Hi Community,

I am a 2023 CSE Grad from Tier 1, Currently I am an Automation Engineer at Sprinklr and I recently received an offer from Swiggy for the role of ASDE backend, before joining Sprinklr as an Automation Engineer, I interned in a startup where my tech stack was backend. But the Swiggy compensation is not matching what I am currently getting in sprinklr. Should I join Swiggy or stay at Sprinklr and look for a better opportunity than Swiggy please suggest!!!!!

Should I Join Swiggy as an ASDE Backend?

Which one is good, considering 2-3 years timeframe and which one opens door for next job offers

Help decide the optimal offer

Currently I am working as an SDE - 1(8 base) in gurugram, I received an offer for an automation engineer role from Sprinklr (16.5 base). I am 2023 grad from IIIT and have a good knowledge of DSA and System Design. Some days back I received an SDE-1 offer from a Singapore stealth startup(13 base) but couldn't join them. Now I have this offer, I am still looking to switch to SDE-1 position, but due to the market situation not getting enough interview calls. So is it advisable to join an automation role and look for the SDE roles in parallel? since I believe that sprinklr tag will help me in getting the opportunities but I don't know whether my resume will be shortlisted for the SDE roles if I have an automation role in my resume. Please give your honest opinion and help me to make the decision..

Is it good to switch to an automation role from SDE?

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?

Need advice. Which company to choose.

I'm currently a SWE intern at a Series A startup (loss making) and they have offered me a full-time role. They have 2 years of runway.

I also have an offer from a very recently funded seed stage startup (pre revenue) with the same runway. It is a team of 13 people.

As a fresh grad, considering similar pay and growth opportunities, which one should I join?

Good time to join an early stage startup as a fresher?

I received 2 offers recently, for context I'm graduating this year-

1 - a PPO for an early stage startup I have been interning for. TC - 10 base + share of revenue generated. Essentially it is a founders office role, but will be closing sales too. Good culture, profitable. 

2- Browserstack for SDET role, TC - 11 base + 5 performance pay+bonus. 

Conflict is - should I choose the startup due to its potential high returns and my preference for the founders office role or BS for stable income and brand value ?

Sales Development Representative

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.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am Interning at a very early stage startup in the Growth Team. My stipend is ₹15,000 p/m and the work is decent - community mgmt, content, product gamification & market research. It’s a pre-seed startup so sometimes I feel lack of resources are putting a cap on my abilities to execute. Though, the founder has assured that we’re close to raising pre seed. I am pretty good friends with the Founder and I’ve met him a few times.
Now, coming to the main part of problem - I casually applied for an Internship in a early stage startup but the team is sorted. They have funds and their founding team is super experienced. Stipend offered is 2x of what I’m getting.
I was wondering If I should opt for that? Or, keep my head down and work for the same startup, ignoring the money aspect? Pls lmk folks.

Optimise for Work or Money?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Received an offer for a role with Okta in their new India office as an associate solutions engineer.

24L INR OTE(80:20) + 16L RSU (3 year)

vs

Received another offer from a browserstack competitor startup LambdaTest for a solutions engineer role.

30L INR cash, no OTE. No esops (they're performance based)

Coming from a very niche AI field with experience of 5 years as a freelance developer / sales engineer consultant, but feel like I hit the plateau and now I want to restart my career in a new industry.

Both these companies will be a start from scratch for me.
Okta does need me to move to a new city (so about 6L yearly extra cost) while LambdaTest is remote.

1. Any insights?

2. The work culture can be too aggressive at LambdaTest compared to Okta? Is it worth it? I've mostly been working only 10-20 hour weeks for the past year as I was freelancing.

3. Is there potential for growth more at LambdaTest with that being a startup and all that?

4. With whom am I more likely to be able to pull off studying for unrelated certifications, masters exams, or freelance work?

5. Is taking slightly lesser pay at Okta worth it in terms of job stability and security considering the size of the corp?

Pre Sales

I've received two job offers and could use some advice on which one to choose.

Current: Software Engineer II
CTC: Around 12 LPA
YOE: Almost 3 years.

Offer 1: Product Development Engineer II, Razorpay

Offer 2: Software Engineer, Pluralsight

Both offers are in the range 18 LPA to 24 LPA and Pluralsight is the higher offer in terms of CTC. Also they seem to have more employee benefits compared to razorpay. Which offer seems more appealing based on the role, WLB, company outlook, growth etc.

Also a bit skeptical about the PDE II role at Razorpay because they mention that PDE II individuals can only advance to SDE 2 after being promoted to SDE 1 first, and then to SDE 2.

Offer Comparison

What would you choose between a job at a startup in Bangalore or at an agency in Goa?

for context- I’m a marketing fellow and This would be my first full time job. the salary offered is the same. 

given the pros and cons of both the situations, unable to decide between the two offers.

should i go for comfort in goa and quit after 7-8 months or choose the startup role and struggle initially to get a comfortable role later?

help me decide pls

Marketing Associate

I recently got offer from an early stage startup in banglore. They raised a total funding of $5.19M over 2 rounds.

My offer is 13 LPA + 1 lakh retention bonus
5k per month for commute and health insurance

I have past experience of 2 years working with 2 startups and building apps from scratch for them.

Honestly I'm really confused about this offer, it is for sure better than my previous offer but I'm not feeling satisfied.

Any suggestions guys?

Should I join?

I work in a US based fintech named as One.App I've joined them in January this year only. 
The thing is my manager is kind of toxic. What makes him toxic is he doesn't talk to me much whenever I go to him with problems instead of trying to help me. He says something like that's so poor documentation, I am horrified by looking at it. He doesn't even help me in making it better. Tries to just divert me to other people for help.

I have in total 5 years of experience.

The other company I am getting offers from is HackerRank. It offers me 12 Lacs less than the One.App but I've heard good things about them. So what do you guys think I should do?

Should I leave my company and join the company with a lower package?

Offer evaluation

I am not able to decide which one to choose. The Groww internship is guaranteed that if I perform well I will get PPO(15 LPA) and swiggy one is dicy if even it does have PPO. Since only one more month is left for my graduation, taking any of these internships will require me to leave the FTE offer. Any suggestions fellow developers??

I am fresher graduating in 2024. Having a Full time offer (8lpa) and intern offers from Groww & Swiggy.

Help me choose - Okta or LambdaTest

I'm a fresher, and in my last sem of Masters. I'm currently interning at Company A which will offer ppo of 6lpa.
I also have an offer from Company B with 9.12lpa ctc. 

The thing is I've got the developer role at my internship(company A) and the role I would get at Company B will be luck based(was campus placement).

So which offer should I proceed with? Which would be a wiser and better option?

Need help in choosing offer

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.
