Need help in deciding
Flipkart: 38L(32 base + 6 bonus) + 10L stocks yearly Bangalore, 5 days office Better learning opportunity Not sure about company profitability and have heard about late appraisals
Current SAAS Startup: 30L(28 base + 2 bonus) + commitment for esops allotment Fully remote, good work culture 4 years spent, great visibility in-front of leadership Profitable company with good appraisals. Better job security.

If there's no allotment of ESOPs even after 4 years, it's very unlikely to happen

In cash it's just a 8L increase in gross, or 5.6L in net (assuming 30% tax cut). Not really worth the possible pain of commuting in Blr. Unless you see some career shifting potential with FK

What's the company? Want to move to remote

On paper, your current role seems great. Just ensure you get the ESOP allotment and push for it.
Other than that, the choice depends on your preferences. Do you want to move to metro? Do you want to earn more ? Check how much of bonus is usually paid, WFH flexibility, yearly appraisal etc.

So i would have made it to 28L minimum in oct’25 (post appraisal).
They have also mentioned they won’t consider me for appraisal cycle if they give raise now.

4-5L you will easily spend living in bangalore so not a good raise

Name of current saas startup? I am looking for a switch in remote roles.

If not liabilities then wait and search better, doesn't worth the hike imo
