Hi everyone,
I recently received offers from a few companies and would appreciate your views on choosing between Emergent Labs, Super Money, and Atlassian.
Current Situation:
Company: JioHotstar
YOE: 6
Pay: ₹40L (₹36L fixed + ₹4L variable)
The Offers:
- Emergent Labs
Profile: An AI builder, similar to Bolt, Lovable, and Replit. They have recently gained significant traction and are well-funded. The team consists of 15-20 engineers, including the founders, working from Bangalore and SF. This role offers great exposure to the AI world and numerous learning opportunities.
Cons: Might require a 6-day workweek, including some Sundays. There is also a potential risk to job security.
Role: SDE 3
Fixed Pay: ₹53L
Esops: Worth ₹5L
Bonus: ₹2.5L
- Super.Money
Profile: A subsidiary of Flipkart, nearly a unicorn, and growing rapidly. The role is 5 days/week in the office. The pay is similar to Emergent's, with their own esops (not Flipkart's). I would be working on foundational front-end development for both web and mobile, which presents strong learning opportunities.
Role: SDE 3
Fixed Pay: ₹55L
Esops: 130 units
Relocation: Benefits provided
Bonus: ₹2L
- Atlassian
Profile: I am strongly considering Atlassian primarily for the brand value and the overall compensation, which is better due to liquid stocks. The fixed pay is almost the same as the other two.
Cons is role(SDE2) and the recent reviews about the company.
Role: SDE 2
Fixed Pay: ₹53L
Bonus: ₹8L
Stocks: $15k USD/year
Joining Bonus: ₹5L
I've provided this context for a fair comparison. Please let me know your views. If you have any insights from working at these companies or other factors I should consider, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
