Opinion needed
I have two offers as a fresher: Startup - 9.6L Fixed Mid-Sized(Not famous) - 10L Fixed
Both have similar compensation annually.
Which one should I choose? I have experience in Startup and they do really good.

Which offer to select?
Hi everyone, I'm at an exciting yet slightly tricky point in my career and would really appreciate some thoughts or advice from those who’ve been in similar situations.
I currently have two offers on hand:
- KPIT – Offering 28 LPA(Fixed), from a well-established and stable organization.
- A product-based startup – Offering 34 LPA (fixed) with strong benefits, a promising product, and a dynamic work culture. For context, my current compensation is 20 LPA fixed + 1.5 LPA variable.
While the startup offer is financially more attractive and seems full of learning opportunities, KPIT brings in brand value and long-term stability.
Would love to hear from anyone who’s navigated similar decisions — What factors should I prioritize beyond just the numbers? What would you consider in my place?
Thanks in advance for your insights!

In my opinion present market ,No company providing job security. Most of the KPIT employees are working in a client company location(Work pressure). Better to choose a higher package it will help further job change as well and also check the project and work expectations.

Be careful in both. KPIT will come under severe pressures as other services companies do. Like someone has said above, client pressures will be there.
On the startup, check funding and how close they are to next round. Check how stable they are.
All in all, check where your skills will grow. Work culture is what you make it😊
Best of luck!

Go with the startup if it has a stable funding support and you like the location.
If you are leaning for KPIT then why not use the startup offer and counter KPIT?
Also whats your YoE?

I have 10 years of experience. And KPIT is not ready to increase single penny as they do not have budget itseems. I discussed about funding part they looks very good with funding and income as well. As of now I am planning to join startup and your reply was helpful ☺️
