Hi I have these 2 offers, & I am confused which one to choose, would be helpful if leetcode community can help.
YOE: 1 year 8 months
TC: 22 LPA
Slice (SDE-1)
Base: 30 LPA
JB: 3 LPA
Esops: 8 LPA vesting over 4 years
TC: 35 LPA (first year), 32 LPA (after first year)
Jupiter (SDE 2)
Base: 34 LPA
Variable Bonus: 3 LPA
Esops: 8 LPA vesting over 4 years
TC: 36 LPA (did not include variable)
Jupiter uses Kotlin as the main backend tech stack, where as Slice has Node/Java going on in the team where I am going to join.
Since Slice is offering that much for SDE-1 position, I personally think they can go higher if I get promoted to SDE-2 after joining. And also heard many good things about Slice as well.
Currently this is my priority: Learning > WLB
EDIT: I have applied to slice for SDE-2 role, but they have downleveled to SDE-1 role with feedback stating, grooming is required before promoting to SDE-2 role.
