Coupang hiring Indians

Has anyone been approached by Coupang for Product or Engineering roles? They’re relocating folks to Seoul and recently started a satellite office in India.

Context: Coupang is the Amazon of Korea

It is not worth it. Very high work pressure in a country where you don't know the language . Savings are lesser than India or sams. Most Indians leave in a few months or max 1 year . Based on experience of few colleagues who joined . Best option is to stay in India and get a role with similar pay

Pay is materially higher though. I’m >1CR in Bangalore and they’re tripling it and paying rent for the house/education for kids.

I am concerned about the workload, yes, but if you can survive a few years, it feels like a fast pass to a nest egg, no?

Is it unbearable?

Guess, you should make a decision based on your circumstances. I am t a stage in life where 3X pay won't make much difference and I would be ok with X pay and WLB. In the last gig I had 3X pay than previous but horrid WLB and missed my kids growing up. All the Best

Know anyone who has joined personally? Is it worth shifting to Seoul for them?

How long does it generally take Coupang to give offer letter post selection in final round
