I wasn’t fired, but I was put on a PIP, and then resigned mid way through it. The project I was on wasn’t a good fit for me and I was dealing with some personal issues that affected my work output and quality. To explain why I left the company, Can I just say in interviews that my contract/project I was on at my fed contracting company was affected by DOGE and that’s why I left? Or is an employer going to try to verify that/will it come back to bite me?

The only thing potential employers can do is verify you worked at that company; just say the previous employer wasn’t aligned with your career growth goals and leave it at that.

so you are asking if you can lie to a prospective employer and get away with it?

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?

Interviewer asked what my current salary / bonus is and I told them.

I got the offer and it’s exactly the same base/bonus as my current role. (Though they’ll also give me so stock options in the private company).

Can you share what is reasonable % increase to get for salary / bonus when switching jobs? I know the team really likes me.
