Never worked in FAANG. Based out of India and got an offer from Google L5. But the pay is pretty similar and I would need to move to Bangalore (based out of my hometown now). Trying to figure out if Google brand is indeed valuable to move or not. I had interviewed to keep my skills sharp for any good opportunity but struggling with over analysis TC: 1.6cr (~200k usd)
What is the offered TC ? And no Google doesn't have same brand name it used to have 5 years ago. Now it's just some other big tech. Personally I wouldn't move from my home town to banglore especially since you are already at Confluent which is complete remote.
If you’re ok with Bangalore then yea
Congrats OP. I would suggest taking it. You can always switch to WFH company later too.
Your yoe? Currently freelancer? How much were you able to save so far with such high tc in wfh? Congrats btw
Savings are decent and happy with it - around 1cr. Thank you!
Offered TC breakup?
Don't run behind money and lose your sanity. Bangalore is a terrible city to live. YOU WILL REGRET IF YOU MOVE
Anything other than traffic? I have 2 kids (11 and 9), so got to decide if we move now or just not move at all
Oh please. don't ever bother if you have kids. Save their lives and future by staying wherever you are. And please don't underestimate traffic, when i say traffic, i refer to life. Add water issues in summer, flooding in monsoon, dengue/cholera all over. you know what, ppl still come and will remember my comment 3 months after the move and regret
@OP is this for L5 SWE ?
No.
