New offer. Confused.
My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133.
I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter).
This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached.
I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response.
Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Test was subjective and questions were asked from basic analog, digital design, VHDL and VLSI circuits.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 technical interviews each around 25 minutes. They asked me about my summer internship and
questions from microcontroller architecture and its interfacing. Then they asked me the questions
from those problems which I didn't attempt in the written test.
Tips: For electrical students, it might be a bit challenging. I took an elective on Microcontroller in 7th sem which
helped me a lot during the interview. You might want to brush up your concepts of 8085, digital, OPAMPs
and analog
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My family background and my future goals were asked. They asked me about
my internship project and wanted to know what I learnt during the internship. Then I asked a few questions
from them about the company work culture and growth opportunities

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked me about my thesis and some device related questions as my thesis was on modelling of device. Questions were basic and were related to variation of device parameters with environmental factors and other parameters. Apart from that, several questions related to basic digital circuits were also asked concerning flip flops, latches, setup time and hold time. The technical interview went on for approximately 1 hour.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR round lasted for about 5 mins only. The HR person asked me whether I were interested in going for PhD or not and about my hobbies and interests. Overall, the interviewers are very friendly and asked basic questions only.
Tips: Prepare your CV well, have a good CPI, do your thesis sincerely, concentrate on your basics and you will stand a very good chance of getting selected.
General Tips: Do the courses thoroughly, make good course projects and start preparing for the placement session at least 1 month early.
Don’t ever mention to them that you are interested in higher studies even if you are applying. In case you don’t get a job at your targeted company, don’t lose hope and move on to the next one.
Concentrate on your preparation and the things that are of utmost importance, don’t get bogged down by pressure. Be optimistic and cheerful, because confidence really helps during interviews.
Final Tips :
1. Be confident and enthusiastic in your response to questions because you have to make them understand that you are interested in the profile.
2. Chalk out a plan to strengthen your strong points and address the weak ones.

(2 Questions)
- Q1. IV characterstics of CMOS inverter
- Ans.
IV characteristics of CMOS inverter show the relationship between input voltage and output current.
CMOS inverter has two transistors - NMOS and PMOS connected in series.
For low input voltage, NMOS is ON and PMOS is OFF, resulting in low output voltage.
For high input voltage, NMOS is OFF and PMOS is ON, resulting in high output voltage.
The transition between low and high output voltage occurs at the threshold voltage.

- Q2. Set up and hold time explain
- Ans.
Set up time and hold time are timing requirements in digital circuits to ensure proper operation.
Set up time is the minimum time before the clock edge that the input signal must be stable.
Hold time is the minimum time after the clock edge that the input signal must be maintained stable.
Violating set up time can lead to incorrect data being latched.
Violating hold time can lead to metastability issues.
Examples: In a flip...
