I have gotten offer from zynga india for software Engineer 1 position and also from another company for a backend developer role .

The tech stack at zynga is on C# unity .

Zynga tc : 25 lac
Other company tc :18 lac

What should I got for ? . Although the composition is higher for zynga I am concerned about getting in the game dev industry and then having limited scope while looking for jobs outside of zynga in future .
Also switching jobs to tech companies from zynga might be tougher.

    Well, I work as a backend engineer at Zynga and our tech stack is very on phar with typical tech companies. But sounds like you are going in as a "client engineer" which means you will be working on a game client stack (Unity). Anyone at Zynga can be full stack if you find the opportunity to so so, just be very careful not to stay in Unity for long or you will be limited to Game Dev and that's not good for your career.

    For what is worth Zynga is an amazing place to work. Everyone is super helpful and nice and WLB is amazing. Plus in the year or so that I've been here some co-workers have found opportunities in FAANG if that's your ultimate goal

      Also, I don't think that will limit your scope unless you are made to work on a tech that is specific to game dev.
