Recently, a senior technical professional rejected a job offer of £ 9.6m a year, which created an online debate on salary expectations in the Indian technology industry. Werver Junaid Khatri shared the incident on Instagram, where he received more than 2,00,000 views and provoked debate. According to Khatri, he recruited for the post of ‘engineering chief’ in an unknown company. The company was looking for a candidate with 17 years of experience. However, the candidate rejected the offer and said he wanted a fixed salary of £ 1.3 crore (£ 13m), which was much higher than the £ 9.6m budget for the post. Khatri said he tried to find a middle road, but the talks failed. He said: “It is sad to reject this candidate, his salary is £ 1.3m, and the budget of this post is £ 9.6m.” Users said, “Hire us!” Hurts to reject this one candidate, he is at 1.3CR and the budget for the role is 96L. Try to talk a middle ground on both sides, didn’t work. The Post has drawn a variety of reactions online, from comments that discussed the salary expectations in the industry to ‘Hire US!’ Also, funny comments are like. One user joked: “Me and my whole group of five friends will work for Rs 96 Lakh.” Another user added: “Only external work, good technical skills, meaningful work and balance between work and life can convince someone to accept an offer lower than their current CTC.” A third user joked, “Bro, just give me 6 lakh and I’ll start working. God gave me a lot of brain – if I don’t know anything, I’ll learn it quickly!”
