I have accepted Infosys Offer Letter . If I am not joining Infy and joins another company, then is there anything like Infosys remembers it and will not consider in its Future Opportunities saying "You previously Didnt join our Organisation after accepting Offer Letter , So we are not considering your profile ahead " (Something like blacklist).
Has anybody accepted Infy Offer Letter and Have not joined ...and later got another Offer from Infy after say 6 months or 1 year and then Joined Infy ?

I’ve always been someone who prefers a higher base salary. I just can’t get behind equity and the uncertainty that comes with it. I wish I were braver, but I value the stability of a higher base.

Stability and predictability matter a lot, especially depending on life stage and responsibilities. In your experience, have you ever seen a situation where equity later made you reconsider that preference, or has base always proven to be the better choice for you?
That largely depends on the company offering the equity. Having equity in a company can pay off enormously, but that's only if it's a solid company and its stock is going to become more valuable. Some offers of equity can amount to a lot of nothing. If you've got doubts about the company offering the equity, or you're just interested in stability, take the higher base salary and remove all the worries.

This is a really helpful perspective, thank you for sharing it.
I like how you frame equity less as a gamble and more as a long-term pattern recognition exercise. Looking at sustained CAGR over 5–10 years, rather than short-term spikes, makes the risk feel more measurable and grounded. The point about RSU size relative to base is also key. Equity only really changes the equation when it’s meaningful in proportion, not just a nice-to-have.
For someone earlier in their equity journey, this reinforces that the decision isn’t simply “cash vs stock,” but “certainty today vs confidence in the company’s long-term fundamentals.” Out of curiosity, have you ever turned down a strong base offer because the equity signals didn’t add up, even when the company brand was solid?
