Was i right?

I’m a product analyst with 2.5 YOE making 13.5LPA at startup. I have been offered 18 + 2 LPA at a conglomerate for product analyst role. Pros: 1. New Tools to work with 2. Hybrid Model 3. Good WLB 4. No Volatility Cons 1. Product Analyst Role again (I wanted to get into senior level roles) Do you think I should wait it out and play the long game? or take the offer and chill. They were layoffs at my current firm and they are acting very stringent about timings, travelling in Bangalore traffic is a big dealbreaker in itself, but there’s an appraisal cycle coming (with no hopes of a solid appraisal but I might get promoted and I also like the work and team at current firm)

Did I take right decision? Infact for software engineer I was given all options like python, ai, researcher , java but I chose Business analyst, some one comment and let me know because as SDE I can earn more than BA or PM.

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.

Hey everyone, I'm currently at a crossroads in my career and seeking advice. I have 3.5 years of experience in social media analytics and make 6.5LPA. My academic background is a little messed up as I dropped out of engineering to study BBA. I'm passionate about technology and am trying to decide between a career in product management or analytics. I'm also planning to apply to business schools this year. I'm wondering where I can make more money in the long term. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

To give a brief background, I did BTech in biotechnology from a tier 2 college which I soon realised didn’t have any interest in. Currently 24YOE I took up a job as an operations analyst at a series b funded startup. Worked on internal tools + gsheets + SQL(basic select queries). Became expert of this internal tool but realised the skill and knowledge isn’t transferable. Got promoted to project analyst within a year and started handling internal teams + client comm. gave 1 year to this position. Currently at 8LPA Now I am looking to switch and unable to understand which way should I go. Have interest in business strategy + data related work.

A popular thread here on grapevine had some amazing stories on salary hikes. This thread is for the stories of people who let go of higher pay because of some reason. Did you ever let go off higher pay offers than your current pay? Reasons could be anything (comfortable current role, better role somewhere else, took bet on a startup, location constraints, gut feelings, felt higher pay would come with higher pressure, etc.) How did your decision pan out? Would you say you did the right thing?

Just wanted to see general sentiment. Coming from a tier 1 clg in du most roles offer between 50-80k base, not including variable. Also do mention the field you've gotten into, thanks.

I want to shift from core to analytics. I have been offered 11lac for the analyst role and currently my CTC is 9, shall I accept this offer considering I want to shift to non core and also don't have any experience or shall I wait for better offers?
