Google
has offered a whopping Rs 2 crore per annum pay offer to Abhishek Pant, a
student of Computer Science program at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT),
Kharagpur. The pay offer is said to be the highest from Google and has broken
all the placement records so far.
According to Times of India, Earlier
this year, Abhishek Pant had done a three-month internship at Google California
and successfully faced rigorous round of interviews before being appointed into
the design solutions cell of the Google. Abhishek has tremendous academic
records. He topped in the CBSE Std X exams with 97.6% marks.
Pant was
born and brought up in the US before his family shifted to Pune in 2006. His
parents were worried that how Pant would adjust himself in the extremely
different education system when they moved to Pune. But Pant kept himself
focused on studies and bagged a desirable job.
“The journey from Pune to
Kharagpur and Kharagpur to Google Mount View in California has been quite
exciting. I had a great experience working there as an intern. A job offer is
the icing on the cake,” Pant told to TOI.
Pant
cleared two rounds of technical interviews over the phone for the internship.
At the end of the internship, Pant was offered the job, for which he had to go
through another set of interviews. He will join the Google in September next
year.
Recently,
Chetan Kakkar, a student of Delhi Technology University bagged a job offer of
$1,90,000 (Rs 1.25 crore approx) per annum from Google. Indian students are
showing their potentials and getting better rewards for it too.
Interestingly,
a query on popular question and answer website Quora asks how Chetan Kakkar
managed to negotiate a salary of $1,90,000?
Here’s the answer by another Google intern Ashish Kedia:
“I just read a news article
about Chetan Kakkar’s hiring. I don’t know if he is on Quora.
I can
certainly say with confidence that there was no negotiations. Do not believe
media. The $190K package probably includes the sign on bonus, the relocation
bonus and the some other allowances also. It is not the basic pay.
The media
just bloats up the package without revealing the detail. And this is why
engineering is often hyped. I totally urge all the people who actually got such
offers to clear out the vagueness of the compensation that is being offered to
them. Either keep it a secret or give full details.”
Acknowledging
the answer, Chetan Kakkar replied:
“Ashish Kedia is correct,
there were no negotiations. My package is probably exactly the same as everyone
else who got an offer from Google Mountain View.
You can
confirm that last year NSIT quoted similar figures.”
