Lowballing check
I got laid off in Jan. I was a senior product analyst at a well known startup. YoE ~4 Pay was 18L + 2L variable + ESOP After months of search I landed an offer at another smaller startup which raised Series B in sept-22 They are offering me 16+2 + ESOP after looking at my payslip and I have no other offer in hand citing economic conditions. How do I go about it? I have 1 other interview going on and few with final round results pending, but uncertain if those will get offered.

Do not join that package will dragged you to 1 year back so instead of you should spend one more month also try negotiating with 16+2 offer or tell them i am very close to offer which is 20 may be they will run away with counter offer
Hope you have sufficient money to survive and Do you have loan?
Is it that Gold investment startup?
No. Pretty small one. B2B kind
Accept the offer but keep giving interviews. Don't stop interviewing. You never know when you hit jackpot.
Then wipe them off from your resume. Your 4 months career break can become of 6 months. It might sound morally wrong, but that's how industry works. They are also doing wrong by exploiting you of your situation.
Just joined the company it's very hard to get a job during these times and it might even worst if you don't get any other offers after this.
Friend was in a similar situation. What worked was when she took names of the other startups saying she has ongoing interviews at xyz, and they were ready to offer X amount. They matched that.
Negotiate atleast at your previous one
