Techie Rejects Rs 47 Lakh Job Offer After Acing Interview: ‘Not Ready To Deliver’

Mumbai, March 21: A techie has stirred a debate online after he aced the interview process before rejecting the job offer, saying he did not have the required skills that the job expected of him. In an X (formerly Twitter) post, engineering manager Vanesh Mali stated that he recently received a Rs 47 lakh per annum job offer in Pune for a senior role, which he eventually declined.

“I recently got a fantastic job offer of Rs. 47 LPA in Pune for a senior role. The package was good and the company was great, but the position demanded skills I don’t fully possess yet,” wrote Mali. Mali said he “politely rejected the offer” and explained to the recruiters that he was not ready to deliver at the level right now that was required of him.

Quizzed by a social media user about how he managed to clear the interview if he did not have the requisite skills, Mali said he was asked relatively basic questions. “They asked basic questions about it. But considering roles and responsibilities and pay range, we need to deliver more. I was in a bit of a dilemma this time. I just wanted to take risk. I might have made a mistake, but I had to take decision,” he said.
