...f KPIs. The only con I feel is it's very competitive and difficult to grow here. Anyone who joins with higher position like 'manager' won't face much issue regarding salary though. But annual bonus is good. There is opportunity to get award and quarterly bonus for outstanding performance.

Skill development - Good

Only increment of salary so far. There should be promotion and career growth for atleast one hardworking person in each team every year.

We are allowed to speak but most of the time, decisions are not made based on the group discussion. We are not realistic and are too ambitious, which leads to a fall in targets.

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?
