I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Chennai)
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me over the phone and asked if I was interested for the role of IC since I am an Engineering Manager at present. I was absolutely fine since the role was purely technical and something I wanted to pursue. After 2 technical rounds of an hour each and 2 managerial rounds of 45mins each, there was an HR round where the HR was hell-bent on establishing his point that I am new to the domain. I asked a nominal 25% raise from the current CTC. After this, the HR, someone who was talking normally, just replied "will get back to you" and ended the meeting without a proper thank-you. The next day the recruiter reached out and gave the numbers which were lesser than my current pay.
Note: The expected CTC was well under the market standards by at least 15%.
Declining the offer politely is the best thing I could do.
