The job posting quickly gained traction online, attracting nearly 3.3 lakh views. Though the netizens were divided, with one side applauding the skills-based selection, while others questioned if the salary was sufficient.
Commenting on the post, a user wrote, “This sounds like a great opportunity for budding engineers. I hope you find the right talent to join your team!”
“Amazingggg! This is how future recruitments will take place,” another added.
A user posted, “Everybody wants a cracked engineer. I’m not cracked but surely can help your company grow. Plus, I have a college degree and 2+ years experience.”
“It’s not even decent, half attractive package. ‘Cracked’, ‘full-stack’, and ‘5 days at office’ deserve much more than 25L fixed and a bunch of promises,” a person wrote.
“Indiranagar is such an expensive place that out of ₹15 lakh where in hand will be ₹1 lakh approximately, ₹35,000 will go just in accommodation in a sharing apartment, plus groceries, plus weekends, plus education loan EMI or discretionary spending EMI. Feel yourself lucky if you can save ₹20,000,” another commented.
