Not really sure if this is the right bowl. But I need opinions to reach a decision. I currently work at Siemens as a senior ML Engineer , on probation basically. Joined in February 2025.

I had a 2 year break in career due to various reasons and hence, I am still at senior ML Engineer role. Recently,I got an offer at IBM, architect role.
I
am seriously considering it as it's a significant pay bump, on top of actually having a good progression in my career.
What should I do?

22 lpa for 8 yoe is way beyond market average for your profile. Make a switch if you are getting good pay bump.

Whats your yoe, and skills, cctc, nctc.

Leaving all this a side, as you already know that architect is a right role for you .. go a head with it

ML engineer with experience in NLP, time series and Object detection projects. 8 years in the field. Ctc is entirely fixed at 22.

I am leaning towards the possibility of taking the new role. Jus thinking about switching from a prod company to a company which is both prod and service. The project details aren't clear as it's a company wide hiring.
