LTIMindtree vs CGI – Which One Would You Choose?
I’m currently at Deloitte with ₹10.5 LPA fixed, working in a Salesforce DevOps profile. I have 6 offers, but these 2 are the best: 1. LTIMindtree • ₹20.5 LPA fixed • ₹1.5L joining bonus + ₹50K relocation bonus • Joining: 4th August • Location: Noida (I can travel from Agra weekly) • Client: HW Kaufmann (US-based) - Anyone knows — is this a US shift role? - Does LTIMindtree allow WFH for US shift roles? - Also, I heard LTIM has mostly short-term projects — how true is this? 2. CGI • ₹17.5 LPA fixed + 5% variable + ₹50K joining bonus • Joining: 11th August • Location: Pune • Client: CIBC Bank (Canada) • Probable onsite to Canada after 1 year — Anyone working at CGI Pune — do they allow WFH? Right now, I get around ₹80K in-hand at Deloitte (WFH). If I join CGI in Pune, expenses would be around ₹40K/month, so net savings will be similar to now. LTIM offers a higher fixed salary, bonuses, and known client; CGI has lower fixed but onsite potential and a reputed Canadian bank client. I’m in Salesforce DevOps, looking for long-term growth, onsite opportunities, and role stability. What would you choose and why? Would really appreciate honest advice
