Looks like FDD is recruiting overall. Likely means M&A activity is up (or maybe just loads of attrition). Assuming the former, what’s driving increased activity?

YOE: 4 yrs 9 months
Tech: ReactJS, JavaScript etc.

Haven't put down the paper yet (notice period will be 2 months)

What can the expected CTC for a 5 YOE? I want good WLB and growth in a product based company.

Preferred location: Bengaluru (India)
