Open AI GPT updates -- what's next? Any ideas?
Last edit: Joining Browser stack. :) End [INDIA] Which one I should join. Worked as a backend software developer. YOE - 4+ yrs TC BrowserStack : Mumbai - SDE 2 - 30.40 LPA -> 26.5 base + 2.65 bonus + 5 esop/ 4 years #edit Updated Offer: BrowserStack : Mumbai - SDE 2 - 32.9 LPA Breakup-> 28 base + 78k Medical and stuff + 2.8 bonus + 5.60 esop/ 4 years #end Zynga: Bengaluru - SDE 2 - 32 LPA - 23 base + 2.3 bonus + 7 esop/ 1 year In Zynga, I have to work on unity and c#. whereas BrowserStack is providing a backend engineer position. Major consideration points WLB and location. Will working with Unity and c# be a dead end for my backend exp? TC in Walmart: SDE 1 - 17.8 - 13 base + 1.3 bonus + 3.5 ESOP Edit: In browser stack 5 lakhs and 60k of ESOP is spread across 4 years #zynga #browserstack
Is Zynga still relevant? Browserstack isn’t that great either, if I were you , I would work at Zynga because it’s in Bangalore, for some time and then transition towards some senior role at Microsoft.
Will working with Unity and c# be a dead end?
I’m inclined towards saying yes but are you sure Zynga has only these two in their tech stack ? I thought some of their projects are in Go & Java. Having said that, Browserstack Mumbai? Are you comfortable moving to Mumbai in the near future? But if it’s Browserstack Bangalore, I would take that without any question.
Congratulations on the good bump
Another thing to keep in mind - For Zynga, it's not esop, but rsu since it's a listed public company.
Will it be good move to join zynga and later transition to faang.. is it possible considering most of the work is on unity and c#
Don't join Zynga India. It's an outsourcing shop of dying games from US. Work life balance sucks apart from dull and boring work. I'd say keep looking for more opportunities.
+1 for dying games, wlb was okay for my team. Although hikes/bonus and work isn't good.
For browserstack, you have included 5Lacs in ESOPs in your TC where infact it should be 1.25lacs. 5Lacs will vest over 4 years and hence shouldn’t be included in TC.
maybe he considered per year only
Maybe. As far as I know, Browserstack offers 10% of base pay as Variable + 20% of base pay as Total ESOPs. I was coming from the perspective
Unity/C# = Career dead end
BrowserStack is shit once you know from inside
Zynga peeps saying zynga is shit. Browser stack peeps saying browser stack is shit
What can I do then 😂
I'd say just accept any offer and use that to negotiate a higher TC in a better company during the notice period. Browserstack seems like a better choice but lot's of engineering is becoming shit here. Not sure about zynga.
Can I get a referral in Browserstack?
OP - hope by now you understood there is nothing called perfect company , whichever is giving more salary, close eyes and just move there.
Zynga has good wlb
Personal exp? If so what team?
