Should I join Kotak Mahindra Bank as SDE 2 ?
Hi guys, I joined Epam 8 months back as Senior Software Engineer and working for amazon client. But now got offer from Kotak mahindra bank as SDE 2 but hike is only 10%. So should I join kotak or not and what about culture and work in kotak. #engineering #software #swe #epam #amazon #sde #sde2 #kotak #kotakmahindrabank

Bro what's your experience level? And what's your salary range, asking this because you might already be getting a high salary according to the current market or they are low balling you.
Can't give any piece of suggestions unless these things are clear.
Yes, you can. A lot of folks from Byjus went there and are doing good.
Yes. Kotak was the first bank to penetrate mobile banking at scale with 811 and cater to young people.
Why join an Indian bank? Banks still think of software engineering as IT role. Its non-core to them. Better go to fintechs
congrats on the job offer!, may i know your interview experience please?
Dont join
Their 3rd party recruiter is piece of shit trying to lowball the hell
I had a competing offer of 22 still they wanted to pay ke 17-18
Yup
I have seen they hired from Amazon, Phonepe and other big companies.
They must have given them better hike 😏
I would suggest you consider the offer, in banks the job security is more. I swear the interest rates are not going to be cut down anytime soon or it will come back to 0 percent interest again lots of uncertainty. So layoffs will continue and get worse if you want stability consider it
Quick Question:
Can you please share your interview experience with the Kotak Mahindra Bank?
Also which division they're giving you an offer:
Kotak Mahindra Bank
Kotak 811
Kotak Cherry
Ideally they should give you the SDE-3 role not the SDE-2 role. Try to negotiate and get the SDE-3 role. assuming you're a 2019 graduate. If you join them as SDE-2 it will take a while like 2+ years to become SDE-3. Also think from where you're currently in life and then take the decision. Feel free to DM. I did had Kotak 811 and Kotak 🍒 offer's few months back decided to some fun tech startup instead the Kotak.
I have been trying to secure an interview for an SDET profile with them but no reply. Care to suggest how I should go about it.

Did you apply on careers or referrals? anything else?
I have applied to EPAM now for senior software engineer. I would like to know how much EPAM gives and what the notice period is. How is the work culture in EPAM ? I have never worked in a service based company before.
Interesting. The recruiter was asking me to join immediately when they themselves have 60 days lol.
Do they track attendance or amount of time logged in ?

If you don't want to work in EPAM then you can think of going to kotak, else wait for better offer.
I gave an interview last week with them, but haven't heard back. Can I know when you gave?
Yes , quite a few seniors of my college just left Amazon for Kotak 811 so I assume it is some good
