Hi Fishes,

I am working as SAP CX Developer with 4.8 YOE. I am so confused on choosing the best company. Need your advice. Please guide me among these two which organization is better to join Shell India Markets Ltd or SAP India pvt Ltd.
Shell SBC India - 21.6 CTC ( 18.6 Fixed + 3 Perfomance Pay/Var)
SAP India - 18 CTC ( 16.2 Fixed + OTB(Var) 1.8 ) + 3L JB .

I heard SAP will pay 100% or even more OTB/var but Shell Var is based on performance pay and Company Profits.

What’s up my consulting fishes!! Manager at Accenture, and really enjoy the HC, Org Analytics, CM, Org Design side of things.

I’d like to continue building my skillset here and venture into product development to facilitate strat consulting for the areas above (sorry for the buzzwords).

In this case, is an MBA required to succeed or progress to the MD, partner, C Suite level? Or should I grind my way through the industry given my interests are so pointed?

Would love a convo and/or guidance.
