Off Topic-
After graduating I am in home since 5 months , and today got a offer with 1.5 year bond 2.4 LPA package and java developer role in small bootstrap company of only 15 employees, not even giving laptop.

So should I join the company or wait more and get better offers from better companies.
Considering the current recession scenario in mind.
Please suggest.

I started with 2.4 LPA in Capgemini

6 years later in getting 28 LPA

like

Update - My salary got bumped to 44 LPA last month

Patience is the key

wait. give interview in wipro, infy, tcs, don't join below these.

My thoughts would be don't join where there is any bond

like

I would say any offer is good than no offer. But a bond of 1.5 years ?? That's shady. Also 2.4L seems to be less as well.
Keep on applying for companies

If you don't have any other offer you can take it. Startups are great for learning. I know a person who started from 3LPA in one startup as a data engineer now his salary is 10LPA after 2.5 years.

like

Can you please mention how much they are asking you to pay in case you leave before 1.5yrs?
I am assuming it is work from home option.
If it is around 50k then I would suggest you can give it a try and if you don't like it leave it after few months. Anyway you will get monthly around 16-17k atleast and in 3months you will earn 50k plus some real time experience and learnings.

Also as per law they can charge you only the amount they spend on your Learning not anything above that.

1lakh is too much I guess. You can take the call based on your current financial situation. Meanwhile you can search for other opportunities as well.

like

I started with 7500 per month in june 2014 today 1 lakh per month

like

Join the company for now & learn whatever you can. In the meantime try to find other offers. Some experience is better than siting idle with no experience.

like

Join

Join the organisation and start looking after 1 year 2 month and make a switch once 1.5 year bond complete

It always better to progress with something in industry rather than just searching and if near future when options are going to open

During this 1 year 2 month prepare on technical, how to present yourself and on communication

Good luck

I started with 6500 on jan 2012
Now it’s close to 80 + stocks

Join n learn something

I started at 1.8L and after 10yrs its 44L

Pls tell ur tech stack , it will help other to chose career

Since you got a job offer it should increase your confidence start searching for other companies where you don’t have bond

dont

I was in similar position in 2020. Took the job with bond, after 2 months, joined another company with better pay as a fresher only and absconded the previous company. Even though they were offering laptop, I didn't take it and worked with my own laptop because I had in my mind of absconding as soon as I get a better pay, so it's good that you won't have any of their asset. About the bond thing, don't worry about it. Bonded work is not legal. They might try to scare you but ignore them. Only thing they'll do is not providing you with experience/relieving letter but you don't need it because you'll be joining the other company as a fresher. All the best

Just start with it. Later you will realise that such places make you strong and great coder in the industry.

Even I started at 2.4 lpa in 2018 now I make half that amount per month. Join the company focus on up skilling yourself & switch. Ironically recession does not affect hardworking people!
