Hi everyone,

I was laid off after 3 years as a backend eng. Took time to upskill, built full-stack projects, started applying Dec 2025. Got multiple calls

I've cleared technical rounds for some startups but get rejectd after HR salary discustn. When I follow up, they say "interview wasn't strong."

Previous CTC: ₹19.5L | Expected: ₹22-24L

Qstn:
1. Is ₹22-24L too high for 3 yrs exp?
2. Should I lower to ₹18-20L?
3. Any red flags in my approach?

It's been a year. Appreciate honest feedback.

Hello, anyone looking for a mid-level AD in NYC?

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
