So currently I am having an offer from EPAM. Let’s not talk about pay and all. This is not about that.

Just to give a glimpse, i have X, epam is giving X+4, but my annual hike is upcoming and I will get almost the same pay, but with fully remote in my current company.

So in my current org, the work is not so good. Firstly i am a senior java dev, put into project where react and nest js are being used. And i have genuinely no interest going for these stack.

So i started applying for jobs. Cracked epam, got rejected by oracle.

I barely got a call and i f’d it up. I am good with DS but slightly bad with System design, which i got to know from my oracle interview. However, i am pushing myself to get better in that too.

I just am in the dilemma that should i stay in my company and keep preparing for better companies or go to epam and hustle a bit, know the architecture and stuff, get some good work and then switch?

Pay is gonna be same in both my present and epam, in next 3 months.

However, the remote part is holding me back. And I think like what if I crack a better role than epam by studying day and night(which is also difficult given my age, 29. Fookin marriage and stuff, i broke up with my gf and have to go through this AM, anyway leave this).

What do you guys suggest?
