Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctc: 13 lpa
Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa.
After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).
Queries:
1. Is this normal or rare case, reducing the offer amount from what quoted initially?
2. Should I accept or negotiate?
I don't have any other offer as of now.

You can always setup expectations upfront on how many interviews you can withstand. If the number is not up to the your standards, you should decline it and move on to the company that can offer your desired amount. That way you won’t waste your time. In this case, you can back off right now.
Gimmie all of them at once and then decide. IDK why companies stretch things out, it just adds work.
It's like getting a house inspection, except you need to schedule 6 different inspectors doing different things at different times rather than scheduling them all at once. Tons of overhead and headaches on both sides.
Worse case you bomb everything, and you burn some people's time, but hey the initial screen can be done first and the rest all at once.
It's work on both sides. I've been on the side of it and it wastes everyone's time. Three interviews should be more than enough.
You should check out Chime. Very reasonable hiring process 🤝. I was shocked at how smooth it was
My limit is three interview stages: an HR interview, a technical interview, and a final interview with the hiring manager.
I’m not willing to go through three separate technical interviews. In fact, one of the best jobs I’ve had only required a take-home assignment. After reviewing my submission, the company extended an offer, and I met with HR after I had already accepted it.
What could they possibly need to know that they can’t figure out in three interviews? Any more than three is disrespectful, a waste of time and shouldn’t even be considered. I know the market is tough, but if we don’t push back on these kinds of things we’ll continue to get taken advantage of and disregarded.
