I have an offer in hand from Thoughtworks.
I have stopped looking for new opportunities considering the wlb and decent pay.

Got few opportunities from product based organisations like striim, Amazon, Gartner.

Cctc 15.5 lpa
Offer in hand 23 lpa + 1.5 benefits
7 yrs exp, Automation Engg

Note:
I'm looking for a good wlb, that's why I didn't attend product based companies.

I had an experience of working in a Product based company with 12-14 hrs of work.

Is it a good decision. Suggestions pls..
