It has become like high paying service based company. Only AWS is good in it. Too much micro-management and work pressure.

If your early in your career, it makes absolute sense. For three reasons
1.You need to have good network which can help you in your bad times which you get at big MNCs. Trust me I have seen people switching to other companies with the referral of the senior leaders or managers who have strong connects outside 2. The scale at which you can operate also will be big, which means impact of your work. Getting such exposure is rewarding at the early of your career 3. Whether you believe or not, brand names matter. They act as pull factor on your resume. Especially Indian job market is not open to skill based market that’s there in abroad

One downside:

  1. In big mncs you won’t get great tech stack or steep learning curve that you get in startups and even large scale projects won’t be having your ownership till you win the trust of the leaders.

There's never a generic template. It always "depends"

Eh, so and so. Maybe for brand value. These days it's very subjective, most teams don't really do as much.

I don't agree. I have given up roles in Microsoft, Google and meta to lead business impacting products at smaller companies where ownership and span of control is much much higher.

Not fair

I recently switched my job, and my new employers were asking if I could refer someone and I reached out to my junior (fresher, 1 YOE now) at my previous employer and got his resume and he was asking about how much compensation to expect....
