I got an offer from a company in London(I'm currently in India). They are offering 75k GBP, visa sponsorship, esops, 6 months probation. YOE - 3, Age 24, single, Cloud engineer. Are 75k enough to have a comfortable lifestyle in London? Is probation common?

75K for a 24 yo with 3 YOE is beautiful.

However, as a fellow MBB employee and an Indian in London, here are a couple things you should consider:

Even if you earn 15 lakhs in India, 75K in the U.K. won’t match the same lifestyle standards for you.

You won’t have it all:
Great house in a great neighbourhood + domestic help + private transport + savings + easy access to home + a lifestyle that is significantly above the cost of living

I earn around the same in the U.K. (80K) and while I don’t struggle, my siblings in India have a much better life at 15lakhs.

Another thing to note in tech: your salary increase and promotions won’t be the same as what you make at McK.

Hope it helps. Please feel free to DM if you would like to know more. Good luck!

75k is not bad for London, especially your age. 6 months probation is pretty standard

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

I, a childless woman who does not plan to have kids, am jealous of the parental leave parents get to take from work from choosing to have a child (a big life event). I 100% understand that they are working in a different way by taking care of the baby and being deliriously worn out in the process, but it makes me sort of jealous that unless I have a kid there is no life event that I can take ~3 months away from work to focus on and enjoy, plus have my hours prorated and a job to come back to.
