Hi Leetcode squad. I have been offered the following :

Current offers :

  total compensation: 60 - 62 LPA (INR)

Future aspirations and what I am looking for in my next job:
I have currently been working in a startup environment, WLB has been poor so far. So I am looking for a company with :

1. decent WLB
2. good compensation
3. career-growth
4. internal transfer (if possible) to other centers / locations
5. good brand name

(lol, aren't we all looking for this :D)

Both companies are good in above criteria, but I am not sure about these and would love the community's view on these :

1. comparison of the salary and expenses in Mumbai (India) vs Bangkok (Thailand)
2. possibility of internal transfer to other geographical location. Adyen is present in - India, Singapore, and Amsterdam (my team) whereas Agoda is present in India, Amsterdam, London, Canada, to name a few locations. Not sure whether people were eventually able to take an internal transfer. I have an affinity to relocate to Europe (US is out of questions due to visa limitations) or / and try a FAANG / FAANGMULA company eventually (around 1.5 years time) with similar job role / position.

I would love to hear your views / thoughts :)

PS :

1. LPA = Lakhs per Annum / year (Indian rupees)
2. INR = Indian rupees
3. BHT = Thai Bhat
