Hi all, currently I'm on bench in PS joined few weeks ago.

I have an offer from fully remote profitable startup which may have 12 hours or weekends too with pros that it's all remote but same CTC. Although work hours can be gruelling (11 am - 11 pm) the promotions are fast.

At PS, I heard WLB can be mix bag depending on the project. Also the 3 day office policy, can eat up my 3 hours of commute time on average each day.

What should be best course of action?

If salary is same then doesn't seem like a good option to join startup

Right I also value WLB a lot. This startup has found its product market fit and generates lots of revenue.

Other option is I stay on bench in PS as long as possible and prepare for a better opportunity. This seems to be the right course of action but remote opportunities are rare

I have joining in coming December, so is it a good choice to join PS? And do we get projects allocated after joining if yes then how many days it might take?

I'm taking back my previous statement. Not a good idea, here struggles are different than what programmers should be working on 😂
All the process are extremely tedious, and internal timesheet management is fully buggy ridden. You have to do international client calls on your expense.
Codebase are mess
