Currently at Microsoft, level 61. Currently CTC not even worth mentioning. YOE - 3.5

Offer from Google -
L4
CTC - 70LPA INR. ( Base + 33% stocks + joining bonus) (36+25+8) pretty standard offer

Offer from FB -
E4
CTC - 131GBP ( Base +25% stocks + joining) (85 + 30 + 16)

Need help in deciding.
Money is not the only factor. Need perspectives about growth, work, and opportunities to eventually moving to US.
I know that offer for india is very good. Also need a comparison idea to the london offer.

Also, if i reject any offer now, will that affect my chances of joining the company in future?

  • 70 LPA in india > 1.2 cr in london.
    Google > Facebook
    Relocation from google is easy. You can relocate to US or london after a year.
    WLB at google >> Facebook
    With Meta’s recent stock crash, I don’t think Meta is that great an opportunity anymore.

    My vote goes to Google.

      Is improved communication skills (by living in London) a major factor for easy transfer? Or is there a bias towards London teams?

      Deciding between new grad Amazon Dublin vs Google India (interviewing meta London). More than double savings in Amazon is giving me a pause. Though immediate goal is moving to US

  • You can go to Google India anytime. FB London is a great opportunity

    • I mean, with FB London on your resume, you can always come back and have a great offer in India. If not Google, plenty of other companies would be willing to give you a great compensation.

      People need to realise life doesn't end at Google. Their monopoly has been more or less broken by many tech companies in India too.

    • Hey, why do you think Facebook london is a better opportunity than google? Instead of just saying what you feel, you should give logical reasons.

      Apart from london exposure how is Facebook a better opportunity.

      1. High taxes in london. OP won’t save much.
      2. Bad WLB at meta
      3. Stagnant salaries.
      4. Away from friends/family
      5. Dating scenario is bad for Indian males. If OP is a woman, then I guess it’s fine.

      My friend in bloomberg london often feels lonely cuz he had to leave his girlfriend. And now he can’t get a gf there as Indians are heavily stereotyped.

      Google has better brand value.
