Currently SDE2 at Amazon in india received an internal offer from Amazon London. I want advice on whether this will be a good decision compared to a company switch in India given I can get an offer in the 70-80L range. I am all up for experiencing London and travelling Europe but if I cannot save(~45L) i.e 10-15L in a year more than what I save in India I am getting doubts, the bare minimum I want to save is what I save in india(30-35L) Current TC: 65L (This will drop next year by 12%) Offered London TC: 125K GBP YOE: ~3 Age: 25 Context on my lifestyle: Gym and something like tennis or swimming, getting in my protein, prefer making my own food, 2-3 movies in theaters and 2-3 dates every month, 1-2 trips every 3 months, 3 times a year travel to India. #london #amazon #uk #india
Age ? If young go get experience. If already married , kids , etc then stay back
Updated, Age - 25, Yoe - 3
We do not need you in Europe!
Who the fuck is we? You donāt represent shit
But your masters have already approved. Pid
Take London and experience the world. 10 lakhs here are there will not make any difference for your package level
I will say this is the right age to get more exposure/ travel...Do it
Do it. At age 25 international experience will open more doors for you!
You are going to save less in UK. The taxes, cost of living will make the savings lesser than India. Dating might be difficult in UK compared to India. But you can get good exposure by living in a multicultural city. You can travel to European cities easily. Edit: I am 24 years old, 3 YOE in the same boat as you.
Do it for the experience. 125k in london is a very good salary at your age. Granted high taxes and high cost of living, but you live only once.
Which companies are offering 70-80L @3yoe? On your question: Your take home would be close to 6.5k/month or 78k/year after tax. This could be less if this 125k includes RSU . Though this is very decent pay, it's nearly impossible to save 50% of your take home in London, especially with the lifestyle you mentioned. You are likely to save much less. But if saving is not a deal breaker given that you are quite young, I would say go for it. It will definitely add value to your career and personal goals.
Even in meta you canāt save 50% of you take home ? Here in India I spend only 25% of my post tax based and lead a very comfortable life
The pay in the UK/EU is not as extravagant as the US. Moreover, the taxes here are a bit*h. Savings are definitely higher in India. But the quality of life and everyday experience in the UK is far better.
Following. In a similar situation but for Europe.
