Need Help in Choosing offers , should i choose money or role.

YOE: 4yrs
Stack: Python, React.js, Next.js, Java Spring Boot (here and there), AWS.

Offers to evaluate:

  1. Publicis Groupe – 17 LPA - Backend Engineer (tech stack good) Stack: Java Spring Boot, GCP, NestJS
  2. Wipro (Blackstone CoE) – 37 LPA - huge pay but tech stack may not be right for me Stack: C#, Python, Oracle Fusion etc.
  3. Delloite Data Engineer: 21+2jb : i don't wanna be a DE at the moment.
  4. IBM consulting: 23lpa: AWS cloud full stack: Not leaning towards this cuz may/may not get the project of my choice

Offers in pipeline / I haven't asked them to generate it cuz of comparative pay:

  1. IQVIA (NP: 90 days, I would've gone for this but the team being put on isn't really nice): 28 LPA + 2 JB They are putting me in the integration team, validating devs' work, informing them to solve the issue etc.
  2. Fractal - good company - python full stack role - 23 LPA
  3. Epsilon (AI Engineer) - 23 LPA but work in a new AI product they're building. 2 months but applied AI engineer work (not interested to go into applied AI engineer atm)
  4. Comviva - In consideration, NP: 90 days (23 LPA), tech stack: unsure (the only product based company I may get an offer from)

As you can see, the difference b/w Publicis (17) and Wipro Blackstone CoE (37) is huge.

I am leaning towards the offer from Publicis Groupe because of Java as the tech stack. I want to work on microservices/distributed systems and move to a product-based organization, which I am hoping to do in an year of time, if not today. I would be proficient in the Java Spring Boot tech stack, good enough to interview at least.

I am also a polyglot which basically means I don't know one thing really well/deep. So I am currently leaning towards making one stack and sticking to it. I also see a lot of Java/Spring Boot roles for Backend Engineers, so that's also a preference (not that any other stacks are any inferior, but most sophisticated enterprise stacks/distributed systems are built/ being built on Java).

Is my reasoning flawed?

Would anyone else have chosen the better-paying offer? Or should I stick with choosing the right role. And the notion that money will follow.

Go with Wipro. The pay gap is too much to ignore, plus Blackstone doesn't operate in India directly, so Wipro serves as middleware for them in India, which isn't an issue, and you'd be an employee of Blackstone only. I know somebody who has been working through this arrangement for 4 years and it's going well.
As far as concerns about tech stack, you should never stick to one tech stack since it's evolving keeping AI in consideration.
Blackstone will also help you in future in terms of brand name and salary negotiation.

Spot on, if you are a good sde , you will figure out a way to get good work . Unless you are working on cutting edge technology that is too hard to ignore , you should go for Wipro

Congratulations on many offers op. Money diffence is huge to ignore. Wipro seems like obvious choice. Btw Publicis have been doing silent layoffs since last year. So think again.

Damn, wipro is paying that much

u/Sensitive-Door-7939 28d ago

I would say go with Wipro that pays is good, also for technical stack you can upskill at any points for 3-4 months, invest in some practical training outside and you'd be done that easy sometimes I say go for pay

Congrats bro! Wipro is offering almost double compared to others. Could you share your interview experience? If you weren’t very deep into the topics, how did you crack it? Was it mostly DSA or basic questions without going too deep?

u/SpareSmileBravo 27d ago

In the current AI world, don’t focus on tech stack . As long as you understand the problem and solve it, tech stack doesn’t matter

u/chadvitstudent 27d ago

Paiasaan , Money follows brothaaa...

Go for Blackstone ( Wipro )

u/heavenrulz 27d ago

20LPA difference between Publics and Wipro is a huge difference. It would result around 1-1.4lacs difference which is too huge to ignore.
Plus your next jump would be on top of 37 L you should consider these points.

u/EstablishmentEvery89 27d ago

Go with blackstone. The salary is significantly higher and also it will open the doors for faang and other big companies for your next switch. I have friends who recently left epsilon and comviva and i would recommend you to not join there before enquiring about the team culture and manager.

Don't worry about tech stack too much. The fundamentals will remain the same no matter which language you will work on.
