If you had the financial means to not worry about any bills currently, what would you do?
Stay at current role at TC $150k, no equity - or quit, prep and interview for FAANG?

Assuming you have to choose and don't have time to interview prep & work full time, for personal (baby & health) reasons. Non-negotiable. Must pick one.

You like current company, team & manager.
Your bills are paid off, solid savings, SO makes enough.

If it doesn't work out, I'm happy to be a SAHM for a year or two till I find my next gig. But I'm also quite happy at this current role, like my manager, like my work and like that I'm established.
With enough prep though, I have a strong feeling I'd get hired at FAANG. Went to final round at Google years ago for PM role with no prep and no official PM title experience. Also currently have extensive PM experience doing everything end to end because we are a solid startup on the verge of IPO in a few years.

😣too many good options, but feeling hella underpaid for the vast amount of scope I manage.

Stay, especially if you are currently pregnant or undergoing fertility treatments. The cost for medical is too much to interrupt a good gig until you have the baby and take your (hopefully good) maternity leave benefits.

Why do you want to work at FAANG? Just because they’re hyped as the end-all be all? Or because you know specifically that one of those firms is a good fit for you because of your skill set, your future team’s culture, etc.? I would not quit everything to try to get hired by one of them just because everyone else wants to.

I would also use the “great resignation” as a way to reduce your workload or increase your compensation. Even without an offer on the table, if you’re valuable, they may well be willing to at least reduce your workload to keep you from leaving.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!
