I'm currently working at SAP India with a fixed CTC of 29.18. I've cleared Cisco's interview rounds and I'm getting an offer of 37 L (Fixed).

My work life balance here at SAP is quite good. I'm wondering if I should make the switch or not considering all the negativity around layoffs.

and yes, major problem with Cisco is “Layoffs”. It is very unpredictable, when Layoffs will start.

Hello,

Cisco holds layoffs annually.

Your job security depends on how your BU is performing in annual revenue/funding as well as on your performance.

Consider these points as well.

If everything is good at SAP then, I would suggest that stick to your current job.

Thanks

Don’t join Cisco. WLB is there in Cisco as well, but if you talk about the growth … you won’t get in Cisco as compared to SAP Labs.

I wouldn’t recommend you to join Cisco from SAP Labs.

Which BU have you interviewed for Cisco?
WLB is not good in many BUs in Cisco

The BU is Corporate Functions under Cisco IT

What YOE?

8.5

Update: Got a response that the BU is Cisco IT and it's under Corporate Functions.

Yes, it is G10.

It's not at all easy going below G10 also! I'm G8 and facing mental and physical health issues just bcoz of work

WLB depends on project and org here, Also Cisco layoff every 6 months is concerning.
