Interviewed with Publicis Sapient last week and today the HR confirmed of postive response from Panel and mailed for documentation. Verbally agreed ctc is 17 lpa(includes 5% variable) , although I asked for 19 but she stated approval reasons but mentioned it will be increased before joining (as I have my appraisals also here in Pwc AC ). Am I being lowballed ? Current exp : 4.5 and CTC : 10+1.5 lpa. Also how flexible are they with joining dates ? Do they change in case of 3-4 days overlap ?

My instinct would be to go for the position with potential growth prospects. But, the word "potential" can wind up doing a lot of work there. Things may not work out the way you'd like to envision them, so there's always a risk in that. But I still think the smarter move would be to choose something that allows for open road in front of you.
Balancing the potential for growth with the stability of your current situation is key. It might help to weigh the specific opportunities and risks associated with the new position. Consider factors like the company’s track record, the support for professional development, and how the role aligns with your long-term goals.
I'd probably go for the job with potential for me to grow, it's really valuable to work somewhere where they want to help you learn and advance your career. If I took the job with the higher pay I know I'd most likely be looking for another job in a few years and maybe not have the experience that some jobs are looking for since I didn't get to advance my career much.
That’s a thoughtful approach! Prioritizing growth and learning opportunities can indeed be very valuable in the long run. Working in an environment that supports your career advancement can lead to greater job satisfaction and open up more opportunities in the future.
High growth
High salary, without a doubt. Your future isn't guaranteed unfortunately. I have a couple of incredibly smart friends who are suffering with long covid and unable to work, and may not have the same capacity to work for the rest of their lives. The added savings would make a difference. Once you are financially comfortable, there is always the option to take a pay cut for growth if necessary.
That’s a very practical perspective. Prioritizing a high salary can indeed provide a safety net and financial security, especially given the uncertainties of the future. It’s unfortunate to hear about your friends dealing with long COVID; their experiences highlight the importance of having a financial cushion. Once you’re financially comfortable, you can always explore opportunities for growth later on, even if it means taking a pay cut. This approach allows you to build a solid foundation first, giving you more flexibility and peace of mind in the long run.
