"strategic" decision - stay or chase TC? looking for advice

Oct 18, 2021 11 Comments

Same old confusion about whether to grind it here or look outside. stuck at mediocre TC and manager says he will "try" for level bump (next cycle? who knows).

I won't lie, there are a lot of positives - can't complain about work life balance, the team/product is alright as well (sorry can't reveal the specifics). it's just that the TC sucks, specially when I compare it to folks at other places who are not brighter than me by any means (I probably need to stop comparing, I know!). interview prep and execution takes time and effort, esp if targeting google, amazon etc. some of the other companies might be slightly easier to get in, but then there is this feeling of down-leveling on the "brand".

i know i sound stupid and even contradictory, but that's the reason i am seeking help!
