Viral Job Offer Sparks Debate on Tech Salaries

A job offer for a software developer in Bengaluru went viral on social media.

The offer included a high salary of Rs 25 lakh per year, plus extra benefits like ESOPs worth Rs 20 lakh, daily Zomato credits, and a work-from-home setup allowance.

The total compensation for the first year is around Rs 35 lakh.

Many people on social media discussed how this offer shows a problem in the tech industry.

Some said it's unfair that new employees get better pay than those who have worked longer.

Others advised employees to look for better opportunities if they feel undervalued.
