[FRESHER] Startup vs TCS Digital: Which Offers Better Career Growth and Future Opportunities?

Hi everyone,

I’m a recent graduate and currently have two job offers: one from a US-based startup led by Indian founders and another from TCS. I need some guidance to make the best decision. Here’s my situation:

  1. Startup: • Offers flexibility and independence, but has no social presence or corporate structure—no tools like Jira, leave portals, or scrum meetings, just BitBucket and Excel files. • The work environment is very basic, with minimal processes. • There’s a 2-year bond, and breaking it will cost around 1.3 lakh (~1.5 months’ salary).

  2. TCS: • Provides a well-structured environment, established processes, and tools. • I believe it has more brand value, especially in the corporate world.

Main questions:

  1. From a career perspective, which company will give me better future opportunities and offers? Does TCS have more value compared to a startup with no social presence?

  2. I’m currently working as an iOS developer, but I don’t want to stay in this track for the long term. I want to transition into fields like web development, Java, or Python in the future. If I stay in iOS for 2 years, will it limit my ability to shift to a new tech stack later?

  3. Overall, which company should I choose based on growth, learning, and future opportunities?

Your advice will help me a lot. Thank you!
