The developer, Kartik Jolapara, commented on the anonymous person's impressive job offer, saying, ¡°What 10 years of experience can get you - crazy offers.¡±
This individual, who graduated from a tier 3 college and has a non-CS background, landed a remarkable position at Google.
Their offer includes a salary of Rs 65 lakh per year, along with generous bonuses: a Rs 9 lakh annual bonus, a Rs 19 lakh signing bonus, and a Rs 5 lakh relocation bonus.
They were extended the role of Senior Software Engineer, which, as indicated in the screenshot, they ¡°accepted wholeheartedly.¡±
How did people respond?
However, in a surprising twist, the comments section didn¡¯t explode with the expected excitement.
Instead of being met with awe at the impressive figures, many users began to question the original poster¡¯s assessment of the offer as ¡°crazy.¡±
One commenter wrote, ¡°Am I the only one who's not thrilled looking at these numbers? I mean arent they common in tech?¡±
Another said, ¡°These numbers can be seen with people with 6-8 yoe experience as well. I have seen people getting similar or even more.¡±

It¡¯s very good, not crazy.
Crazy is my friend living in the room beside getting like 40L as base as a fresher in India.
To be very honest

Not impressed with the numbers. I¡¯ve seen better by the same company.
But I¡¯m happy for him.
10 years experience and L5 requires a lot of expertise.
60lpa AFTER 10 years?

A lot of people in the replies seem confused. If you haven't added it all up, the Google offer is 1.64 crore for the first year. Not crazy for 10 years, but still pretty good.

Yet another said how amassing such salaries and wealth is possible only in sectors like tech and banking: ¡°Tech and banking are the only 2 places where you can actually become a dollar millionaire by just sticking through...Stories of startup employees making it big are far and few but ofc that will be outside wealth vs above.¡±
