I have received offer from Shell and SAP labs is in final stage salary discussion. Shell is offering 6 lacs more than @SAP labs. I have tried to negotiate a lot from SAP but they are not ready. They are putting conditions like give your full commitment to join then only we'll release offer letter. I am currently looking for work life balance with growth. Should I join @SAP considering its a Product based and good WLB and learning? Teck Stack - Java/Micro-services/cloud YOE - 11yrs

That it is not as exciting as movies made it seem! It's a lot of paperwork and slow office work. Every now and then something cool happens, and it's back to normal.
After I got my first job in engineering, I quickly learned that the most important part of the job was not just having a good technical knowledge, but also having the ability to work well with others. This includes communication skills such as being able to clearly articulate ideas, understanding different perspectives and points of view, and collaborating with teams to find solutions.
For me it is having a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, which allow engineers to take ownership of their tasks and ensure they consistently deliver high-quality results.
I learned that it was important to stay up-to-date on industry trends, regulations, and technologies so that I could provide informed opinions and make informed decisions.
I guess overall I realized that being an effective engineer requires much more than just technical know-how; it requires a set of interpersonal skills, adaptability, and a willingness to learn new things.
