Recently joined Wellsfargo as Lead Software Engineer. Can’t negotiate offer due to layoffs. I accepted an offer that is lower than market average.
YOE: 11 years
Base: $185k
Bonus: 22%
Location: SF Bay Area

Is that a question?
Ok
@ab That's supposed to be 185k divided by the cost of an Indian dev.
You're going to eventually be replaced by 185k/ Indi/ans.
If you have nothing else and desperately need the money, take the job, but I'd say continue looking and interviewing.
If you can move out of a bloated cost of living State and keep that job, then it might be more tenable.
That seems low for HCOL for a Lead SWE, I agree.
Totally understand rough job market conditions, but in about 3 months you'll be doing the needful for your Indian boss, massively regretting taking the lowball offer, and questioning why you decided to join such a trash company. guaranteed
185k in the bay area is like 50k in flyover
Congrats though!!
