Hi, so I recently got an offer of IC3 / SDE3 from Oracle Cerner (Oracle Health). The hike is good (35.3 LPA fixed + 5 Lakhs Joining Bonus + 6 LPA stocks per year for 4 years (total 24 Lakhs of stocks)). I am currently a SDE2 at JPMC earning 29 LPA fixed + 4 LPA bonus paid every year. During the final round of interview, I discussed with my Oracle manager about the nature of work, etc. He was honest with me and told me that the team is into Cloud Engineering and that the nature of work for the most part may be more DevOps/Support engineer like. This is entirely different from my work ex of a standard Software Developer. He also said that if I’m not satisfied I can switch teams after a year. I don’t know how to proceed from here. The thing is I really want to move, whether internally or externally. The culture in my current team is toxic and I don’t want to stay here. I have not accepted my offer yet. Should I ask the Oracle HR to consider me for a different team? Do I just wait and try for an internal transfer? What else would you advise me? Please help. TC: 33 LPA, YoE: 4 #engineering #software #swe
The comp doesn’t seem to be changing significantly 33 vs 35 (joining bonus is one time only so not considering that). The only differentiation is due to stocks. Hope you have considered the vesting period for stocks. Hikes at JP could be better than that at Oracle at SDE3 level (that’s my perception and I may be completely wrong). Hope you make an informed decision.
Doesn't hurt to ask.. Maybe one more round by the new team. Or they might tell you it's not allowed.
Be honest and share your concern openly. Tell them you really are looking to make the switch and it would greatly benefit both parties if you can fit into another team.
