Worried that our top performer is an attrition risk. How do managers handle this?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
I have recently got offer from Microsoft and Flipkart. In MS its Office 365 team and base is 24LPA and stocks of 50 K usd. In flipkart base is 27 lpa and some penny stocks. I saw in most of the reviews work will not be that great in MS. But in flipkart work might be better and open source but there is chance of layoffs as they are hiring like anything. In news it seems like walmart may also backoff soon.Are they planning for IPO and increasing headcount for that. Can i see carrer in flipkart for atleast 3+ years from now. How is the work in Office 365 group.will c# close options in future as its mainly used by them. Please suggest which one to choose.
If u want to switch go for office or stay where you are. There are high chances that walmart will follow what uber did.
Ms
MS for sure.
What org in Flipkart?
Its ekart team. Flipkart fullfillment services grp
Go for MS then. FSG is the only org in Flipkart which is bad and toxic. I too left from there. See if your recruiter can find a different org for you.
What work you do doesn't matter much. Ms will be much better for your future.
In the long term they are looking for IPO but for that they are looking to decrease losses. Why do you think they would increase headcount for that ? Though can't say if there won't be any layoffs in the next 3 years.
Increase headcount helps to get better listed with higher open value. Btw i am also not sure what's happening in Indian market ola and swiggy are also hiring in similar way
Work in flipkart is definitely not "open source" - almost noone contributes regularly to oss, neither are most of internal softwares released in open. Yes you consume them, just like everywhere. Not sure about layoffs - still hiring enough people and don't see any cost-cutting. I wouldn't worry about it as of now. You can easily jump ship later. Work wise, it is ok. Most things are internal facing, lot of internal services and still little haphazard.
No by open source i meant usign open source tech stack as in ms it will be .net and stuff. Can i see career for 3+ yrs in fsg (ekart) grp
Don't know particularly about ekart org. Have seen someone recently move from our org to ekart, so i am assuming it's not that bad. I think its safe to see 3yr career at flipkart overall - anyway ipo is supposed to be around 2022 (what the media says) and you can change org after a year. From what i have heard, managers don't try to prevent while changing org, although you have to make out-of-loop connection with the new manager.
MS all the way.
What do you mean by Walmart backing off OP?
Walmart selling its shares to someone else or stop giving funding to Flipkart
Thats strange. I thought Walmart had long term plans to invest in Flipkart and probably take over completely.
