I'm not sure if this belongs here as the offer was reneged by company after agreeing verbally. But anyway posting it so others are benefitted.

Education : B.Tech in computer science (Tier 3)
Year of Experience : 8+ YOE
Prior Experience : ex WITCH, currently in a leading Investment Bank, Hyderabad, India
Date of offer : December 2021
Company : NatWest Group/RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland)
Title/Level : Software Engineer - B7
Location : Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
Salary : 50,000 GBP
Relocation/Signing Bonus : 0
Stock Bonus : 0
Annual Bonus : 0%
Hotel: 1 month accomodation, free breakfast in hotel
Visa charges - Company will take care
Flight Tickets - 0 Pound - I have to pay from my own pocket.
Other benefit : 10% pension
Total : (50K + 5K) ~ 55K GBP
Current CTC : about ~ 32L INR (1L INR = 1,00,000 INR) (about 32K GP)

I asked for 55K, they started with 43K and came to 50K. We both agreed verbally for 50K as base. I then asked HM on that same call to give a sign on bonus, they said no. I asked at least give me 1 way economy flight ticket, they said no and rudely said "I am speaking from a position of power. I have 5 candidates pending, if you say no. If you don't like it, walk away". I was shocked with this rudeness and got numbed. I mean who says things like I have 5 candidates and all. But I anyway said I accept this.
Then HM closed the call and recruiter calls back after 5 mins and says suddenly, "this req is now no longer open and is closed by HR, so you are not selected", and I got a rejection letter.

Stay away from this company. Anyway the salary they offered is s^^t for my YOE. Anyway I dodged a bullet here, cannot imagine working with that HM. And this was a terrible lowball, given the current market.
