Need your advice!

10 years in Full Stack Development, including 6 years at Bajaj Finance. I've received an offer from EPAM Systems for an AI Engineer role with ₹44 LPA CTC.

Would you make this move for AI/GenAI career growth? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Epam has one very bad thing...they have very short projects and everytime you need to give client round.. expect in every 3 to 6 months...and their client round is biased and tough...you get 3 chances for client round which are from different parties...if you failed to do that...HR will pressurise you and give threats for PIP. One of my friend left the epam bcoz of this issue....so forgot about mental peace and work life balance..you need to be on your toes everytime...that 44 lpa look fency but if I am on your place epam is my last option...

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.
