There is a program called ATLAS in Amazon India where L2, L3 associates from non tech and other departments can become a software development engineer through an entrance test followed by 10 month training. Is it still open. Or is there any similar program through which I can become a SDE from L2 associate ?

Anyone hiring for Salesforce roles?
I'd be cautious about doing that. Companies have been known to rescind offers if they feel that someone is playing games with them. No idea if that could happen in your situation, but it's something to consider. And even if it doesn't lead to total disaster, it's worth considering if you'd be getting off on the wrong foot with people at the new gig.
I think if it’s simple matter of OP enthusiastically verbally accepting when broken the news and then thinking into the offer upon reviewing it, then they shouldn’t feel threatened. It was a misstep, but nothing worth rescinding the offer over (unless it’s a shit company).
But yea, if OP repeatedly accepted and then did a 180, or keeps renegotiating, or, like you said, playing games, then they should be more cautious.
How did you agree? Did the recruiter say “your salary will be X” and you said “Ok great no concerns I accept”?
You could say “thanks for the offer, I’m very excited to join the team - upon reviewing the terms further, I would like to discuss adjusting my yearly compensation to $xx given I bring highly relevant skills in X, Y and Z. Let me know if you could help me get to this number, and then I’ll be happy to accept right away”
But overall, never accept verbally. Say you’ll review and get back to them.
I think it’s a bad move. You can always do it but in this market it’s risky.
Agree. And since you already accepted verbally, your negotiation power has dwindled.
