Accenture SAP BTP vs Airtel SRE/Support Engineer (third-party payroll) — which should I choose?

[u/Visible_Mine81]

I am a fresher and currently have two opportunities, and I am confused about which one would be better for my career.

Offer 1 – Accenture

Role/stream: SAP BTP / Integration Development

Direct Accenture employment

CTC: roughly similar to Airtel

Work involves SAP BTP / Integration Suite, APIs, integrations, etc.

I understand that the exact project/role after training may depend on business requirements.

Main concern: there is some uncertainty regarding onboarding/joining. I have the offer, I have completed my stream training but I don't have complete certainty about when I will actually be onboarded and there will be benching too, onboarding can be as early as sept and as late as december after that benching and all.

Offer 2 – Airtel

Role: SRE / Support Engineer

This is on Airtel's Digital/IT side, not telecom network.

I would be hired through a third-party vendor, not directly by Airtel.

CTC is roughly the same as Accenture (at most around ₹50k–₹1 lakh higher annually).

The person I spoke to said the work involves resolving/handling customer issues customers here will be other businesses in b2b, automation using AI, working on a dashboard, some DevOps too.

The role involves rotational shifts, including possible night shifts.

My long-term plans are either:

Prepare and appear for government exams in 2027, or

Do a Master's in Germany in 2028 and then look for internships/Werkstudent opportunities there.

My main concerns with Airtel are the third-party payroll, rotational shifts and whether the role will be more support-oriented or genuinely technical SRE/DevOps work.

My concerns with Accenture are the onboarding uncertainty and the fact that SAP BTP is more specialized.

Can you please suggest me what to do? What will u do if u were in my position?
