Hi,
Does Nagarro provides internet reimbursement?
Has anyone taken STD/parental leave at both Js?
Hello fishes, I have offers from two different companies and both are offering same amount of CTC - 18LPA (YOE: 3.2) . Company names are Pristyn Care and Xiaomi technology india pvt. ltd .
Now for Pristyn Care I won't have to move out of Gurgaon (I'm from north India). Xiaomi is calling me to Bangalore. Rest all the benefits seem similar.
In terms of learning and job security and all the aspects considered, which company should I join?
Please help me decide. Thank you!

10% is fine generally speaking for a couple years out of school, but you’ll probably need to boost that to hit your goal by 50. The recommended order is usually contribute to your 401k up to employer match -> max HSA (if available to you) -> max IRA -> max 401k -> contribute to taxable brokerage. Obviously some leeway there depending on your goals like buying a house or having kids, but that’s a general template
If you’re on your parents insurance you may not be eligible if it’s not an high deductible plan.
You get a pension at kpmg if you stay long enough so factor that in

It really depends on how much you make now, how much you think you might make over the course of your career, and how much you want to retire on.
I didn't make $100k until I was 30, so saving 10% did not put me in a good place (I was only making $40k or less for 5 years). I want to retire on $80k so I'm playing major catch up now. Heck I had to play major catch-up just to be on track for regular retirement. But now I'm there. Point just being that saving % should be based on your personal situation. But no matter what, 10% is a really good starting point.
You can't FIRE at age 50 on long term 10% savings rate unless you get an inheritance, have crazy low expenses, or make insane comp.
Starting at 10% is ok, but every raise throw more at it. I was probably 10%ish until I was 28.
401k up to company match, then Roth IRA, then if you have wiggle room back to 401k.
