Need Advice on Microsoft IGD Offer: How Does It Compare to IDC?

Just finished my culture fit round with Microsoft GD for consultant role. I'm confident I'll get an offer for hyderabad. I know GDs reputation. I have 6 years experience and a ctc of 10.x from a local small startup. I wanted to understand after how long in GD can I apply to IDC. I'm willing to give it all. All the hard work required. But do I have to complete 1 year for internal switching.? Anybody know?

Hi. I have my interviews with Microsoft and Google for sde2 roles. My primary reason of switch is hybrid work mode since GS has 5 days WFO. Are all teams at Google and Microsoft still hybrid? Which is better for long term stay?

Is anyone working or has worked for US based product companies as a Product Manager? If yes, then needed to understand the following 1. Work culture and office hours 2. Type of work compared to top Indian product companies 3. Did you go down in your designation compared to previous designation in an Indian product company. Was it worth as you would have a better designation in India during that time period. 4. Long term prospects of getting called to work in US permanently or short term. Would be helpful as I am evaluating a job opportunity.

Hey all, I've recently recieved a couple of offers in the product management space and would be grateful if y'all could help me weigh in the pros and cons. Context: I'm a Tier-1 engineering grad with <1 yoe. 1. Product analyst at an insanely profitable, bootstrapped startup in the gaming space (industry of preference). The product and strategy are best in class and would be a great learning experience. I would be working in the team associated with their primary cash cow business unit. However, I've heard that the working hours are slightly long and wlb would take a hit. Also, my pay would be quite high and if I were to make a switch for an APM role, there would be very few options that would give a hike over this given my YOE. 2. Associate Product Manager at Flobiz, a Fintech pivoting to be a neobank for SMEs. This was my first offer and on informing the HR that I would be taking up the other offer, the co-founder who had taken my final interview has requested me for a chat. The work culture seems great with a strong alumni network currently in the firm. They are ready to match the pay as well but ESOPs would probably not be liquidated any time soon. The brand name is inferior as well, compared to the other firm.

Is it a good time for early in career(1.5 YoE) to join Google India. I am curious about their current culture like WFH policies, management outlook, direction of company, growth opportunity etc in Bangalore offices only. What can you tell as an insider to someone on the outside looking at Google for possible next switch. Also, are there opportunities to shift from Bangalore to other location outside India?

Hi all, wanted to get insights on TATA Digital. Have the following questions - 1) How is the work culture? 2) Would it be a wise decision to explore a career there? For a non-tech role. 3) Are there any employee benefits that stand out? Thank you in advance for taking out the time and answering the queries 😊

I've received offers for the PM role from both Swiggy and Headout and am uncertain which one to choose. Although I know the team function and dynamics play a crucial role, my information on that is limited. Here are my priorities for the next stint: 1) Good work culture & WLB - Don't want 12hr+ workdays, and random layoffs affecting my mental peace. From what I've gathered, Headout seems to better in this area. I've heard that Swiggy has a history of silent layoffs and that teams suffer from poor WLB. 2) Good learning curve - I’m looking for a role with less firefighting and more in-depth problem-solving. While this can vary by team, I've heard that Headout places a strong emphasis on professional growth by mentoring and providing quality projects. 3) Future exit opportunities - Swiggy's brand name is a significant factor, potentially offering more and better future opportunities compared to Headout. Please help me with any reviews/experiences that you have for the product culture at both these orgs so that I'm able to make a more informed decision!

Hey all, I have offers from GE Digital and Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG). Please help me decide which to choose, in terms of culture, type of work and everything. GE location is Bangalore and UKG location is Noida. CTC of UKG is a little higher than GE but in hand at the end of 1st year is approx same in both. P.S. I am a 2024 grad and more inclined towards cloud and DevOps domain. Thank you
