My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133. I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter). This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response. Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?

Dislikes

With Marvell taking over Cavium Networks, the culture has changed drastically. Cavium had a great environment and had humanity. Do not join if you want job security (complete job security is a myth, i mean more security than Marvell.), they can fire at the drop of a hat because they are so bent on only profits. The human factor is missing. You will not even be conveyed why you got fired in the first place, the hr will just ask you to clear out in 48 hours, period. Sevarance packages are quite decent though. I am not judging their policy of firing, they are firing most probably to keep themsrlves profitable and thats how they prefer to run the show. But it wreaks havoc on the employees mind. Join at your own peril or seek some place which are a bit more human.
