Never ever jump to a contractual role if you have permanent positions available with you. Contractual agreements offer a lot of pay but comes with it own risks. Weigh the pros and cons appropriately and then take the decision I would say

Nope.

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.
