A recent viral post on social media has ignited a heated discussion about hiring ethics after a recruiter revoked a backend developer's job offer worth ₹40 lakh per annum (approximately $48,000 USD) just before the candidate was set to join. Initially, the candidate, Krishan Kumar, was earning ₹21 lakh and received an offer of ₹28 lakh, which he accepted. However, after securing another offer of ₹32 lakh, he requested a revised package, leading the company to increase their offer to ₹40 lakh. Despite this, the recruiter claimed the offer was rescinded on the candidate's last working day, opting instead to hire someone else at ₹18 lakh.
