One get satisfaction on providing basic infrastructure to country. Team spirit up to Divisional unit.

Dislikes

Too much political interference, non engineering responsibilities takes most of your quality working time. Sometime personal ego and intrests jeopardize team working. PWD officials spend very less time for planning and estimation which is entrusted to technical staffs like surveyors and drawing staff. Higher officers tend to become track minded.

Skill development - Poor

I got an offer from both the companies, manager role. Flipkart’s offer: fixed (x) + variable pay + stock Deloitte’s offer: fixed (x+1) + variable + 1.5L joining bonus Variable pay % is the same. Flipkart is offering a sizeable huge chunk in stock. What should I consider apart from compensation? Annual hikes, WLB, work culture, etc? (Note that It’s a non IT role)

Flipkart vs Deloitte
