Interviewing with a few other Hi all I have received verbal confirmation for the offer mentioned above. Given the current market condition, imo the base is good enough. But they are not giving any joining/performance bonus. I expected to receive that. What are your thoughts on this? Should I negotiate or accept it? What are people getting these days? #tech #Rippling
Offer is good if you are ready to grind 12 hrs daily
Offer with higher base is always better option
Offers are being rescinded in this economy. Make sure you check everything before putting down you papers.
Don’t join kotak. I heard from one of my friend working there that they are hiring like crazy without any plans. There is no good work there to do. Most probably they will hire and fire.
Be aware that Kotak has 90 days NP and also have lot of Amazonian SDEs and SDMs
Congratulations and pls share the interview experience!! What other companies are hiring right now?
Total 4 rounds: UI tech (live coding), HM, System design, DSA. I had to go through another System design round coz the last one didn't go very well. Other few companies are hiring (DE Shaw, Rubrik, Kotak, Google, Groww, Harness, Razorpay) but overall jobs are fewer.
Offer is good seeing the market conditions Rippling do pay more than this for your YOE Can you name the team as well? I can help
You should negotiate on joining bonus. If you tell them you have competing offer who are offering joining bonus, they might match that. Might be able to increase base as well but that will be possible only if they are desperate to close. Overall you should still take the Rippling offer even if negotiations dont work, you wont regret it!
I had 55 base offer with rippling in 2021 dec and even that was considered normal, gooooood old dayssss!!
Not all are lucky enough like you to get interview calls from top companies bhai
All d best sir, hope you land your dream company. Lucky is good synonym for hardwork though🙌
What’s your Kotak offer?
Let me add in the post
Add more base or stocks or joining bonus. You are gonna grind 12-14 hours daily. Negotiate something atleast.
