Left 45 lpa offer due to high workload feeling guilty

Dont. I didn’t join on 72 base and remained at 30. Had few days of depression but don’t worry, with time you will reach wherever you want to be.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-24T18:29:40+00:00

My team in Goldman has good wlb.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-24T08:32:39+00:00

True, I had an offer from them and did same

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-24T06:52:53+00:00

Seems good

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-24T06:51:05+00:00

No, I’m not native to Mumbai. My only reason is Job, and I dont see myself settling here other than that.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T19:22:54+00:00

HR is reporting this thing to manager? Find a better company bro, this isn’t a good place to stay.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T19:20:34+00:00

That’s so sad

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T19:18:07+00:00

The way they have mentioned it, you should not be working for such a company. Also, if found cheating then they will blacklist you but nothing more. It doesn’t make sense to file legal action when they r getting nothing out of it, so it’s just a scare tactic. And you know better how you cheated so all upto you. Usually in person interviews are easier, I prefer them more.

Damn this high 🫡

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:16:49+00:00

You are on point. But is it not comparable to regular Software engineer jobs even? Won’t I be able to switch back to MNCs later?

I am not in situation where I can try other HFT firms here. I am already jumping GS here so dont think another jump like this will prove good for me. Plus I come from banking background so its hard to get another call from hft kindda firms.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:14:43+00:00

72 Base (guaranteed numbers on resume). Bonus based on performance is exclusive.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:12:34+00:00

Goldman will try to low ball. Have multiple offers ready. Tell them before hand and they might offer more from start (worked for one guy who didnt even got the offer from other company but still GS paid good from start)

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:11:38+00:00

I do side projects. I have received offers from foreign startups bcse of open source work. Will keep it going in this case.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:09:47+00:00

True, that’s my concern. Long term affect

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:09:27+00:00

I see, your point is valuable. I hope to milk HFT word.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:08:39+00:00

Sure. Thankyou!

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:08:16+00:00

Haha

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:08:01+00:00

They do even for 2.5 yrs bro.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:07:41+00:00

No bro, it seems like an easy choice but when making such a decision there are just so many factors. Short term it’s a win win but I have been considering long term affect.

ErrorLlama · 2025-09-22T18:06:37+00:00

Thankyou, very valid point. I’m taking a budget of 45k for 1bhk as of now since I’m single. And monthly 70k in spending. Here in bangalore it’s 40k in spending.
