Downball?
I used to work in a early stage startup. Got selected from campus placement and they provided hefty fix pay(16 lpa) + 16 lpa ( spread across 4 years including esop and bonus) (totally fraud to come on day 0 in IIT). They now fired me. I interview at many startup and they are expecting too much from 6 months experience candidate. I am in between of offer from Deloite but they are only paying (11 lpa fix). What shall i do? According to market shall i take a downball or need to keep patience?

To send a Direct Message (DM) using the template I provided, follow these steps:
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Choose the Platform:
LinkedIn is the best platform for professional networking. If you're reaching out on Twitter, Instagram, or another platform, the process will be similar, but LinkedIn is ideal for job-related queries.
- Search for the Right Person:
LinkedIn Search: Look for employees at the company you're interested in (use the search bar). Find people who are likely to be relevant to your job interest (e.g., recruiters, hiring managers, technical leads, etc.).
If you're targeting a specific team (like an EDA team), find people in those roles.
- Personalize the Message:
When you’ve identified the right person, visit their LinkedIn profile.
Click on the Message button on their profile page to start a conversation.
- Customize the Template:
Modify the message to fit the individual’s profile and your experience. Here's how:
Replace [Recipient's Name] with the person’s name.
Replace [Your Name] with your full name.
Mention your specific degree (e.g., “I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering”).
Highlight your skills/interest in EDA.
Replace [Company Name] with the name of the company they work at.
If possible, mention something specific from their profile that caught your attention, such as a project or their role at the company.
