Hi Fishes, I need your help to make a decision.

I am being offered 17lpa fixed + 1.7lpa variable by Mckinsey Bangalore and 14.5lpa fixed + 1.5lpa Joining bonus by Deutsche Telekom WFH.

Both are offering me a SDE 1 position.

I want to know the better company keeping in mind WLB, Perks and Benefits, Culture, also with the thought that in the future I want to pursue an MBA in the future.
I will be relocating to Bangalore so I also want to know the cost of loving in Bangalore.
Thanks

With 17lpa, I’m sure it can be managed to live in Bangalore. But the worst part in Bangalore is traffic. Commuting will be pain unless you take accom next to your workplace.
Also, working in bank is a little less exhausting than working in a consulting firm I’d say, from WLB perspective.
