APM offer @ Airtel Payments: 22LPA

Didn't mean to mock - but in 2018, I used to get paid 23LPA as a SPM in Bangalore at a Series B funded high-growth startup. Crazy to see how the ecosystem has grown in the last few years

Current base is 15.5 + 1 L (end of year bonus) + 5 L ESOPs

ESOPs 5lacs vested in how many years?

I mentioned to the HR to consider my ESOPs so she offered 23 + 1 on call and then said compensation committee did not approve because on non-tier 1, non-tech bg and back to 22 l

Out perform your tier-1 peers and demand the 2L as extra bonus.
Step 1 is important.
Then if they refuse, quit.

You'll learn a lot, and hopefully earn equally well.

I’d be moving from Mumbai to Gurgaon ahaha

Have your heard anything about the culture, etc? Moving from a start up to a bigger company for the first time so want to be a bit careful

Hi, I unfortunately had to decline cause of some personal issues at the time. The interview process was smooth - the VPs and managers were extremely warm and candid. Kept in touch throughout, they’re open to answering questions, etc. Hope this helps! :)

I didn’t ask a fixed amount but a range of increase I’m looking for, which was 35-40%
