Jasveer Singh, co-founder and CEO of Knot Dating in Gurugram, India, recently shared a hiring experience that has sparked widespread discussion online. Singh had finalized a backend developer's position with an initial salary offer of ₹28 lakh per annum, a 33% increase from the candidate's previous earnings of ₹21 lakh per annum. However, just two days before the candidate's start date, he emailed Singh requesting a salary of ₹36 lakh after receiving another job offer of ₹32 lakh. Singh expressed his disappointment, stating that while negotiating salary is common, asking for more after accepting an offer is unprofessional, especially since the company had halted interviews with other candidates during the waiting period. The post has divided opinions on social media, with some users supporting the candidate's pursuit of a better salary, arguing that job seekers should prioritize their financial well-being. This incident underscores the ongoing challenges and expectations in the hiring process.
