It all depends on the person's priorties. One must weigh in pros and cons. I had been in similar situation and went for onsite option. It took 3 months for the visa to be processed and I managed to fly. However, we lost that account in next 6 months when SoW was to be signed and almost entire onshore team travelled back offshore. Having said this, in terms of decision, one should think of one's comfort level in the project, how the manager and overall team is, how good is onsite manager. If there is toxic environment in the project, manager is a pestering one, then there is no room for any negotiation for me, just serve the notice period and wait for farewell. On the other hand, if one is knowledgeable and comfortable in the project, the manager is trustworthy and genuine and as you have mentioned in the video if he has a specific plan in mind, then there may not be harm in accepting onsite offer. But always be ready for the worst case possibility that there is every chance that it may not work out. It's a calculated risk.

I will go with Accenture, reason for that is: When we make decision to switch we should consider all the factors, weather its package, role, technologies etc. including the case of onsite opportunity. If I am really interested in onsite opportunity I will myself ask for it or negotiate for it before resigning not accepting it after resigning .

I have lived and worked in multiple countries and now settled in India. What I realised is that If you have talent and work hard you can be successful anywhere in the world. When I started my career there used to be huge differences between India and abroad. Building careers was easier abroad and salary was much higher. Things have changed now. Not only salary has increase drastically in India (at least in tech industry), work culture and quality of work is quite similar in India nowadays. Many of my friends working in FAANG and other Big Tech companies in India are earning > 50LPA (in some cases over 1CR). They are not really interested to go to "onsite". Some working abroad at senior level in MNCs even took internal transfer and came back to India.

Now a days in India candidate who has experienced 5 yrs, getting package of 20 lakhs ..for such handsome salary its better to stay in India. Here growth opportunities are more, on site salary hike is negligible and after come back again need to work on old salary

I stayed and came to onsite. I am happy with decision.

Resigned from tcs in 2022, tcs promises are just vague and verbal, no transparancy in tcs process either for promotion or onsite, they will raise a dummy request just for convincing but it takes quaters to years to get all approvals and moreover manager would not gove anything in written, even if they do they wont honour it, tcs is now becoming a clerical govt office setup where too many approvals for a small thing is required, i would go with 10 lpa with Accenture

The main problem behind the 'Indian' ideology is the word 'Onsite' itself. What is the need to work FROM a foreign country just for the sake of it if you can work from home? In case you have a particular expertise that is highly sought after in a foreign country and you have a mindset to work IN a foreign country, then why not work with an employer there directly? Why would someone want to fall at the feet of all these so called managers in India and beg for onsite? Or why would someone fall for an onsite offer in the situation as mentioned here in this video? This happens only to people who do not possess any real differentiating skillset in their domain but still want to work from out of India for the 'money' and other perks it offers. After all, it is each individual's choice where they want to work, it should not be dictated or controlled by other people. To make this happen there needs to be some leverage within oneself, which is the differentiating skillset.

Before I get shot down for the above comment, I am a manager in a western country and I work for an MNC based out of this country and I am paid really well, way more than what one would get for the typical 'Onsite'. I did not go onsite, rather, I was interested in moving out of India due to personal reasons. With my observations of the outer world while working in the 'assembly line' called Indian IT industry, I figured out what was needed to be considered by foreign employers and I worked towards enhancing that. Later when the time was right, I showcased my skills and was invited to work for this company, needless to say, I am quite satisfied with the outcome. Please do note, no begging or grovelling involved, I made my own path. It was not even an interview, rather it was a discussion between the company and myself on how I can help them achieve their objectives and how I expect them to support me towards my goal. No person of Indian origin was involved in my discussions and that probably contributed to them recognising and accepting my value proposition (I do not intend to stereotype).

Best option is to switch.
Never stay with any counter offer by current employer.
Especially with service based companies.

6LPA will be adjusted with PPP (purchasing power parity) to the onside country. Which means my CTC will still remain same and zero growth.

Always go for money(if experience is less than 10 years of experience)

[haranbtech]

Stay and go to onsite.
1. Financial benefit.
2. Resume will look much better with fewer jumps and onsite role.
3. Potential to jump company in abroad. And get PR.
4. 4l might look as a difference now, but it is really not compared to an onsite.
5. few months down line you can crack another interview with 10l or better package. But get onsite on new company is even harder.

Hello sir. I really like your videos.
Along with career guidance, young people also need to know about managing their personal finances. I believe that a good career is dependent on how a person manages his/her money too. Could you make a video on how you manage your personal finances, investments etc. without giving any numbers of course. 😊

[Elango]

I think I'll go with Accenture. In countries like the US, onsite opportunities take a long time and aren't guaranteed.

[amitbhatta]

I was exactly in same position with same set of salary but with different organizations. I chose onsite but it backfired and then I switched after waiting one year for onsite despite having the visa already.

[azimmulla]

Companies nowadays treat you as liability not assest for a point changing company for a better offer is a good option as there is no job security

[deepah]

I had this situation. Went UK onsite for 2 yrs, came back and continued for 1 yr and changed the company

[indianlad]

One thing that prompts me to watch your video apart from your content presentation, is the length of your videos.. which are never more than 10 mins. 👍

[vkc]

NEVER TRUST the bait of Onsite after you resign. I repeat NEVER.
Reason: If they haven't thought of sending you earlier, then there is NO reason to believe that they will send you now.
If onsite is something you aim for, you can get it in Accenture as well.
GO with ACCENTURE.

But if more hike AND Onsite is on offer, there are chances to stay back but don't rollback your resignation until you have your hike letter with effective month.

[aleemshaik]

It depends on the experience and personal situation.

[vedvyasmudgalkarpravachan]

I will go with Accenture because I heard on LinkedIn once that never accept counter offer. They might replace you once your dependency is gone.

[DipankarKaul]

I am no way connected to IT, but in a similar situation like this, I will go with Accenture. The reason is not only the money which I will be getting as a hike, but also, the journey in the new company may also give another opportunity to to work On-site (I assume this is client base somewhere in a foreign country or on a reputed project). The new job came to me based on my skills, competencies and experience and is a direct measure of my success...projects will definitely come as long as I contribute to the organization. My skills, competencies are directly measured (and compensated) through the monetary benefits I receive, so if these are marked and offered, I will accept and grow further in Accenture! Now will watch the remaining part of video!
