Hello fishes,

Need your help to make a decision.
I'm having 2 offers
HCL (Bangalore) as lead engineer & TCS(Indore) as assistant consultant.
Both are offering me same package.
What should I choose.

Both companies are similar.
The real challenge here would be location.
Living cost in Bangalore would be higher than Indore
Future Opportunities in Bangalore would be much better.
Lifestyle, Night Life - Bangalore > Indore
Now depends on you , what do you prefer
A shiny, lively city like Bangalore or a peaceful but kinda boring one like Indore 😅

One more point I would like to mention here is I'm having total 7+ yrs of experience. Against which I feel HCL should have offer me tech lead atleast.

Does the designation affect your pay scale ?
If not then there’s no point in mulling over it.
Look designation on paper and actually being assigned a work as lead are two different things.
People with 4-6 years are being given lead roles on paper just because of salary band but they’ll be working as IC only.

TCS

@LTI I can totally relate, south people when in majority play groupism even at leadership levels

Indore, cost of living is high in Bangalore vs Indore.
Food wise Indore is better than Bangalore (my personal opinion)
TCS should offer you a good well balanced life
If you travel and meet your family a lot you can do the math in terms of cost of travel.

TCS

They will do the same when they join other companies too

Bangalore...

If your hometown is nearby indore then TCS is great. But otherwise go to HCL.

TCS - Indore is cheaper than Banglore, but then also see which place is near to your house
