How do we understand job / salary levels

I have 2 options, either to take a 40% pay cut or leave the company (get laid off), what should I do? Would taking that high pay cut will lead to negative impact for my next employer? How does companies/hr takes this while hiring?

What is the salary offered by paypal for 9 years of experience in frontend developer ?

I have given interviews and cleared them. I got a call from HR asking for payslips and another offer details. They said they will get back with offer. How to go about here? If they come with a lower offer than what i asked, how much liberty i have to ask further. Does HR will come with 2-3 various levels of offer and then try to negotiate with me. Any help or insights would be helpful in how HR comes with offer details. My interviews were pretty good and i think they like me.

Paypal has a really good work culture and work life balance. I'm currently working on state of the art products, so even the work is very good. Leadership has some problems but overall I think it's good. But the only problem I see is less pay compared to the market average, which is kinda frustrating.

I was checking some reviews about Paypal on line and found so many addressing the job security as a important concern in PayPal stating that they follow hire & fire policy. Is it the situation in real? What is your opinion on PayPal in all aspects like work life balance, career growth, job security especially on PayPal Chennai.

I'm finding it difficult to understand the situation. A friend, who is a BI developer, was laid off by PayPal, and on the same day, my wife received a call from them for the same role. Next: The hiring manager is pressuring her to complete all interview rounds (4) within 2 days, even making remarks about her inability and calling her unprofessional and showing lack of interest for not completing assignments on weekdays.

Hey all, I am a 2024 graduate student and looking forward to joining PayPal. I have good internship experience and development and DSA skills. I have got to know that PayPal will start its hiring process from the Sept end. I really want to join PayPal and would love to get the referral/recommendation to the recruiter. I know who the recruiter is. Also please tell me how to best prepare for it and ace the interview. Thank you very much!

I'm currently working in the payments team as Software Engineer and I'm having a hard time with my work-life balance. I'm working around 12+ hours a day and sometimes they expect on weekends too. I'm looking for a team that has a better work-life balance in PayPal India. If you are working in the teams with better WLB as SE, please DM me the team details so that I can switch internally, I'm open to any suggestions.

What kinds of salary increments are expected during an APR (with/without promotion) if one’s base salary is 18LPA? I want to gather a general understanding of how increments work in big tech companies and unicorn startups.
