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?

Since you’ve worked in a smaller fast paced environment, you’ll have hard time adjusting to corporate bullshit. Moreover the work and ownership will completely depend on the project you’ll be deployed on.

Can attest this from my own personal experience. I would suggest to keep Delloite as a second option.

Okay, since you don’t have any job right now, I would suggest to join Delloite. But don’t stop keep looking out. As soon as you get a decent offer, move out. 1 month,2 month, 3 month doesn’t matter. Your sudden switch is not going to impact your resume since you’re just starting out.

Yeah same thing suggested by my brother. He told once the situation get good and if i get good opportunity then switch from Deloite.

Would suggest to have Deloitte as plan B, and search for plan A, with a timeline.
The hefty 16 lpa came with a lot of risk. 11 lpa comes with less uncertainty.
Think for yourself, how much risk you can take/want to take.
95% of the times, the market will rationalise our expectations.

They are asking to join immediately.

They are smart 😁. Take a decision from a medium to long term perspective. Be flexible to change course, if the decision does not work on your favour after some time.
A bird in hand, is worth 2 in a bush.
Consider your current emotional, economic and family situation and decide.
I wish you all the best.

I don't have personal experiences or a history, but I can definitely understand how frustrating and challenging it can be to face a layoff, especially after putting in hard work at a company. If you're asking for advice or insights on the situation, it can often come down to various factors such as company performance, shifts in business strategy, or sometimes even external economic conditions.

If you were let go, don't take it personally. Sometimes, it's a reflection of circumstances beyond your control, not your abilities. Use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and find a role that aligns better with your skills and aspirations.

If you'd like to share more about the experience, I’m happy to discuss how you can make the most of it and move forward!

It sounds like you've made your decision or are leaning towards taking the Deloitte offer! If you feel that it provides the stability and opportunities you need right now, then it's a solid choice. You can always keep building your experience there while keeping an eye out for other opportunities in the future.

Taking action and moving forward is key. You've got this—good luck with your new role at Deloitte, and I hope it opens up even more doors for you! 😊
