Hi everyone,

I am an Infosys employee earning 4.5 LPA and serving my notice period. I received an offer from a product company in Mumbai with a salary of 13 LPA.

Infosys countered with a 30% hike and an onsite opportunity in Mexico, aligning with my desire for international exposure.

I’d appreciate advice on:

Is onsite experience worth choosing over a higher salary?

How could this impact my career long-term?

When should I retract my resignation if I decide to stay?

Thanks for your insight

Onsite at Mexico is not good due to safety issues. Ask for Australia or Canada instead.

Safety is Mexico is not bad. I have been there for 5 years and hardly saw any issues. Yes there are some incidents but that happens in other countries as well.

After you drop paper in Infosys on site is an lolipop and to reach 13 lpa in Infosys it will take more than 5yrs plus you should be extraordinary to get that

Nowadays Infosys is focussing more on nearshore instead of onshore, so that is why most of the employees who have been asked for US or Canada onsite are being redirected to Mexico.

Onsite Mexico.... don't miss onsite. Very hard to get nowadays ...lifelong memories

You should take Mexico onsite without thinking. You will get opportunities to shift to other companies there as well. Also your savings would be more than what you would save from 13 lacs switch.

Better stay in india than going to weird countries like middle east, africa or Mexico.
