From Rs 6 lakh to Rs 18 lakh to Rs 0 salary: Techie shares journey from getting dream US job to becoming jobless, all in a month
In the fast-paced tech world, a young Indian full-stack developer 's story has gripped r/developersIndia, serving as both inspiration and warning. The anonymous Redditor shared a rollercoaster journey: in just one month, his salary soared from Rs 6 LPA to a promised Rs 18 LPA, only to plummet to Zero when his dream job vanished. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now What started as a dream leap into a US-based job ended has ended with a grueling job hunt. With 1.6 years of experience at an Indian startup, the developer honed skills in MERN stack, DevOps, and even Machine Learning. His big break came with a contract offer from a U.S. startup, tripling his pay. Excited, he resigned, served his notice, and prepared for the leap. But days before starting, a curt email cited 'internal restructuring' and a sudden change in business needs as the reason for revoking the offer. A new name in the company's Slack channel hinted at other motives. All in all, the dream of US job just vanished in thin air, The startup offered 15 days' pay as a gesture, but it was cold comfort. Now unemployed, the developer faces the grueling job hunt once more, his story a stark reminder of the tech industry's unpredictability. Check full text of techie's Reddit post I was a full-stack dev at an Indian startup, grinding at 6 LPA. Learned a ton, and after a lot of effort, landed a contract offer from a very early-stage US-based startup that looked like a dream – promising around 18 LPA. Everything seemed set. I put in my papers at my old job, went through all the onboarding formalities with the new US startup, and served my notice period. But just as I was ready to officially start, they hit me with the news: due to sudden internal restructuring and unforeseen changes in their needs (which I very much suspect translates to they found some other candidate as I could see a new person join their slack before I was hit with the mail but again I'm not entirely sure), they had to revoke my offer. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They did offer to pay for 15 days as a gesture, which I appreciate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm now unexpectedly unemployed. Trying to apply like a freak and getting literally no callbacks and it's been a tough pill to swallow, going from that high to this low so quickly. I have 1.6 years of experience, primarily as a full-stack developer (skills include MERN, DevOps so I can plan to deploy and monitor, worked on building MCP servers & clients, A2A workflow because of personal interest recently even though I don't know the fundamentals of Machine Learning lol but would love to learn anyways). The next company I join will be my third, and so far, my entire career has been with startups. While the learning is immense, the uncertainty has been real. I'm now considering having some stability, a place where I can contribute and grow for at least 2-3 years. That doesn't mean I'll stop grinding or upskilling; I'm always eager to learn and push myself, but a bit more predictability would be welcome. If anyone has any leads, referrals, or just some advice on navigating this, I'd be incredibly grateful. Thanks for reading.

Snitch raises $40 mn to expand men's fashion brand in India, overseas
Snitch, a rising direct-to-consumer (D2C) menswear brand in India, has secured up to $40 million in a Series B funding round aimed at accelerating its expansion plans. The round was led by Mumbai-based 360 ONE Asset, with continued support from existing investors IvyCap Ventures and SWC Global. New backers included the Ravi Modi Family Office — associated with ethnic wear giant Manyavar — as well as a group of angel investors. Founded to address the evolving fashion preferences of India's urban male consumers, Snitch has gained traction for its affordable, trend-forward apparel. The company plans to use the fresh capital to broaden its offline retail presence from more than 55 stores to over 100 by the end of 2025. It also intends to enter the quick commerce space, offering near-instant delivery of fashion items, and expand into new lifestyle and apparel categories. Additionally, Snitch is eyeing international markets, with pilot launches expected in the near future. 'Snitch has been a force redefining fashion making in India for the world. This fundraise is a backing to our belief that Indian fashion can move with speed, scale and confidence, and truly compete at a global stage,' said Siddharth Dungarwal, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Snitch. With 120 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth, more than 55 stores, and strong loyal customer base, Dungarwal said the firm is stepping into a bigger league, building a world-class brand. 'As we gear up for global expansion and entering the public markets, this marks a bold step towards creating one of India's most iconic fashion stories,' added Dungarwal. Chetan Naik, senior fund manager and strategy head for technology at 360 ONE Asset, described Snitch as one of India's fastest-growing and profitable scaled D2C brands. He noted the company's distinctive approach to fashion retail, citing its agility in tracking trends, digital-first execution, and expanding its omnichannel presence. Naik highlighted Snitch's operating model, which combines rapid design cycles, end-to-end execution, and lean manufacturing. 'Snitch has demonstrated the rare ability to deliver high growth while maintaining strong unit economics and exceptional capital efficiency,' said Naik. He added, 'Its sharp focus on men's fashion, backed by a scalable offline model, positions it well to become a category-defining brand.' Vikram Gupta, founder and managing partner at IvyCap Ventures, said the firm's reinvestment in Snitch reflects its continued confidence in the brand's execution capabilities, capital-efficient growth, and distinct positioning within the men's fashion segment. He noted that with a targeted focus on Gen Z and millennial consumers, along with a scalable omnichannel strategy, Snitch is on a strong path towards category leadership. Tuck Lye Koh, founding partner, SWC Global, said Snitch continues to demonstrate strong supply chain management as well as high focus on customer experience. He said over the last 18 months, with the offline expansion, Snitch has established itself into a truly omnichannel brand. 'We are looking forward to our continued partnership with the team to grow Snitch into a leading men's apparel brand in the country,' said Tuck Lye Koh. Founded in 2020, Snitch has emerged as a standout in India's D2C fashion market. It previously raised Rs 110 crore in its Series A round in December 2023, which laid the foundation for its offline expansion, tech stack, and product depth. Since then, it has doubled revenue, strengthened brand equity, and built a community-first approach to fashion for Gen Z and millennial men. PwC India Investment Banking team acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Snitch on the successful closure of Series B round. JSA was the legal counsel to Snitch on this transaction.
