A product marketing specialist who resigned 49 days ago received a 60% salary hike offer from their employer just 11 days before their last working day. The employee, who claims to have increased the company's annual recurring revenue from ₹1 crore to ₹4.5 crore within a year, is considering whether to accept the raise or wait for the outcome of a final interview with another company.
