    1) Learning curve - Infosys does more than 20,000 projects. Some of them are controlled by them, in many others they just supply people. Though they may hire you as a Sr Data scientist, all they care is about getting you billed by a customer. The work may be extremely good, pretty ordinary or soul sucking or may not be related to data science at all - it is purely based on luck

    Growth - Moneywise you won’t get a hike or promotion in the next five years or ever. You are a product - there is no incentive to give extra money - worst case you quit, they hire someone else

    Stability - If you are billed, you will not get fired so quite stable. Finding a project is not very difficult

    Switching - Nobody in the US cares that you worked for Infosys - in any case you work for the client and Infosys is just a mediator in many cases. Microsoft has more than 1k alumni from Infosys and so has Amazon. Apple has more than a few hundred so cannot matter

    Company culture sucks but it’s ok if you know what to expect

    Are you in India or US. I am assuming your 127k is in INR. If it really is that much in USD why would you care about the culture. You are basically getting paid equivalent to a director level salary in India.
