I hear you op. Considering all that crap you used to know, how easily could you pass the same interviews that got you in? It's like retaking your driver's license written exam. Sure you passed it before, but do you remember every nuance?

like

Go do research like on Glassdoor.com about the company read the interview comments and posts. Google your ques. Read about the company you'll be interviewing with. Prep for questions like case study examples, what's your value to bring to their table and why leave your current post. Also prep for asking them well thought ques.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

Without looking, I was recently offered a role at another company for about 30% more salary and 10x the amount of stock options, but I have only been at my current employer for less than a year and feel really guilty about leaving so soon into my tenure. My current employer might match salary, but there's no chance the options get matched.

I'm wondering if I should take the new position, even after less than a year at my company? I can't shake my guilt even though it seems like a no-brainer.
