Скачать или смотреть Why I had to reject a 10.5 lpa SDE job offer in Bangalore as a fresher

Recently, I cracked an interview for a ₹10.5 LPA role in Bangalore. As a 2025 fresher, this was the "dream number." Everyone told me I was crazy to even think about rejecting it, especially since my backup was a ~5 LPA offer.

But when I sat down to calculate the real "In-Hand" salary, the Bangalore cost of living, and read the fine print about the 2.5-year bond, the dream started to look like a trap.

In this video, I break down exactly why I said NO to the money. I talk about the interview process, the math behind Bangalore vs. Home (Delhi), and why I value freedom over a slightly higher bank balance.

If you are a fresher confused between a high package with a bond vs. a lower package with freedom, this video is for you.

About Me: I am a recent CS graduate (2025 batch) from Delhi. I talk about coding, tech careers, and my journey in software development.
