I recently interviewed for a Software Developer role at PayPal(India). The recruiter informed me that the feedback was positive. Before releasing the offer, the recruiter is asking for my current salary documents and other compensation-related proof. I am asking if it is common to request such documents before releasing an offer. I am also asking if I should provide them or ask for the offer first.

I received feedback that I cleared the Salesforce LMTS role. I am asking how much salary I can expect for this role. My current total compensation is 95 LPA.

HR reached out to me for an SDE position. I successfully cleared two technical rounds (system design, DSA, CS fundamentals, projects). The 3rd round with the VP was repeatedly rescheduled and had issues with communication. After a month-long process, I was abruptly told that instead of the promised SDE role, the company could only offer me an internship at ₹25,000/month (3 LPA). I felt this experience reflected unprofessionalism and mismanagement.

I received an offer for the MTS-3 role at Nutanix. The location for this role is Bangalore. My base salary offer is 45 LPA. I was also offered a signing bonus of 2 LPA and a stock bonus of 10K USD per year (approximately 8.3 LPA, assuming 1 USD = 83 INR). My total compensation for the first year, including all components, is estimated to be 55.3 LPA. I have 5 years of experience. I have a concern about a recent 11-month career break and brief tenures at two companies, questioning if switching to Nutanix is a wise decision.

I secured a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO). My role is SDE (Software Development Engineer). My base salary is 15 LPA. My total compensation is 22 LPA.

I interviewed for the SDE Intern role in Pune. The stipend offered was 35,000 INR per month, which calculates to 4.2 LPA. The interview process consisted of a single Technical Interview lasting 1 hour. In the technical interview, I was asked two problems: Q1: Maximum Performance of a Team. I used a min-heap and sorted employees by efficiency (descending) with an O(n log n) time complexity approach. Q2: Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS). A week later, I received an offer from Mindtickle, but I politely declined it as I had secured an offer from BrowserStack which I felt had a better work culture and reputation.

This internship at CRED was initially offered with a promise of 6 months + FTE. I received a monthly stipend of INR 1,00,000. However, the experience was challenging and included: Being put on-call in the first month itself. Expected to work till 2–3 AM regularly. Forced daily office presence with no flexibility. No proper knowledge transfer, just random tasks dumped. Open abuses in the office, treating interns like slaves. Only 10–20% of interns received FTE mails, with no clarity from HR.

Role : SDE-2 (Product based company) CTC : 24LPA fixed (no variable) YOE : 3 Location : Bangalore I was worried about being underpaid for a long time, but after focused prep I managed nearly double my pay. Balancing prep with work and landing interviews wasn’t easy, but it feels worth it now.
