I have 4 YOE (MERN stack) and joined Infosys 4 months ago.
Current CTC at Infosys:
• 13 LPA fixed
• 1.45 LPA variable
I’ve now received an offer from a mid-tier product-based company:
• 16 LPA fixed
• 1.12 LPA variable
• 50k ESOPs (3 year)
While the hike isn’t huge, the new company offers better work culture, benefits, and aligns with my long-term goal of working in product or finance-based firms. However, i have to stay at least 1 year before switching again, and they’re offering a lower hike because I switched recently (making my annual switch rate 50%).
Good culture & benefits, aligns with long-term goals (product/finance).
But hike is low due to recent switch, and I can’t switch again for a year.
Should I take the offer or stay for better pay later?
