By lower profile, I mean shitty work.

Suppose you are a distributed systems or an ML engineer. Would you accept a testing profile from another company if offered a higher salary than your current role? Why/why not?

      current TC β‰  future earnings

      testing is being automated faster than distributed/ML, and hence does not have as much sustainable growth

    If you are already top of the band TC for that level and you have been offered 2.5x-3x, its worth considering. Otherwise not so much, as you can always trade up without selling your soul.

  • I don't care about visibility, but I do care deeply about whether I am doing interesting work that keeps me engaged and learning.

    I would be willing to accept lower TC for a role that will put me in a position to do exciting projects and facilitate a ton of personal learning and growth.
