Help me choose a firm.

If you have worked majorly with service based you can give a try to the product based and vice versa. So choose accordingly. Wishing you the best.

Which technology are you working on? 🤔 For 5 years of experience this is a lottery.

TIL : Both EPAM and Amdocs are service based. @ActiveInheritance Based on this you can go ahead with EPAM as they are paying better.

Little worried about epam, as there r rumours abt them being hire and fire company, but nowdays its the same case everywhere I guess

I cannot tell you about epam but as I am working in amdocs based on that I can say that in amdocs there is not that much CTC vs in-hand salary issue . If you have 23LPA so you might get around 20LPA in-hand or more than that and it's a semi product based company
