someone i can have a deep dive technical conversation with.

By how much I understand the manager and team are happy with me and my work. Also, I'm possibly the highest paid dev even as compared to the ones with the similar YOE.

I'm a frontend/fullstack engineer and the quality of work seems fine but i feel i could be doing and learning more in my field.

The culture and WLB has changed slowly for the worse as compared to when i was hired. 
Stuff like the leave policy and the whole in-office thing are the negatives.
But the manager doesn't ping me much regarding my work so that's a plus.

Switching doesn't feel ethical as the majority of the code is written by me and we're an early stage startup.
Not to mention with layoffs happening all around and a possible recession around the corner, it's not the best choice to switch i guess.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

If your company is hiring please let me know that as well.

TC - ₹18lakhs pa
YOE - 1y4m + 1y6m if you count startup contract work as exp

Should I switch?

Management has tried to underpay us all this time. We deserve to know what is the real salaries for our YOE? 

I am being paid 24.6L CTC / 2 YOE. What about you?
