Upset! HM reneged my offer when I wanted sign on bonus/air tickets, called me GREEDY!!!
Got an "offer" from a UK based leading Investment Bank - (role based in Scotland, LCOL). HM round also went well and was cool. Now during salary negotiation, he offered 40K GBP, which I declined as it was super low, so he offered 50K GBP. I said OK and then asked for Relocation/Joining or at least Economy class Flight Tickets as I am based in India.
He rudely said to me, "I am in position of power. I have 5 more candidates like you. If you don't like, walk away. You are very greedy. It was a mistake from me to offer you even 50K." very rudely. I was stunned and upset. I just said ok and wanted to end the call ASAP as I was upset.
After 5 mins recruiter called me back and says this role is closed and hence you are disqualified. When I probed further, recruiter admitted, that me negotiating JB/Flight tickets was not taken kindly by HM after I accepted base salary and hence they reneged my offer!
I am upset and depressed and have lost the desire to move to UK :(
If that HM is reading this - "F**k you man, F**k your lowball offer, where you cant even give a 1-way economy ticket. I dodged a bullet as my ultimate aim is tech companies/FAANG and I cannot imagine working with a rude narcissist a$$ like you"
Tax:
31L INR TC, 8+ YOE. 1L INR = 1,00,000 INR
Offer received/reneged - 50K GBP base + 10% pension. NO annual bonus/JB/Relocation/Flight tickets.

Better keep trying but don't be too desperate. Check out Amazon UK/EU, they are hiring a lot.
People from Blind need to remember that not everyone is earning Bay Area salaries.
I will target these top tier product companies now. Thank you!
I will try one of the companies you mentioned. Thank you!
