Need advice from experienced folks — I’m evaluating offers from Nasdaq (Lead Software Engineer) and Commonwealth Bank (Staff Software Engineer) with ~10 YOE.

If compensation is almost same, or Nasdaq offers slightly more, which one would you choose for long-term growth, engineering culture, WLB, and future opportunities?

Does anyone have any experience working in these companies, pls suggest.

your tech stack ?

work culture in Nasdaq is also not good
no support plus too much micro management, for 10 Years 70 LPA is high as per Nasdaq so they will target you first.
Also tech is not good there is no microservices just plain legacy tech, u'll loose expertise all project are just support.

Nasdac based on feedback from friends working in both organisation

What is the interview process in each of these companies

What type of questions were asked in this inteview?

Nasdaq Bangalore operates essentially as a service-based company working for other exchanges; it should not be confused with Nasdaq US

The work culture has deteriorated significantly. After the Australian management team was sidelined, leadership shifted to a European country, which triggered heavy micromanagement and a toxic environment. There are no salary increments, and the tech stack is largely legacy. Furthermore, upper management seems highly insecure regarding the rise of AI, and as a result, developers are being unfairly targeted and scrutinized.

Anyone else in the “here for a good time not a long time” club? This job gets a lot more tolerable when you don’t actually need it (no intention to make partner, no loans, etc.). I generally do good work, but I’m happy being a B associate, I don’t dwell on small mistakes or what partners think of me, I take my vacations and never overwork myself to “look good”. All this to say, you don’t need to be an A+ associate to stay employed. Try being a B associate, it’s a lot more fun.
