Apart from all the obvious variables like pay package there are a lot of things that needs to be taken care of. One is profile and growth. The kind of work you will be doing has a lot to do with your growth. So, just don't take decision based on initial pay, explore more on growth and experience you'll get. Other things to be taken care are exposure, agility of the company, your working schedule, company people and culture, life balance etc. Ask your friends and people working in these companies and understand how the culture is and work like, opportunities you will get. In IT it’s also very important you learn and keep yourself update on the various new technologies. Keep these things in mind.

To decide which company to join- Look for the offer they are offering. Depending on your skill set compare the roles offered by the two companies. While comparing the roles, look for the one with good future opportunities. Technologies like Big Data, R/Python, UNIX-Shell Scripting, Android are some the growing technological areas where opportunities are immense. Also, look for the hierarchy you will be following after joining the organisation and position you might be in 5 years down the line. Lastly, you must also look for the compensation offer made by the organisations. A good starting salary will enhance your chances of getting good pay scales over the years. Join a good organisation with good knowledge management, better reviews in market by the current employees/ ex-employees and social initiatives taken by the organisations.

The criteria should be based on the following parameters. The priority of these parameters depends on the candidate. 1. Profile- Definitely the single most important thing. IT companies have a multitude of operations and hence there are many profiles. So, which is relevant to your career is something you need to introspect and determine. 2. Domain- IT industry can have a domain like pre-sales, sales, consulting, development, HR, digital transformation and now emerging topics like big data/dev ops and finance tech. So, which is the domain being offered by both of them and the scalability of those domains needs to be checked. Do ensure that the relevancy of the domain doesn't vanish in next 5 years. Make this choice like a marathon runner and not a sprinter 3. Money- Oh yes, compensation, CTC, in-hands and what not. This is what motivates most of us to get up in the morning and undergo the daily grind. Depending on your educational qualifications and experience, compare the money being offered by these companies. As the companies you mention are 'top' IT organisations, they offer will be definitely around the industry average or better. Hence, it won't be difficult to track. 4. Location- Yes, it does count for a lot of employees especially if you don't want to relocate to another city. Staying closer to your base helps in saving time (in commute) and money as well. Hope this helps. All the best!

Firstly, compare the job role offered by the two companies. Compare the fixed and variable components being offered, the kind of bonuses being offered. Look for the growth perspective - it is very important to understand from the hiring managers about your prospective growth curve in the next few years with an assumption of an average performance. It is very important to understand the culture of the organization before stepping in. May be it is because of the strict policies that you just cant withstand. Does your job offer flexible work timings? If you are a back-end developer and have to code, timing shouldn't matter for you, right? Doesn't work that way at all the companies. Figure out if flexible timings are permitted, how flexible are policies in terms of leaves and work from home benefits. Perks like free lunch, travel allowances, team outings once a month are some of the great attractions for employees to rejuvenate.

Congratulations on the achievement. Choosing between two offers is actually very tough, because every offer seems to be an achievement and you know that you want to start your career badly. Making the right decision is actually very important. The decision making should be based on certain factors such as: The job profile: In case of an IT background the program, technology, project that you are getting associated with plays a vital role. This is where you will be learning with the projects and your knowledge will develop further hence choose wisely the program/project which is more in demand. The ROI of the brand: associating yourself with a company plays a huge role in the future placements. The brand that you work with has after effects on the future companies that will be interested to employ you. Your experience in the particular brand will also be an added advantage to the salary packages offered. Environment/Job stability: It is always good to go for companies with established foundations as this gives you more job security.
