I have two offers from Flipkart and Freshworks. I am confused what to choose? Please advice me. Flipkart base: 21.5 lpa - SDE 1 Backend Profile, Banglore Freshworks: 24 lpa - Senior Data Scientist, Chennai Joining bonus and stocks are somewhat same. If I choose Flipkart it will give me more learning experience. And in Freshwork I will have more base and if I try to switch I can get better higher base. Doubt in mind: 1)Should I choose Freshworks and then keep trying to switch as Sde2. 2)Join Flipkart as it will give better experience and good to have Flipkart in resume. If I join Flipkart. I would be Sde1 for one more year before I become sde2. I dont want to wait 1 year to be sde2. In Freshworks I am not sure what's the future of data Scientist as its very new area in tech companies. If I join as an Data Scientist will it be very difficult to explain why I want to be join Other company as Sde2. Yoe 2.5 Thanks in Advance.
If you join as a data scientist, forget about being considered as an SDE 2 anywhere. These are two very different roles. And even if you do manage to crack an SDE 2 interview, it'll be a struggle performing upto the expectation. Rather than the compensation/ level you should be looking at the role that interests you.
Go with flip kart if you want to be SWE
Join Flipkart. After taxes, it's just 14500/- more per month in Freshworks. Don't know about your hobbies - Bangalore is better than Chennai for pursuing hobbies
Damn even I had calculated this. But I was thinking what if I join freshworks and try to switch in less than 3 months. It won't affect my resume much and give me better edge to negotiate.
Have you been to Chennai? It's warm with high humidity and life sucks. Pick Bangalore and you can change company easily in Bangalore than in Chennai
Freshworks is overrated. Don't join there. I have friends there and it is definitely not at par with flipkart
+1 Flipkart
Don't down level, promos and hikes have really slowed down. Apply to few other companies. I would discard both offers. Also if you don't get promo, you may not get much hike because you are already top of the band for sde1, or you can accept fk and shift to SDE2 at other companies after 6 months
I hope you took Freshworks.
YOE ?
