I am a 2025 passout from a Tier-1 college. My Years of Experience (YOE) are 5 months. The company offering the role is Oracle. The role is Application Engineer - 1. The job location options are Noida, Hyderabad, and Bangalore. The base salary is ₹20,20,000 LPA (including PF). I received an RSU grant of $48,000 (approximately ₹43,20,000) vested over four years (40-30-20-10). Benefits include standard Oracle benefits. My first-year total compensation is ₹37,48,000 LPA (comprising base salary and first-year RSU component of ₹17,28,000).

I received an offer from Oracle (OCI) for an SMTS role. The compensation offered is approximately 70% higher than my current take-home pay. The offer includes a base salary of 42 LPA and RSUs worth $90,000 (total grant), vesting over 4 years (40%, 30%, 20%, 10%), which equates to 18.675 LPA annually (assuming 1 USD = 83 INR). The role is in a different domain with new technology for me. I consider the offer strong financially and in terms of brand value.

I received an offer from OHAI (Oracle) for the PMTS level. The fixed component is 60L per year (PF + base). The offer includes $90k in RSUs, vesting over four years (40%, 30%, 20%, 10%). The base component was increased due to a competing offer. I am evaluating this offer as I am currently not on a promotion path at Amazon.

I am a Tier 1 2023 passout with 2.5 years of experience. My current compensation is 25.5 LPA (21.5 fixed + 4 performance-based). I received an offer for Senior Applications Engineer (IC3) at Oracle Application Labs. The offer includes a fixed salary of 33 LPA. RSUs are 12000 USD vested over 4 years (40%, 30%, 20%, 10%), which equates to 3000 USD annually (approximately 2.49 LPA assuming 1 USD = 83 INR). Relocation costs are reimbursed. There is no sign-on bonus. I think I am getting lowballed here, especially with the RSUs. I am asking if this is the optimum pay at Oracle Application Labs and if variable pay is a concept at Oracle. I am also interested in knowing about the work culture in OAL and any potential red flags.

I have been offered an SMTS (IC3 level) position at Oracle OCI. My base salary is 40 LPA. Stocks offered are 60,000 USD over 4 years, with a vesting schedule of 40-30-20-10. My current Years of Experience (YOE) is 6+. I am seeking guidance on whether this compensation is fair and what the realistic upper negotiation limit for an IC3 role might be. I have concerns regarding the chances of layoffs for IC3 engineers at OCI/Oracle in the first year, particularly before stock vesting. I would appreciate insights into the Work-Life Balance (WLB), Culture, and tech stack specifically for the OCS (Oracle Cloud Subscription) team.

Role: PMTS (Principal Software Engineer) Experience: 9+ years Base Salary: 54.75 LPA (includes PF) RSUs: $75k vesting over 4 years (40%, 30%, 20%, 10%) Location: Bengaluru, India

I was offered a Principal Software Engineer role. My years of experience are 10. The base salary offered is 51 LPA (AGC). Employer's PF component is 2.75 LPA. RSUs offered are 75,435 USD, estimated at 64 Lakhs over 4 years (16 LPA annually). The total compensation is calculated as 51 LPA (Base) + 2.75 LPA (Employer's PF) + 16 LPA (Annualized RSU), totaling 69.75 LPA. No joining bonus was offered. I am seeking advice on whether this compensation is good and inquiring about the approximate amount of a yearly bonus not mentioned in the offer letter or CTC.

I recently accepted Oracle offer for an IC3 position. My base pay is $152k. My RSU's are $205K vesting over 4 years (40,30,20,10).

My in-hand compensation is projected to drop compared to my current job due to Oracle's base including PF, slower RSU vesting schedule (40% year 1, then decreasing), and limited EPF contributions. My current role provides monthly variable pay, which contributes to better cash flow. There is potential for higher total compensation if Oracle stock performs strongly in the next 3 years. I am concerned about mixed/negative online reviews for the OHAI organization and the potential impact on my cash flow or career path. I am seeking advice on whether to accept the Oracle offer or remain in my current role, particularly insights from those experienced with Oracle, Health/OHAI teams, or compensation trajectory comparisons.

I interviewed with Oracle. They downgraded me to IC2 after the interview rounds, as I was interviewed for an IC3 role. They are saying they don't give stocks at that level. The maximum they can offer is 25 as total CTC. I have 3.6 years of experience.

I received a verbal offer for an SMTS role at Oracle Health. The total compensation offered is around 55 LPA (base + RSUs), which they stated is their maximum budget. The role is remote. I will be working with Java / Spring Boot for a new team, which seems like an interesting tech stack and project. I am considering whether to accept this offer or wait for a better opportunity (targeting around ₹60L+ CTC), as Oracle is known for no annual hikes. My current company's work-life balance is poor, making it difficult to prepare for interviews, and I currently have no other interviews in the pipeline.
