Need Help in Choosing offers , should i choose money or role.
YOE: 4yrs
Stack: Python, React.js, Next.js, Java Spring Boot (here and there), AWS.
Offers to evaluate:
- Publicis Groupe – 17 LPA - Backend Engineer (tech stack good) Stack: Java Spring Boot, GCP, NestJS
- Wipro (Blackstone CoE) – 37 LPA - huge pay but tech stack may not be right for me Stack: C#, Python, Oracle Fusion etc.
- Delloite Data Engineer: 21+2jb : i don't wanna be a DE at the moment.
- IBM consulting: 23lpa: AWS cloud full stack: Not leaning towards this cuz may/may not get the project of my choice
Offers in pipeline / I haven't asked them to generate it cuz of comparative pay:
- IQVIA (NP: 90 days, I would've gone for this but the team being put on isn't really nice): 28 LPA + 2 JB They are putting me in the integration team, validating devs' work, informing them to solve the issue etc.
- Fractal - good company - python full stack role - 23 LPA
- Epsilon (AI Engineer) - 23 LPA but work in a new AI product they're building. 2 months but applied AI engineer work (not interested to go into applied AI engineer atm)
- Comviva - In consideration, NP: 90 days (23 LPA), tech stack: unsure (the only product based company I may get an offer from)
As you can see, the difference b/w Publicis (17) and Wipro Blackstone CoE (37) is huge.
I am leaning towards the offer from Publicis Groupe because of Java as the tech stack. I want to work on microservices/distributed systems and move to a product-based organization, which I am hoping to do in an year of time, if not today. I would be proficient in the Java Spring Boot tech stack, good enough to interview at least.
I am also a polyglot which basically means I don't know one thing really well/deep. So I am currently leaning towards making one stack and sticking to it. I also see a lot of Java/Spring Boot roles for Backend Engineers, so that's also a preference (not that any other stacks are any inferior, but most sophisticated enterprise stacks/distributed systems are built/ being built on Java).
Is my reasoning flawed?
Would anyone else have chosen the better-paying offer? Or should I stick with choosing the right role. And the notion that money will follow.
