Ya I know some will argue those companies pay higher cos in the first place they are good, so if you no experience don’t try your luck lol, but if you have experience jolly well go for it. There’s also smaller firms out there who are paying more on the job, culture is also one thing job seekers can consider and job scope includes engagement you will be dealing with, responsibilities, offer package.
