CTC check: quant role
i'm a '23 cse grad - offered 60LPA (fixed) + variable (up to 3x of base) as a quant researcher.
this offer is strictly "off-campus" (i come from a tier-3 college) and is a result of me switching careers.
am i high-balled? low-balled?
note: i used to make 30-40LPA as a freelance writer in college before this.

Nailed it!
You have been proposed literally a poverty wage. I'm sorry to hear that bro. I think WITCH is hiring for the same role at a better bracket.
GrapeVine admin needs to put some filter on such repetitive “CTC Check” posts here. Every day some random 60 LPA earning guy comes and posts asking if the CTC is too low!! 🤷♂️

haha, i agree with that - and i'm well aware that i'm making more than the average WITCH guy.
my question is if this number is high or low for a *quant role*.
i do not have alumni/seniors to ask this (tier 3 college).
Ok, but posts like these are exactly like the LinkedIn cringe that this app is supposed to avoid and makes it’s selling point. If everybody earning 50 lakhs starts putting posts here daily, that will be same as the LinkedIn HR cringy posts, where HR attaches their beautiful photograph, along with a long content post on managerial/philosophical issue, inviting discussion on the soulful topic, and readers go wow wow, in the comments section. Anyway, to each his own. Hope GrapeVine folks really looks at this aspect.

the opportunity came through a referral from one of my content contracts.
i already had a decent cs + math background (RMO finalist), and was a hobbyist fundamentals and charts trader during COVID (took $3k to ~$75k).
only had one round of interview, brushed up on math and went on the call, got the offer 👍
you slithered and slipped your way through the cracks in society. well done
