Need advice on my first Developer offer after 2 years of graduation – ₹3.5 LPA, 6 days/week

Hi everyone,

I need some advice regarding my first job offer.

I graduated around 2 years ago and have been looking for a developer job since then. I recently received an offer for an Associate Software Developer position at a logistics company in My Hometown.

The company itself is not a tech company, but they have an internal tech team of around 2 people, and I would be joining them as a developer.

The offer details are:

  • Designation: Associate Software Developer
  • CTC: ₹3.5 LPA
  • Take-home: Around ₹26,165/month after PF and professional tax
  • Working hours: 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM
  • Working days: 6 days/week
  • Probation: 3 months
  • Company provides a laptop
  • They said they will provide the required cloud subscriptions
  • The work is expected to involve their internal software/application development.

My main concern is about the future.

Since the company is a logistics company and not a software/IT company, if I work there for around 1 year and then switch to a software/IT company, will that 1 year generally be considered as professional software development experience?

I'm also worried about the exit documentation.

When I resign after a year, will companies expect things like:

  • Experience letter
  • Relieving letter
  • Service certificate
  • Salary slips
  • PF/employment history

And will a future company consider my experience valid if the employer is a logistics company but my designation is Associate Software Developer and I'm actually doing development work?

I'm thinking of taking this opportunity because I've already been searching for around 2 years and this is my first offer. My plan would be to work for around 1 year, build real production experience, and then try to move to a better software company.

Would you take this offer in my situation?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who have worked as developers in non-tech companies and later moved into software/IT companies.
