Need Urgent Career Advice: Offers to consider
Hi All,
Need Urgent Advice: Please help me choose a better option and auggest me which one to join.
- ADOBE (Through third-party payroll) - 15.5 LPA - Contract To Hire Role
- Tech Mahindra - 15.5 LPA
- EXL Services - Similar to Tech Mahindra offer HCL Tech - Offer is in pipeline (but will be similar to Tech Mahindra offer)
YOE - 4.5
CCTC - 6.5 LPA
Is it safe to join Adobe through third-party or should I go with other option. I have 2-3 weeks notice period left at my current organisation.
Currently my first preference is WLB > compensation.

EXL is fine. Let me give you an advise
Choose two decent companies in the list which yiu are equally likely to join.
Even if offer is matching, ask the other to one up.
If you get that’s great .. if you dnt walk away to the other .
Don’t think that all offers are equal so no one will budge. I am assuming you haven’t done this already
Thanks for the advice! It really helped. And Yes even though above offers are in same range but initially there was a huge gap in their offer compensation. For that I did provided them counter offer. So I did tried my best to negotiate with them. But this their final offer (As per ambitionbox salaries - some are paying even more for same role in same org). I guess it also depends on your CCTC too.

I am happy that you did. In that case exl is equally good and equally bad vs the others . I will keep hcl the lowest though if pushed.

Congratulations on all these offers, don't prefer tech M and 3rd party vendors and then try to take counter based on ur likes in remaining offers
Thanks for the reply! It would really helpful if u can you give more insight on Tech M? The role they are offering is for Data Engineer Analyst and I need to work from client location occasionally.
Don't accept contract offer and of Tech Mahindra. Join HCL or EXL. Do study on these two and make your final decision
Thanks for the reply! It would really help if u can you give more insight on Tech M? The role they are offering is for Data Engineer Analyst and I need to work from client location occasionally.
Don't know about the Data engineer field in TechM, but as far I know most of the projects are of Telecom. Also they have less projects available compared to TCS and Infosys.
Based on your preference for WLB
EXL > HCL > TM > Adobe(because its a third party role)
Thanks for the reply! If possible can u share your insights on TechM? Out of all offer Tech M is paying the highest. Also it's office its much closer to my home. For remaining orgs I need to do some commute. All are offering same role as Data Analyst Engineer
You do realize if you accept the ADOBE offer you are basically joining them as a vendor. So you basically leaving a service company to join another and that is always risky(not even considering the current market). Tech Mahindra & HCL -- we both(as service based employee) know their truth. EXL is unknown to me can't comment.
Thanks for the advice! It really helped. Yeah been working in Service based company for like ~5 years now. But only few companies are left which are employee centric. For now due to some medical issue my first preference is either remote or work in hybrid model (once or twice a week). In my current project WLB is decent if not good. Shall I keep giving interviews or join any above one providing higher compensation since all companies are almost same?
Should be easy, choose Adobe
Take exl
