Just a short story - I've recently crossed 10 yoe. My btech mate and I joined TCS at the same time.. He always had this so-called FAANG dream while I never really thought of it much as I'm kind of "susegad" guy..We were not in touch for many years, but recently got in touch again.. He recently received an offer from Apple, I was happy when I received this ping from him. The total CTC Apple offered is 65 lpa. This is gonna be his 3rd company.. I too received an offer from a healthcare giant for a CTC of 60 lpa.. He has sacrificed his personal life so much learning DSA, and stuff from scratch!! I hardly studied DSA and have lil idea (not an expert) and never sacrificed myself so much for it.. It is gonna be my 7th company.. I worked at multiple fortune Global500, garned wide experience and exposure into multiple industries!! Maybe, hopefully, 3-4 yrs down the line, I can make my way to a Director position in a good place :)

So, he felt for a moment, is it all worth it as there is hardly any difference? 🙃

Not demotivating you, you might end up in a better condition, never know!!

More exposure to AI. And, better techstack. Athenahealth has a laid-back culture, which is not good at this age ..

It’s ultimately personal preference. having joined OpenText recently and working at other product based companies I would say don’t join OpenText. I see a lot of micro management and insecure managers. They talk a lot about AI but I don’t see a whole lot of traction. Most of the work is done and driven from outside India and what is left over is sent to India. Working from office and their rigid work timings is a pain and this is specially in Hyderabad office. In this age No Job is safe. Even in OpenText there were layoffs recently, it was mostly outside of India but a couple of bad quarters and things will change for India as well.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. Thanks again - I also heard some news about layoffs recently happening in OpenText and no job security.

Brother, go for company which give more package and good work place. But if your fresher don't leave this opportunity. Because I am fresher, I don't even get one job. How did you get two job offers at a time 😅😂? Can you guide me to get a job as you? What should I do for getting job?
