Analyst Development Program salaries in India

Need input on my situation. Offer 1 - Corporate Strategy at Defense Prime. 180k, in-office but it’s a 5 minute commute. Offer 2 - Proposal Manager in Defense Tech, 180k with 100k in RSUs over 4 years, 2 days in office. Love both firms and teams, but torn. Proposals full time isn’t great, but can pivot after a year or so. However, if something happens prior to pivot it will be hard to get non-proposal job, whereas corporate strategy the world could still be my oyster.

I’m curious whether anyone here has switched jobs primarily because of a manager, not the company itself. A bad reporting line can make a decent role feel impossible. Was leaving because of your boss the right call?

I work in customer facing role (CSM) in B2B SaaS. My partner (he works in applied AI) suggested that in the future, my people skill will be highly beneficial combined with tech skill (people who vibe code or use coding assistant still need to understand code) so he adviced me to learn coding. Perhaps not to deep like SWE but at least I understand the surface. What do you think?

Any advice for an account person that wants to start over & go into design? I don’t know where to begin…
