Work culture is really cool !

Learning - previously I have worked on C++11. Now, it's my 2nd year I am working on C++ 14/17 and now Rust (functional language just like Scala/clojure), Devops & AWS.
Usually, c++ people don't get the opportunity to work on DevOps/cloud. But i got :P

what perks /benefits Here has ?

I had a couple of friends working in ZS and both of them had their wlb pretty messed up.
But on the other hand the hikes that they got was great.
Like they joined for around 6 LPA as fresher and after around 6 years their CTC was near about 30 LPA in the same company.

ZS is not a very good company for software developers. Atleast 5 years behind in technology compared to other firms.

I’m not really sure about Here tech but since I had worked for several years with ZS i shared my observation. Also the WLB is not that bad in ZS for software developers(SD Group), but no onshore opportunity as well.

Never join ZS. One of my frnds joined there and her wlb went to hell. I saw here working till 1am in night.
Tech stack is same bigdata

Shouldn’t a tech lead earn atleast 60+ LPA fixed 🥲

Why don't you start a new firm where all tech leads earn 60+?

If WLB is important then here. But if hikes.. promotions.. projects important then zs

The point is you should decide what is important to you and choose accordingly.

HERE has good WLB but the company didn’t perform well in recent times. Also no increment this year.

Seeing your offer it’s really good as I see Lead Software eng at around 35L ~

the zs hr says wlb is bad for consuting department but for zaidyn @Zaidyn its not that bad

funny

Ex ZSer here, the money might be good but WLB is hell, you will regret joining ZS and will be looking to switch in no time.

YoE and tech stack ?

YOE?

9.2 years lead software engineer

for @Here Technologies tech stack is i guess java, scala etc and position is same Lead Software Engineer position. i need to decide between these two pls help me.

Here is a well known in the mapping industry!
--> Variables are always prorated bases in every company the date you join.
--> ZS good in analytical world, however, they are services providers in the End of the day.
--> Here has great problem statements towards EV, ADAS, Cutting edge stacks, etc.

You can decide accordingly!

how is your learning experience in Here Technologies ? How is the work culture. coming from thoughtworks (the work culture is just awesome) i am thinking to join if i get good amount of learning to grow further..

Wlb is one of the best in HERE.. try negotiating with HERE

Don’t know bro..

Here is better than ZS

Don't join ZS Bro. As others mentioned WLB is really bad. You will regret later. Specially for lead level. Peace of mind is important.

Ooh hello sirji.. Itna bhi kuch khas kharab nehi hai.. Particularly in SD

funny

Try to avoid ZS in current market condition

problem is i am almost nearing to my release date. i should have asked them 1 week time but could not able to get another offer.

Is Here offering you Permanent WFH? If not you will need to consider the factor of moving to Banglore and in turn need to renegotiate.

It's always better to go for a known one in the current market scenario

Yup👍
