Should I make a career switch? Currently have an offer with a 5% increase in salary and a 10k signing bonus. New role aligns perfectly with what I want to do. Don’t like my current role (SAP testing) and I’ve been applying since April

Yes! Pivoting to what you want to do is priceless.

It will be more motivating less draining and allow for better growth in the long term

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂
