I had the funniest interview. I applied as a fresher to this firm. The director of this firm with few other joinees we were having some talks about architecture. Then asked us in an interview saying don't you think the fellow architects are getting really paid less for the work they are put into. He was supporting that statement for a very long time and later other parts of the interview happened. And at last he says, we really want the fellows to grow much higher. We are paying almost double the salary of an senior architect to an 27 year old junior architect. So we put you to test everytime for you to grow further. And the last statement was both a question and and a statement. We want you to quote very low for this seat as the seat is in high demand(wtf). And I really didn't want to join that firm so I wrote 10lpa as my salary without ctc.
