Do you actually get wooed by out-of-the-box ideas for how candidates submit their portfolios, or does it just feel like a desperate attempt? I'd love to hear of an example of a creative way a candidate has tried to get your attention, that actually worked out for them.

Usually it feels like a desperate attempt. However, there have been times I have been impressed. In this job market, you can't blame anyone for trying.

Increasing CTCs in india is the single greatest hindrance from becoming a 5trillion economy. Opportunity cost to leave the job and start something of your own is widening. Further are these salaries even sustainable. Revenue of companies hasn't kept pace with compensation increase in india and it's a bubble which is soon going to burst. I'd think twice before accepting the offer in excess of 50% hike
