Hi Fishes,

I have graduated from IIT and in my 3 years of professional career I did not work for any MNC. I have worked for 2 startups among which 1 is Unicorn.

Now I have 1 offer from Visa and another from a startup which gives me an option to work remote.

Although I would like to stay with my parents but I am worried about missing a big brand on my CV. My friends say IIT is already a brand and I don’t need another brand but how good a MNC brand helps in one’s career?

Dont work from home, its a trap.. I have been doing it...its convinient and all ...but sometimes its very frustrating..its good to go to office for some social interaction...
Especially if you are young..don't get into work from home..!

P.S I am working from home since almost 3 years..

Absolutely agree to this point. Social interaction is of utmost importance.

Your friends is right IIT is brand , if you think there is much learning left stick with mid tier stardups,NC won't give you much learning , bht yes brand value is there for MNC too , but that is much relevant for tier 2,tier 3 pass out colleges.

A unicorn starup tag is not bad too. Work where you feel comfy and have importance. Growth, alsonif you target for onsite then can go with MNCs

Hi, you need to weigh the pros and cons thoroughly. Where do you stay currently ? What's your current salary and the offer numbers? Is it in same location or different location? Need more details to clearly answer and help you.

Go for Visa then, leaving the comfort zone earlier in life is better.

Yeah thats true bro. Go MNC than nothing bad in that also bro. 😊

Where will you get better fulfillment of your intellectual curiosity?

I would suggest to choose that considering your offers are similar.

Yes brand matters. Your job satisfaction matters too. You are just looking at a trading opportunity of one for another.

So the role with Visa is a Strategy role and definitely a front desk job with 10-20% data science. So that would be something out of my comfort zone given that till date I was just building models and never been part of designing strategies but I am sure that I would learn more and evolve.The problem is I am not sure if I will like a consulting , strategy role.
