Resigned from LTIMindtree in March 2026 with LWD in May. Despite being a top performer for 2 years and consistently receiving 4/4 ratings, my final rating was reduced to 1/4 after resignation, which impacted my variable pay eligibility. Disappointing experience, especially when my managers acknowledged my contributions and performance throughout the year.
Recently had some unexpected free time, so I built BeyondSalary: beyond-salary.vercel.app/ Most software engineering relocation discussions focus only on salary, but very few compare: • actual savings after tax • cost of living • healthcare • layoffs & notice periods • vacation policies • air quality • work-life balance Would genuinely love feedback from people working across these countries. Also exploring senior/staff frontend opportunities.
Pls help me choose BP: 24 LPA fixed + 2 LPA Bonus + 0.5 share buyback - Pune Ascendion: 27 LPA Fixed - BLR Publicis Sapient: 26 LPA Fixed - Gurgaon (Near home) Easebuzz - 27 LPA Fixed - Pune EXL - 26 LPA Fixed - PAN India People are saying BP gives more than 100% bonus sometimes, plus BP is a PBC and seeing current market job security is best in BP. Not sure what to choose.
Dev generally has 20% more salary, but much more workload. It also depends on your interest if you are good at building something or finding faults in something. A dev cannot code in all languages, but QA can test any website written in any language using 1 language using any automation tool. Don't think coding knowledge guys become dev and non coding do testing. Testing is not just manual testing, it is very broad field. I am SDET and moving now towards dev role.
Thank you so much i was also confused..
Dev is good, but Automation Testing has great potential, but that's until AI has fully penetrated.
Agreed but also I now code using GenAI as a guide so I don’t think Automation Testers will be made redundant by GenAI. One has to verify and validate any and all code GenAI spews out. Creative fields can never be overtaken by GenAI, only enhanced. Like photography and painting: cameras didn’t make paintings obsolete; they only made realism cheaper.
