Would say look for company culture and attrition rate. Money won’t make much of a difference if they make your life hell.  
  
 Also, just want to ask how much is your experience and what tech stack? 
 If you are a fresher then you could go for the grind as well.

I have received an offer from Dubai Based early stage startup with 30L Base + 5L Variable + 8L ESOPs (per year)
The catch since it's a outside company TDS is not there I can play around with the taxes 

I have another offer with 40L fixed + 2 Joining Bonus + 5L Esops but it's an India based company 

Can anyone give me genuine advice around this?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi Grapeviners, 

I have an exp of exactly 2 years and i received an offer from a startup for analyst (level 1) at a cash component of ~ 20L (includes 10 % variable)  and ESOP worth 3 L. My current company had an all fixed comp at 15 LPA ( fully remote) but the new company is WFO at Bangalore. 

I am also giving interviews for two other companies parallelly but my LWD of my current company was yesterday. Should I go ahead with this offer? Overall it looks decent but it's definitely not a financial improvement for me as the hike will offset the living expenses and the 30% tax bracket. 

Need your take on this guys. Should I wait more? The current offer I cannot hold for more than a week before it expires.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Is it a good idea to switch from a product manager role in India to Dubai? I’m currently getting paid 36LPA as a PM2 in one of Fintech Unicorns in India. Have about 4years of PMing experience. Please suggest, also as I’m doing research for this topic i’ll put up all my research on this thread.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What is a reasonable ask while negotiating with startups?

Should I ask for a match or hike of X% over my TC/annum (52lk Base + 8lk Bonus + Rs30lk RSUs), or should I negotiate only over the Cash (Base + Bonus) component?

A startup I’m negotiating with is not considering the RSUs I have and is offering a 8% hike only on the cash component, and is throwing in ESOPs (paper money) instead.

What do I do?

Product Manager

In a bit of a dilemma. 

I joined a well-known / well -funded startup in a mid level role 3 days back.

A Dubai based startup that I had previously interviewed with a few months back, got back to me with a 30k AED / month offer yesterday.

Questions - 
1. Is 30K AED a good salary for Dubai, considering what I make in India?
2. Would it reflect badly if I leave the current company in the first week, considering I made them wait for 2 months of my joining (I don't see my role as super critical for them).

From a job role POV, the dubai role feels more fulfilling. The India role offers a better employer brand. 

What are your thoughts on what I should do?

55 LPA in India v/s 3.6L AED in Dubai - Confused.

Hey folks, 
Got a full time offer as an APM and they offered: 
1. 10 LPA Base
2. 1 lakh Retention Bonus (will be given in the first month)

Should I accept or negotiate for more? If I negotiate, which component should I negotiate and how much? 

Thanks in advance.

I just joined a company and it's been only 2 weeks. When I accepted the offer there was another interview in pipeline and some delay was going. The result came and now I am confused what to do. 

Startup (current company) TC : 27+2 (base+pf)

New Offer from a big firm: 31.5+3.15+1.51+45kUSD(Base+target bonus+pf+stocks 4yrs) = 43.87LPA Annual CTC

It's not easy as it seems. The startup (curr company) has great culture and tech stack. The product is exciting. It is part of a larger parent company. 

Whereas the big firm (new offer) works on a Monolith and work mostly uses Java. Codebase is 20yrs old according to Hiring manager. And one more thing - I hate Java. Why the difference has to be so big in TC 😭 I don't like to be confused. Have you ever been in such a situation? I want to relate my situation.

Hi, I got an offer from a Series B startup and they are giving me 3000 shares of ESOPs vested over 4 years. Right now the value of each shares are worth $5 and has a potential to grow after new funding rounds this year. I feel 3000 shares is less and want to negotiate for more. 

In your experience can anyone tell me how much ESOPs (shares) have you received from new startups? And was it benefecial in the long run?

Any input is appreciated.

How much ESOPs should I ask from a Series B startup?

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?

Advice about offer

Welcome to Salary Discussion's Private Community

Staff software engineer saas company with $200mn-+ARR. $1.2 bn valuation (undervalued but a good thing for me)

Cash component - 65lac (honestly I'm happy with it and not looking to get it improved) 


ESOPS - this is a bit tricky as I'm getting 6k units at $3.5 strike price (I feel the company should be valued at 2x it's current valuation and with $7 price of one share make 4 lac a year here when exercise)


My question How does the ESOPS compare with other comparable unicorn SaaS companies like postman, razorpay etc. ?
