I am a recent graduate who joined a big 4 six months ago. I enjoy what I am doing and how much I am learning. I recently received offers from two other companies with better compensation packages. I am currently earning $85K at my current firm and live in a Tier 2 city. The two other companies are offering around $130K and are located in CA. They are both FAANG companies. I have heard of number of layoffs happening in big tech. Should I consider making the jump?

Jump ship. It’ll take you a decent amount of time to build up to that level of earnings if you stick around. Even if either of those opportunities are short-lived, you’ll still be ahead of the game.

Take it.

Ask for a sign on bonus if they don’t already offer one, this can be used as your emergency fund, as laid off employees nearly always keep their sign on bonus

Which FAANGs specifically?

I’m pretty sure they’ve all done at least a round of layoffs at this point? Except Amazon I believe?

I would personally be more comfortable going to apple than Meta right now for example.

I don’t ever regret leaving consulting, and if I were to get laid off, I’m confident I can get a job again pretty easily, even easier if you have FAANG on your resume

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
