I have 3 wildly varying offers/options -

1. PGP from
Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow - I have to decide in the next 5 days
(Pros - IIM brand, Network, Probable jump in career)
2. AI engineer role at MetLife - at a package equalling the average of that of IIML's
(Pros - Good place, Work on the latest technology with the leadership)
3. Continue as software engineer at Citi where 50% work is AI related - manager is trying to match offer.
(Pros - Have built my brand here)

Suggestions plz.

If you see yourself being in the core AI tech/engineering roles in the future - 3 is the option.

If you see yourself moving to lead product roles/management roles in the future - 1 is the option.

You shouldn't be pursuing an MBA unless you specifically know what you want out of it. If money is the only motivator, I don't see a reason why you shouldn't be doing what you're already doing.

As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?
