Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments

In terms of reputation, the new firm is probably a slight step down. Salary wise it’s a substantial jump (30+% in a non-hcol city) but not more than what a tech firm would pay. My current practice has many people who have moved into fang + equivalent companies. I also have referrals for most places id apply, I just haven’t finished my interview prep

Domain wise it’d be in an area id like to continue working on in the future. However, it’s a common domain that many places are investing in currently

It might show in my post but I’m leaning towards no and holding out for a tech offer. However it’s an increase that at least merits consideration. Was just hoping to get more opinions

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
