Hello Techies,
I’m currently at a career crossroads and would appreciate your insights.
I have 4.2 years of experience in backend development and distributed systems. Recently, I was impacted by a layoff at Gupshup, and now I’m fortunate to have received multiple offers.
My primary goals are:
• Better stability (especially post-layoff)
• Healthy work-life balance (WLB)
• Strong tech growth and long-term career prospects
All roles are offering similar compensation (±3–4 LPA), so I’m focusing on team culture, tech stack, career trajectory, and work-life balance.
Here are the offers I’ve received (all for similar CTCs):
1. Ivanti – Senior Software Engineer
2. Macquarie – Senior Software Engineer
3. Airtel – Senior Software Engineer
4. Park+ – SDE II
5. Thoughtworks – Senior Java Consultant
6. Publicis Sapient – Associate L1 Engineer
7. Tyroo – Tech Lead
8. Exotel – Member of Technical Staff II (MTS II)
Would love to hear your thoughts on:
• Which companies are known for strong tech culture and growth?
• Which ones have better stability and work-life balance?
• Any red/green flags to be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions 🙏
