Indian Tech Professional Declines ₹96 LPA Offer, Salary Debate Goes Viral

9 months ago

A recruiter recently shared a viral story about a senior tech professional who refused a ₹96 lakh-per-annum offer because he sought ₹1.3 crore. 

High-Paid Tech Role Turns Downed

Juned Khatri, who posted the incident on X, said he was hiring for a ‘Head of Engineering’ role at an undisclosed company. The candidate, highly sought after, had salary expectations far beyond the company’s budget.

Efforts to find a compromise proved futile. “Hurts to reject this one candidate, he is at 1.3cr and the budget for the role is 96L. Tried talking a mid ground on both ends, didn't work,” Khatri wrote. The candidate reportedly has 17 years of experience, making him an ideal fit but one whose compensation demands were hard to meet.
