This will be my first ever switch, should I dew it?

I'm 22.

Associate Product Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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 🙏

Software Engineer

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.

1 year into job, what to do next?

Product Marketing Manager

I am SDE and I joined a company 2.5 months back. I don't like the work that I am doing and the company is far from being profitable+ a huge cash burn + management is not good.
I interviewed with some other company and they have offered me a role. On paper it's an upgraded role but they are offering the exact salary as the current one + some esops.

Would you accept the offer if you were in my place?

Some general info:
1. Hate the work I am doing currently, the knowledge I get here can't be used in other companies.
2. Work is slow, not learning anything new
3. New company seems good from outside till now, have to validate with ex-employees
4. New company has Hybrid work, current is WFO
5. Have another offer which is paying a bit more than the 'new company' but don't want to join it, These guys are not matching the offer sadly

Should I switch again?

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

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I work as a Senior Operations Associate, work is challenging and  I learn a lot everyday, but I want more money, because I work really hard.
The thing is the company culture and all is very good and on top of it, it's fully remote, hence I am afraid if I'll find the same thing in other places or not.

Will complete 2 years in next few weeks, and I've observed that lately the work I've been doing somewhat aligns with Management, Strategy, Growth and Consulting roles (read some JDs on LinkedIn and Indeed for some positions and more than 60-70% were common with what I do almost everyday)

Hence I'm in a dilemma what to do what not to do.
Anyone went through the same phase please share your experience.

Any suggestions for good certifications or courses that can help me outstand or be better in this field will be really appreciateed (better if non expensive 🥲)

Strategy & Operations

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

Hey all, i was thinking of making a switch now after completing 1.5 years roughly (the while process might take 3/4 months roughly as i need to prepare everything from beginning). Was confused between joining an established company vs a startup.

I personally want to join the former as i want to focus on other interests of mine and am fine with less salary but with less stress and working hours.
My friends are suggesting to for the latter as im still a beginner and should focus more on learning.
Im not very passionate about software development but i would say im av+, what would anyone of you would have done?

Need advice for Switch

I joined my current org right out of college and have been working here for 2+ years. I really like the company’s culture, openness while pay is also great as per my standards and needs.

I recently interviewed for a startup casually and got an offer as well. Now I’m in a dilemma whether I should join the new org or stay although the pay jump looks pretty decent to me. 

P.S. Not a brag post but genuinely looking for answers as I’m really out of touch with the industry and given the current recession, can’t really make up my mind.

Current TC.- 20
Offered - 26 + variable

Should I switch if I really like my current org?

Graduated in 2021 have 2 yoe working in a b2b unicorn as sde-1, earning 20lpa fixed no esops. I made one switch last year. But now I realised I was learning more in my previous product company. Here most of the work is boring like writing repeated sql queries minor bug fixes and very little coding. 

Is 20lpa low as per industry standards for 2 yoe in bengaluru ?

Should I switch?

Product Owner

Hey folks, I have been working in startups for my entire experience and was wondering if it would be worth it to switch to a bigger org for better growth/learning in this market?

My reasons to switch

1. Low learning potential: I am a senior SDE here and WLB here is really good, too good in fact (I barely work a couple of hours if even that), this is leading to a lower learning potential, the work I get assigned, I complete in a couple of hours and while I have been given bigger projects, the learning is not there, I can easily complete them, and since I am the senior SDE here, I cant ask anyone to review my code/performance

2. Startup is in early seed stage, and there is definitely an uncertainty here about surviving till next year

3. I wasnt given much of a hike despite a level promotion (just 10%).

My manager is really awesome and one of the best guys I have ever worked under and honestly I wouldnt even think of switching if I had 5-6 YOE but at this point, I think i need to learn more and get some more guidance/review from experienced folks to grow. My salary is decent, but having my friends work in FANG/FANG-equivalent is definitely not helping my FOMO, specially when I hear about their projects in their orgs and compare it to mine which are nowhere near theirs in score or complexity.

and the reason why I am hesitating to switch is seeing the layoffs news coming in everyday, I can prep for interviews in the next couple of months and probably apply then but seeing all of these layoffs and folks finding it hard to land jobs is making me fear that I will lose this job with nothing to show for it in the end.

So, should I switch in this market or stick it out in my current org until market situation improves (considering it wont improve until next financial year)?

EDIT: posted this again because I couldn't edit the last post

Should I switch in the current market? (Need guidance from experienced folks)

I have received an offer from B2B startup, fairly early stage bootstrapped and going for series A this year.
Base 45
JB 2
Variable 12%
And esops worth 30L over four years
Role SDE 2

YOE 3.5

should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.

Should I choose 45L or wait for FAANG?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Also, how much ESOPs should I ask for?
