Eventhough I told my expectation is of 25 LPA fixed. Tech stack - Angular 1.x and React and Scala with unit testing PTOs 21days + 7 days shutdown during New Year + 8 sick leaves.(Bazaarvoice) I showed a competive offer of 20LPA to both of them.

given the offers, joining the first company makes more sense as they are giving a joining bonus and is remote for a while. The tech stack is better as compared to angular 1x. Also you would not want to relocate to bangalore at this time where rents are sky high.

But I am thinking of switching within an year so the joining bonus won't make much sense.

What is the livspace's esop strike price?

Red Hat mg1234567 OP May 7, 2022

They don't have a strike price because no buy back option is there
