Confused between 2 offers. Flipkart india-techno functional role or IT Executive at qatar.
I am currently working as a software engineer particularly in AI and automation. At 3LPA. I have got 2 offers (both through reference).
One is from Qatar, it's an IT Executive role, most of which will be support work, at 3.5k QAR. The company is based on construction material supplier, the job will be in their head office ( visibility will be good as the managers and senior managers and head of region will also be working from the same office.
Another is from Flipkart india, flipkart role is NOT the standard SDE role. I will be required to even travel to multiple warehouses and identifying inefficiencies in supply chain operations and fix them using technology (only if it can be solved using tech). The role is paying 8-10LPA.
I am confused, I am not fond of chasing every new AI framework. But i am really good at development. I need to make a decision,
If I choose the qatar based role then maybe get cloud certifications then move to cloud/devops or maybe get IT Management certifications and move towards IT management?
Or should I play it safe at flipkart?
What if I identify pain points at the qatar's business operations and approach the manager (ofcourse after gaining his trust) and say I can automate some parts of his work using AI?
That way I can put I have worked on AI based usecases at this role.
Apart from this, I am also involved in a startup (not official yet but we do have paying clients here in India and the products are in AI).
Maybe I can also put this work under the IT Executive title and apply for AI based roles there?
How does this plan sound? Is it doable if determined?
Even if I don't get the AI automation work(if the manager is not convinced). I can still do the cloud certifications and ge tinto system admin or cloud roles? (At 2years Exp. 1year indian software developer + 1year as IT Executive at qatar)?
What do you guys think? What should I do?
At qatar, accomodation is provided, transportation is not needed as the flat is just right next to the company office. So only food expense will be a major expense.
What do y'all think? What should I do? How easy will it be for me to switch after a year in Qatar as IT Executive - Business Automation role?
