Offer : E4 175k pounds Current: L4 56 Lakhs YoE: 1 year 7 months
Here's what I have considered:
Living in London is going to be costly, on an avg I'll be saving 1.2x of India.
Meta London created a bad reputation for itself when last year it laid off people from India just 2 days after joining
it's not worth it going from L4 to E4, I probably should switch only when getting a higher level or a big big pay bump (this is probably not a big pay bump considering the cost of living)
I am not very good at making friends, and I have quite some friends here now... I don't just want to leave everything and be alone in a new city so far away from home.
the only pro point I see is that.. it is London.
Do you think I should reconsider my decision?
Dude, take risk. I know staying in Google looks like safety net but You might not be able to do adventures stuff later in life. Moving to a new country, new food, new culture. You WILL meet new people. Those things can’t be bought.
Bhai vo Google se bhi ja sakta hai dusre desh
Google & safety @Sulphur 🤣🤣
Google layoffs are random & where as Amazon layoffs are based on performance & politics. You can survive the Amazon wave longer than Google. Also, After L7 things are not such risky at Amazon, at G even L9 gets laidoff.
London except zone 1 is a full of hateful towards Indian Hindus especially run by a certain group. Unless London Mayor changes to a different ethnicity nothing will change. Cambridge is far better than London in every aspect.
You’ll be safer in a Jungle in India rather than a Hindu outside Zone1.
Looks fake. Google will never give L4 to 1 YOE lol, it's the company that is notorious for downleveling people. Only PhDs start at L4, not even M.S !
haha, brother 4 Noograds from my batch were promoted to L4 in 1.3 years. You just need business impact and a good team ;)
Good for you then. As for your initial question, maybe consider Meta as the pace of growth there is faster than Google , even if initial savings is less.
