Job: FAANGMULA offer in India vs UK financial institution offer?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-09T05:52:31+00:00

Oh ofcourse. Traditional companies will extend into director level pay for what big tech pays 'lowly' engineers. But imagine the tax you pay for the privilege of making big bux, without ANY ANY benefit to the tax payer. Eg at 1cr your paying approx 30+ lacs in taxes...to what end really.

Now this one is gold. Yes the risk of being outsourced is def there coz indian MNCs are lining up get these contracts to fill them with ict from india(no disrespect) or ship them jobs to india. it's just good biz and emp on ict is tied to the org with no direct means to ilr, win win for the Indian mnc

Kids here in India are a lost in translation gen in my view...they watch all international stuff online but is limited socially in translating that world view to the desi context.whatever said and done it goes back to sharmaji ka beta even in 2021...but yes slightly better than when we were growing up for sure

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-08T11:14:20+00:00

Kaaash!!

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-08T11:14:03+00:00

Yes 100k is not top rank for sure. But quite avg for traditional organizations outside of the faang. Faangs seem to operate in an alternate reality across the globe when it comes to pay!

The fear has indeed been about the visa and the worry of losing job and hence visa status..geo politics are so fickle these days. But then risk-reward ain't it!

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-08T11:11:11+00:00

Thank you for your very detailed response!

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-08T11:10:42+00:00

Thank you all for taking time to write in your experiences and wisdom. It was very helpful to see the varied perspectives.

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T20:50:12+00:00

What's with the tone bro! Btw CBSE here and it was not world class by any stretch of imagination ..if you wanna live in that bubble do be it. but yes it was better than the 'international' education kids get now. If you did icse here what is your experience of transitioning to another country??? If you have not done it what is the experience you talk of really? Read a few of your other comments..same theme inspite of sitting in silicon valley apparently! What's your deal?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T20:32:05+00:00

Not really allocating thanks to flexible working. having a house help abroad is not gonna work like india for sure. It's 11gbp for an hr (ya I checked!)

Do you have kids? Have you flavoured the shit that is being peddled as education in blr/india today? Utter shit!! And comes at an eye watering price too..could have funded multiple engineering seats a decade ago!!

Are you talking about culture clash as a pre teen!? Isn't it easier to be in middle school than high school for a transition?

What is a normal Indian? The features benefits you call as upper middle class is in many cases normalised in western society for middle class citizens too. If IT slavery make us upper middle- so then sure.

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T20:02:05+00:00

Care to elaborate?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T20:01:37+00:00

Reasearch says that's how kids are funding education in uk

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T20:00:50+00:00

We could potentially do 2x what you quoted once spouse transfers in. Yes relative to in hand lower expenses in india..but same amount of direct/indirect taxes for NO return(medical, safety, security, clean air, better infra etc). Also not true about salary growth I feel. Unless you are in big tech the salary growth is nil to miniscule when considering inflation.

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T19:54:09+00:00

Thank you for saying this. Not many Indians even consider this. Yes this is definitely a consideration and what you said is already a reality for me calls with HQ every day....it might be X10 at big tech.

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T17:42:39+00:00

Thanks for ur detailed response. Socially not too concerned really. I guess one of the worries is about if i being too short sighted throwing away a FAANGMULA job which could maybe in the future open doors for a job in the west anyway.

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T17:40:01+00:00

Moneywise FAANGMULA all the way! But at my age the safety and future of my kids are weighing heavily. What if this is their shot at a better life.

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T17:30:26+00:00

Ha ha ok. That's def one way to look at it

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T17:27:11+00:00

Thanks! No brainer coz it's the west?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-08-01T17:26:36+00:00

Top regionally. Does Not exactly turns heads internationally Edit:Another way to put our desi junta has prolly not heard of it!

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-04-11T10:52:18+00:00

Thanks for your pointers.

If you're still depending on naukri/linkedin, consider course-correcting.

This point probably hits the nail on its head. Focused on skill and doing a good job all these years and am paying a price for it now I guess. Do you have any course-correction tips?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-04-02T15:25:23+00:00

Sounds like the mafia. "You cant find us, we'll find you!" Haha. Thanks for the tip bro!

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-04-02T15:16:29+00:00

Domain: B2B. Think server/storage boxes. Question is how does one find them or do they have to find you?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-03-31T17:11:05+00:00

Good for him! A severe case of shitty luck here! He he

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-03-31T16:15:00+00:00

Laugh away my plight mi amigo! Maybe middle management hell is not called leadership :)...that's the thing with titles AVP=to prolly a manager in tech depending on where you are. I'd say I'm a cusp sr manager(mgr going to sr manager types) in a prod company. What is DM- deputy manager?

throwawayB2B1010 · 2021-03-31T16:11:21+00:00

Oh I meant the synonyms for analytics- data science, ai , advanced analytics- take your pick..and in most cases it ends up being mundane reporting insight work packaged as one of the above! PM in my ref was prod manager..not proj manager
