How much do you think TC numbers for offers at tech companies are a function of interview quality vs. simply negotiating? For example, if candidate A performed 7/10 on his interviews, and candidate B performed 9.5/10, do they each have theoretical "max" TCs they could each negotiate for (assuming they qualify for the same level)? How does this work behind the scenes? Do recruiters have a max # written down based on interview feedback?

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
The question unanswered still is: what matters more in getting higher TC? Good interview performance or good negotiation skills and competing offers?
Both. There is a max TC per position/level. If you just do "ok", the range will reduce. Still, nobody will ever offer you the max as the initial offer. Negotiating (and having a competing offer) will help you move closer to it.
if there are any senior eng recruiters out there, it’d be great if you could do an AMA. would love a behind the scenes look
