Hi Community,
I need your opinion on my offers.

YOE: 2 years 2 months (Graduated in 2023)
Location: Bangalore, India


ShareChat

Role: SDE 2

  • Fixed: 33 LPA
  • Joining Bonus: 2 LPA
  • Perf Bonus: 4 LPA
  • ESOPs: 43 LPA (vested over 4 years – 25%, 25%, 25%, 25%)
  • 1st Year TC: 33 + 2 + 4 + 11 ≈ 50 LPA

Zeta

Role: SDE 2

  • Fixed: 32 LPA
  • Joining Bonus: 3 LPA
  • Retention Bonus: 2 LPA
  • ESOPs: 8 LPA (vested over 4 years – 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%)
  • 1st Year TC: 32 + 3 + 2 + 0.8 ≈ 38 LPA

Which one would be better in terms of growth and learning? Both teams are working on a similar tech stack.
The cash component of both offers is similar; the major difference in compensation comes from the ESOPs.

I’d appreciate your opinions and insights!
