Current: ₹32L → maybe ₹35L after appraisal (Gen AI governance proces changed 3 times, feels shaky and not stable ).
New offer: ₹38L Payments Product role Pune Barclays - handle product strategy, risks, teams.
What’s daily work like? Work-life balance with UK calls/shifts? Team friendly or too many bosses?
Stay safe or jump for +₹3L + better career? Job instability killing me.
Anyone switched risk → payments product? Bonus/hike reality? Delhi to Pune worth it?

When you move, you also need to factor in the cost of living. Staying in areas like Kharadi, where most banks are located, can be more expensive compared to other localities. However, a new experience often brings opportunities and intangible benefits. The key is to calculate carefully—don’t stretch yourself so much that you regret it later. Exposure to a new environment can be a real plus. So, don’t look at it purely from a financial angle; consider the bigger picture, including money, family, and overall growth.

If you create a clear mental (or written) model listing the pros and cons in detail, and then ask yourself what you truly want. That approach usually leads to better, more balanced decisions—looking not just at money, but also family, lifestyle, and overall growth.

What's your YOE?

Yes, this switch isn’t primarily about money — it’s more about peace of mind. I really need a stable working environment, unlike my current one, and another major factor is the poor air quality. My only doubt is whether Barclays is the right place for me, or if the specific role I’m being considered for is a genuinely good fit, both in terms of the position and the company’s overall environment.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
