I have two offers to move out of my current position. Can you please help me evaluate my offers better? My current role is swe in the data team. 1. Offer 1 - 12 LPA INR fixed Consultancy company developing solutions on cloud and backend. Role is not thoroughly defined, but the gist is I get to work on backend, cloud, big data tools like hadoop/spark/hive/python/aws/gcp/azure. I also might have the opportunity to work across roles like data engineering and swe backend. Company is pretty supportive in terms of L&D. The company has existed for the past 15 years with clients from europe/aus and now expanding into apac from this year onwards. I checked glassdoor and it looks like i'm being offered 40% more than what is typically offered for the position. 2. Offer 2 - 16 LPA INR fixed Startup focused on developing an AI platform to analyze user conversations, both customer and within enterprise, and come up with insights for executives to help decision making process. Company has existed from 2017, with a seed funding of $500,000 on early 2019. There are a total of 20 employees. I would be joining the core engineering team as the python/django/backend/platform developer responsible for developing modules and NLP/AI algorithms to ship to customers. Tech stack involves python/django. I'm leaning towards the first offer because the second offer's role is pretty vague and I'm not sure how long the funding might be present. But the second offer TC is pretty high and it's a huge bump for me. Wont this bump help me when I jump next? I'm not sure how to evaluate this... My target in the next 2 years is to get to 20-30 LPA at the minimum for TC. I have started LCing only recently. TC: 8 LPA INR YOE: 2y 8m EDIT: Please support your votes with a comment explaining your reasoning. This will help me understand better. #salaries #indiasalary #india #tech
You are young so take risks! The payoff will be better than that mnc. Even if startup fails you will learn a lot more.
Not young actually. I'm 27... But ya I see your point.
27 is young. :) just make sure the startup has a good leadership, shit management makes life hell.
