Hello everyone,
I have been offered a role of DAA at ZS. I'll be completing 1 year of exp on 15 July 2025, and my date of joining will be around end of June, and hence they are still considering me as a fresher. I tried pushing too hard, max they agreed is base of 9 and CTC of 12. Also, in my college back in 2022, freshers used to get a CTC of 13.65. My current CTC is 9.8 an base is around 8. Please guide me here, I literally have 0 idea rn. ~TIA

Going for a 1LPA increment is just not worth it (monetary wise). ZS has fked up wlb as well. But if your current company is no better and you're moving here for the kind of work that ZS does (or the tech stack that would be involved), you might as well take a gamble.

In your college freshers used to get ctc of 13.45 from ZS in 2022?? That doesn't seem right. Also ZS does not consider your previous work experience at associate level. I think you are getting a fair deal, if you want you can join or else reject the offer.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?
