I received an offer from PayPal India for the Data Architect role in Grade 27. The compensation offered is ;

₹80 lakh base, plus 80 lakh RSU (3-year vest) and ₹16 lakh variable

Is this a good offer considering my level of experience for the grade? Has anyone provided feedback on the work-life balance, as I've heard a lot about restructuring stuff and layoffs? thanks in advance.

Pls share your guidance/experience

Help me choose New Regime or Old Regime for my salary revision

I gave an interview in a company.  Technical round went very well and i some how managed to sneak into the final score which was 4.3/5. Hence i reached the HR round where i declared my expected salary to be 20 lacs. I was offered 17.5 Lacs in the end.(My current CTC is 12.7 Lacs). I denied the offer at the moment in clear words as my present job is in my hometown and I expect 20 LPA to move out of my home town. This interview was held in November . Yesterday in February i received a mail from the company telling me to go for pre employment medical checkup. An HR executive called and explained me medical procedure. I asked her about the final offer and she told me she will get back to me. I called her again after two days and she still told me that she will ask her seniors and get back to me. Now after 5 days of mail I am confused if I should call again or go for medical or still wait.

Day to Day Office

I’ve finally found a great manager. I used to think all managers were the same...demanding, controlling, and hard to please. But then I switched jobs and met my current boss. She actually listens to us, respects our time..no calls after 7 pm, and encourages mental health days when needed. Last week, she surprised the team with personalized thank you notes for our hard work on a project. It was a small gesture but made a big difference in morale. Honestly, working here feels like a breath of fresh air after years of toxic environments.
