Harness or AI startup? Which one should I chose?

Hey, I'm a developer with around 5 years of experience. I’ve got two job offers on the table right now: 1. An AI startup (Singapore-based, remote) offering 40 LPA. 2. Harness (Bengaluru-based) offering 35 LPA CTC, with a 32 LPA base. I’m torn between the two and not sure which one to pick.

Hermès: The Art of Luxury and Exclusivity

- Hermès, a luxury brand with nearly 200 years of history, is known for its exclusivity and desirability. - Its handbags, particularly the Birkin and Kelly bags, are highly coveted and can fetch up to $100,000 on the resale market. - Despite a global luxury slowdown, Hermès continues to see impressive sales and growth, largely due to its strategy of scarcity. - The brand has a rich history, starting with high-quality harnesses and saddles for European royalty, and later moving into luxury goods. - Hermès faces challenges such as counterfeits, sustainability concerns, and a class action lawsuit accusing the company of forcing customers to spend thousands before being able to buy a Birkin.
