From tier 1 college. India
Currently SDE 2 at Amazon. Got pipped. Current CTC: 60LPA
YOE: 4
Current offer from startup: 36LPA
34 fix + 2 joining bonus.
Shall I take the offer. I don’t want to due to huge paycut.
At the same time, I don’t want to stay unemployed. It’s okay for at most a month, but beyond that, savings starts burning and mental health deteriorates.
What shall I do? Shall I reject this and give more interviews ?
One option is join the startup and fly as soon as I get better offer. But this is marked permanently in my PF records and future employers will always know I left a company within weeks. Another issue is they seem to have 2-3 month of notice period which makes leaving them in future difficult. As other employers may try to avoid. BTW generally NP is negotiable and there are instances where employees were let go in 2-3 weeks only.
