‘Rs 25 Lakh, 600 Zomato Credits & New Phone Every 3 Years’: This Bengaluru Job Offer Is For A Fresher
Securing a stable, well-paying job is becoming increasingly difficult, and concerns about career security are only growing. Amid this uncertainty, one job posting has captured widespread attention online. A screenshot shared on social media shows a software developer role offering compensation that many fresh graduates can only dream of.
The post highlights an SDE 1 position in Bengaluru with a staggering annual salary of Rs 25 lakh. That's not all, the offer reportedly includes company stock, performance-based incentives, as well as joining and relocation bonuses, pushing the total first-year package to nearly Rs 35 lakh.
People were even more shocked by the extra benefits. The company reportedly offers gym support, reimbursements for phone and internet bills, a work-from-home setup allowance, a new phone every three years, and daily food credits.
By sharing the post, the user also highlighted a glaring issue in the tech job market. While many companies continue to lay off employees, others are offering exceptionally high pay to fresh hires with minimal experience. The situation appears both puzzling and unfair, especially for experienced employees within the same organisations who often earn significantly less.
Job Offer That Shocked The Internet
The post shared on X (Formerly Twitter) came with the caption, “At one side, layoffs are happening and other side, companies are offering such high salaries for 1 year of experience. And the fun part is that the same company would be paying less to 5-8yrs experience employee already working with them. Salary structure is completely broken in tech."
A Detailed Look At The Compensation
The screenshot details a software developer role at the SDE 1 level, aimed at candidates with just one year of experience. Based in Bengaluru, the position offers a base salary of Rs 25 lakh per annum, inclusive of provident fund and gratuity.
In addition, the company is offering stock grants worth Rs 20 lakh, vested equally over four years, along with a performance-based bonus. The compensation package also includes Rs 2 lakh in relocation support and a Rs 3 lakh signing bonus.
When salary, bonuses and stock value are combined, the total first-year compensation comes close to Rs 35 lakh. The role further includes an array of including Rs 21,000 for home office setup, a new phone every three years, and daily Zomato credits worth Rs 600.

How Did The Internet React?
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “This hurts because people who stayed loyal and grew with the company feel invisible. New hires get market rates, old employees get annual hikes."
Another shared, “Take it from me – been in tech for 20yrs – 85% of people do not want to upgrade but always worry about losing their job. I was in the same boat 12 years back before I took a 6-month break to join a product company, and my perspective on career changed."
“Simply means that don't be naive and consider yourself loyal to a company. Just go where you are appreciated more," a comment read.
An individual stated, “This is true for most multinational companies. If you are selected through the internal hiring process, you typically receive only the standard hike (mostly 10%) upon promotion. But if they hire externally, they often offer exorbitant hikes."
Another mentioned, “Looks like people with no marriage and kids are paid higher."

One more added, “This is roughly 25k USD, and honestly, it is less. The same SDE1 in the US of equal quality would cost 150k USD minimum. The stocks would be 3x higher at least. Salary structure isn't broken, honestly, the talent in India is as good or sometimes even better than the US."
The individual who shared the screenshot did not disclose the company's name. However, many online speculated that the offer may have come from Zomato, the food delivery platform led by Deepinder Goyal.
