Which offer to choose for Senior Data scientist? Product/Stability

Hi everyone,

I’m in a bit of a dilemma choosing between multiple offers and would really appreciate your guidance.

Experience: ~4.10 years Current Org: Big4 Current Location: Kolkata Current Fixed: 29 LPA Current CTC: 33 LPA

⸻

📊 Offers • Syneos Health • Role: Data Scientist • Fixed: 38.7 LPA • Total CTC: 40 LPA • Location: Hyderabad • Type: Product-based • Freshworks • Role: Senior Data Scientist • Fixed: 42 LPA + 5% Bonus • Total CTC: ~44 LPA • Location: Bangalore • Type: Product-based SaaS • EY GDS • Role: Senior Data Scientist • Fixed: 40 LPA • Total CTC: ~44 LPA (including bonus) • Location: Kolkata (Hometown) • Type: Consulting (High Stability)

⸻

🤔 My Confusion • Freshworks → Strong product SaaS exposure, scale, and cutting-edge AI/GenAI work • Syneos Health → Balanced option, but unsure about depth of tech exposure • EY GDS → Same compensation in hometown + strong job stability

⸻

❓ Questions • For a 2–3 year horizon, which would you choose? • Is it worth leaving hometown for product/SaaS exposure? • How important is early product experience in AI/DS careers?

⸻

Would really appreciate honest suggestions 🙏
