Received a pretty nice job offer (40% bump) but I really don’t feel qualified for the position. I’ve clearly stated my experience and the new company is still extremely interested in me. The WLB would be way better than my current job, but I feel like the folks I’ve interviewed with are insanely intelligent and I worry that I won’t live up to their expectations. Do I go for it?

Yes!!! They offered it to you for a reason!

You’ve already done what you needed to, and if you didn’t lie or exaggerate yourself, then they know what they’re getting into.

Don’t forget, part of the job is training. They know they need to train you, so don’t stress when you show up and the first two weeks or two months you feel like you haven’t added a ton of value. Probably takes like 90 days (at minimum, sometimes 6 months) to feel like you’re really hitting your stride.

Personal decision. If you can't do it, it will be a setback. If you can do it with just putting in more time and effort and you want to, do it.

As someone who hires, I see a lot of desperation out there. That's why you're seeing people overpaying. I also see people can't do as good of a job interviewing and vetting virtually. You need to trust your gut on if you can do it. Talk to people you know and tell them the situation and have them help you with setting your gut appropriately.

Own whatever decision you make.

If you got the offer then others think you are qualified. Take the job.

The fact it pays more and gives better WLB implies the caliber of people there are probably higher than what you're used to. Just move there and take the opportunity to grow!

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.
