I agree ^ especially since depending on where you live, the signing bonus may be taxed high that the extra week is worth more at Splunk

I would say it depends on your career goals or what you’re looking to do next

How much more vacation? If it’s an added week, it’s worth going with Splunk

To me, no. I left a Fortune 500 company to go to a smaller company. Making 30k/year more and have more opportunities to grow. Larger company doesn’t necessarily mean better culture/better opportunities anymore

like

If you’re only looking at money over culture or the type of work you’ll do then follow the signing bonus

Which did you select?

Is there a disparity between the SWE TC AND NETWORK ENGINEER TC? I see that SWEs with 2YOE in Google get TC ~45L INR.
However, It was told that 30L INR would be the highest possible value for a network engineer role with 2YOE. Is that a low-ball or is that how the market scenario is?

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
