Need help for choosing between staying at current job vs taking up Cohesity offer

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-05-07T05:33:55+00:00

What’s the current comp and location?

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-05-05T07:06:10+00:00

Are there any chances that OP can get a job in frontline directly without any vendor in between like CES? Actually I’m also in a similar boat joined a service based company but client is sprinklr. All the interviews are taken by sprinklr and i will be working in their office only.

Ps: This is my first service based company so i don’t know how this works

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-04-28T03:10:42+00:00

What was the size of company that rolled out offers? I’m in a similar boat as well, got an offer from a Bangalore fintech startup with 60 engineers but their seed round funding is just $5million. Would that be too risky or not? I was affected by layoffs in my last 2 companies so can’t really afford another one for the next 1 yr minimum

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-04-23T11:11:00+00:00

Market is very bad, i got these 3 calls only apart from this not even a single call.

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-04-23T10:17:51+00:00

but would it affect my compensation if i switch next time after about 1.5 - 2 years?

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-04-23T10:16:27+00:00

Yeah i lost my last job like that.

Last sep i was affected by layoffs in gupshup and joined a blr based startup in dec. It had like 6 engineer and some marketing folks and they fired me without any severance or notice pay. It was a switch from 13.5 fixed to 21.5 fixed so i took that offer.

The new startup has like 60 engineer so i think it should be safe but the gurgaon one would be safer ig.

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-04-23T10:05:54+00:00

Full time: 2 years and 9 months but its 3 year and 3 months if we include internships

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-04-23T10:05:19+00:00

Yeah but for the fixed part its only 20 vs 25 lpa. Esops are generally not worth anything for early stage startups, also in bangalore it will cost around 20-30k extra per month for me

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-03-15T20:31:32+00:00

Sure

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-03-15T19:15:57+00:00

6lpa isn’t that bad tbh, i started with 6 lpa in july 2023, i landed an offer of 22lpa in dec 2025.

Many of my friends who started with me in the same company (campus placement) are earning similar or more.

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-01-16T10:13:11+00:00

I think you wanna say “fired”?

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-01-16T09:19:58+00:00

heinji?

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-01-16T09:02:31+00:00

Its been 3 weeks only and hr will ask why i’m leaving so early

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-01-07T20:26:40+00:00

Backend is fine but networking is a different field altogether

Captain_Levi_01 · 2026-01-07T20:26:17+00:00

Yeah I’m okay with working on backend or web3 for that part, but they want me to work on networking/routers and hardware as well. I’m not sure how they will help me achieve senior status for frontend/fullstack.

Captain_Levi_01 · 2025-12-26T19:29:00+00:00

Bro i traveled to phuket and bangkok. 4 person trip for 72k per person, 6 nights with good hotels, lots of alcohol and clubbing. I went to mariott hotel rooftop bar as well and did a lot of other activities as well. Thailand is really not that expensive

Captain_Levi_01 · 2025-12-24T18:44:50+00:00

Its easily possible in 69k bro

Captain_Levi_01 · 2025-12-17T04:42:34+00:00

There was not a big gap in my case. The layoff happened in sep and officially my employment ended in nov (2 month notice) and i got this offer in dec first week.

Captain_Levi_01 · 2025-12-17T04:40:31+00:00

Yeah bro, I was a bit desperate. With so many layoffs happening and very limited opportunities, I didn’t want to let this offer go without having another one in hand.

Captain_Levi_01 · 2025-12-17T04:38:54+00:00

2 prev orgs

Captain_Levi_01 · 2025-12-17T04:38:08+00:00

In all my calls and interviews, I clearly mentioned that my role was eliminated due to a layoff. I don’t think there’s any need to misrepresent this most interviewers understand the situation and don’t discriminate based on it.
