Help me choose the offers

Hi Folks, A bit of self introduction: Total experience: 6.5 years Designation: SSE backend Industry: SaaS I currently have 3 offers in hand. Two confirmed and one is in the last stage of interviewing. The two offers are from AZIRA (previously NEAR intelligence) and FIVETRAN for java SSE back end role. Both are based out of Bangalore. The last one is from EA games Hyderabad which is a contract role by a 3rd party parent company. The TC offered by Fivetran is 40 LPA and and Azira is open to discussion to match it if I am willing to join them. The EA sports contract role is coming near to 36 LPA. FIVETRAN: I will be joining the sql database connector team with US counterparts as its completely developed by them and it is being transferred to India. So I am guessing there will be more maintenance work involved here at odd hours. Will have to connect with US peers for first few months for all the kt. Also in my last company, most of the work I did is around data movement (ETL) and connectors in house. So I have some decent understanding of how the work is going to be. I am also afraid that the work is going to be a bit boring due to my past experience. AZIRA: Not much info here. Very few Glassdoor reviews. Couldn’t draw any conclusion. The whole engineering team size is relatively small (30-40) and all are based out of india. So it will be easy for me in terms of communication and collaboration. EA: Again not much info here. There are many internal projects and I might join any of them if selected as a contract employee. Mostly I’ll not be joining EA due to location constraint. But am not able to decide between Azira and fivetran. Help me with all your first hand experiences please.

Please help me decide if I made the right choice

I got three job offers for SDE2. I accepted the offer (30LPA) with the lowest pay but loved the interview process, loved how they didn't waste my time (offer rolled in 2 weeks). Even their Google reviews and Glassdoor has 5 stars. Early stage startup, but they have a tech product with a very bright future (seed funded). And culture is amazing, founders are bright. Second offer was from a mid-sized fintech startup (series C funded). Offer was for 34 lakhs. The interview process was okay but that set me off was that they wanted to conduct another design round after my final Hiring Manager interview as their team categorised my interview as "Weak Hire". They even told me that to my face. 😂 I cleared the subsequent design round but the whole process was lengthy (1 month). Third offer is from an AI company with horrible glassdoor reviews. They took 2 months of time to finish the entire interview process. Even the product doesn't seem like it will survive in next 4-5 years. Offer from them is 42 LPA. I got laid off a couple of months ago, so instead of higher pay I went to the company where I could learn more, get good peers, and increase my skillset. I hope that this decision makes sense. I tried to negotiate with Company A but they were unwilling to go beyond 30, I did mention I have other offers which are higher. I didn't include the joining bonus and ESOP components in all companies, but they are there.

NEED ADVICE ON JOB OFFER DILEMMA!!

I find myself in a rather perplexing situation at work and could use some impartial advice. Currently, I am employed at an Indian e-commerce firm where I have put in a lot of hard work. However, during the recent annual cycle, I was not promoted, and my salary hike was disappointingly meager (CCTC 14.5LPA). Naturally, I expressed my concerns to my manager, who advised me to wait until the mid-cycle as my promotion case would be reconsidered then. In the meantime, I actively sought out new opportunities, and I have received an enticing offer from a Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) firm with a significantly higher compensation of 24LPA. This is substantially more than what I'm currently earning, but less than my expected CTC that is around 28-30LPA. The confusion lies in the fact that my current firm has now initiated the promotion feedback process, and it's possible that I may get the promotion soon. I'm now torn between two choices: do I stay at my current job, potentially get the promotion, and then reconsider switching, or do I seize the opportunity at the CPG firm with the better financial package? I understand that both options have their pros and cons, but I'm finding it challenging to make a decision on my own. Any advice or insights you could provide would be immensely helpful in guiding me through this tough decision-making process.
