Hello! I'm currently working as a product developer at eBay and i'm a backend engineer (backend engineer with distributed systems). I like my work and what i learn, i'm a team lead and the pressure to constantly improve product and prove the work we are doing is meaningful is growing, i can switch team to get out of pressure as an option. Promotion is something i'm also trying for to increase my TC, talks with manager happening, i'll not be promoted if i switch. My TC will go from 235K -> 250k+ after the promotion. Recently i got an offer from Oracle as a principal with TC up to 280+K(Verbal numbers from recruiter) for next 4 years. Basically building cloud infrastructure in that company. Control plane, etc, I'm interested in working in it, but, i'm not sure how the future is in that field. It is also full Java, but it is more of tooling. I'm also interested in moving to India, so, with Oracle i can probably move to india for good in the future. With eBay i cannot. At oracle, there will be a lot of learning, as it is something i haven't worked on. I'm actually confused to take a switch now. Wait for promo? or join a field that i'm not too familar with? Keep trying in the area i'm working in? Already feel burned out with all preparation for jobs and working at eBay. tldr; feeling overwhelmed to switch to a new type of work at Oracle as i'm already a little burnt out with job search and work at eBay. With oracle, i can also plan my future move to India. TC increase of 20% #engineering #software #swe
Oracle is a shitty company to work at. They don’t care about people. If you think eBay is bad wait till you get to Oracle. But if your goal is to get back to India you have to do what you need to do.
could you refer?
Jump ship. I was in similar position, had some hiccups for promo and then finally abandoned ship for elsewhere. Take it to learn new things and maybe it'll help you to align your career.
