TAL's take
High-level individual contributor role at a major bank with a broad, complex scope, though the tech stack is very heavy.
The JD is extremely verbose, mixing architectural, development, testing, and management duties, suggesting a very broad and poorly defined role.

There is a finance upskilling platform which is run by Kushal Lodha and the session is about “How to negotiate a 2 crore salary” and two kids very casually negotiating 2 crore salary Kid 1: ….my company has only 1.25 crore max bandwidth Kid 2: …….given the arsenal of portfolio that I will be managing for your company…. I cant begin to comprehend the list of things wrong with this. Log itne bhi kaise c ban sakte hain bhai!
