I’m currently evaluating two offers and would appreciate some guidance from the community.
Experience: 6.5 years
Offers:
Dell Technologies
Fixed: ₹31.5 LPA
Employer PF: ₹1.89 LPA
Bonus: ₹2.52 LPA (yearly)

Barclays (BA4 role)
Fixed (including employer PF and gratuity): ₹27.7 LPA
Bonus: 8–22% (performance-based)

I’m slightly inclined toward compensation at Dell, but I have some concerns about the tech stack and long-term growth in that role.

Which one I should go for?

I will suggest you to go with Dell. I have worked at Barclays for over 10 years in leadership role. Here are reasons to back my suggestion-

1. BA4 is the lowest in Barclays Tech hierarchy. Barclays eliminated BA3 role in Tech from 2024. It’s only in BPO now. So, in Barclays Tech, you won’t be able to justify your experience. Both you and college graduate would be at same level ie BA4.

2. Barclays is a major UK bank. If you know, banks are the last industry to implement any new tech stack due to compliance and security concerns. Dell can give you an edge over Barclays in learning new tech.

3. Most of Barclays projects are in maintenance phase. Very less development work. So, think about it.

4. You would already be on the higher side of the salary range for BA4. Expect no hikes for next few years. Also, you might need to wait for 5-6 years to get promoted.

Can I negotiate the role designation with them 10–15 days before my joining date and request an AVP position? I currently have 6.7 years of experience, and within 4–5 months after joining I will complete 7+ years. Barclays generally offers the AVP designation for candidates with 7+ years of experience.

You can try countering barclays with dell offer.

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
