They don’t provide challenging work that has a good impact on one’s satisfaction. The pay compared to the counterparts are very less. The pay scale revision for certain roles have not been done for the past 10 years. The stipend they provide during internship needs a serious revision.

-> Work life balance is awesome -> Job security is really awesome when it comes to the type of industry we're working in where employees getting fired is everyday affair. -> Decent oncall allowance for support -> Office cabs will pick you up from literally anywhere in Bangalore -> Manager and PO wont sit on your head all the time to get the work done unless its taking really really long, you take your time to get it done. -> Last December we got extra 1.5 lac bonus other than regular perfomance bonus. -> 3 times meal and evening snacks while hybrid model is going on.

...ems i face as everyone face them in literally all companies from time to time. The only general improvement Fidelity needs is that salary may need a serious revision to match the industry standards. Rest all is good, you can literally retire working here!!!

New offer. Confused.
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?
