I received an offer from a quant fund. My offer letter doesn’t explicitly state my role/position, it is nyc based, and that it’s full time. It also doesn’t provide benefits breakdown, just a blanket statement that I’m eligible. I’ve spoken to the recruiter about these items, but general response is that this is standard for the company. To me this is all very strange and I feel it should be defined more. Does this sound normal to others? Can’t tell if i should push on this more or leave it.

There's no reason once you have an offer that any pertinent information should be withheld.

I’ve been provided the clarity verbally, but it’s not in the written offer. From prior offers, these are normal items that were included in writing so I’m trying to gage whether the lack of details is indeed acceptable

Mine stated “analyst” and my comp and that I was eligible for benefits as well I believe

like

Thanks. Mine says I’ve been offered a position at the company. It then goes into comp structure. And then blanket statement on benefits. It’s only when I inquired about eligibility and timing- is prorated versus available on day 1,- did the recruiter provide this information

My YoE is 2 y 1 mo. Worked on Firmware Dev and Linux Device Driver Dev. Have good knowledge on OS Internals.
I've attended 2 TRs at Qualcomm and then HR called to say that I'm qualified and sent me a set of HR questions over mail to answer. I'm not sure how much CTC should I expect. My current CTC is 3.3 + 0.3 LPA.
Please note that I only did polytechnic/diploma and currently pursuing BCA online. Does not having a BTech lead me to lower CTC?

What ever I'm expecting is as per market standards n expecting 50℅ hike as fixed component. How should I get this done? I checked with other employees and my expected figure is completely normal.
