Just received the offer letter with 24months service - Need help
So Iam a fresher 2026 passedout , just received my offer letter for Trainee software Engineer role 6 months will be a training period.
It states that I need to work not lessthan 24months, """offer of appointment is subject to your solemn agreement that, you would serve the company for not less than 24 months from the date of joining. You will agree that, in case of breach of this condition, the Gross salary payable for the unfulfilled period of the committed service shall be recoverable, without prejudice to any other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement signed at the time joining."""
What does this mean, What if I break the bond?
So I need to pay so much that is months*my gross salary, If I leave before 24months!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do I have got this after so many rejections ofcourse, but Iam worried what if I get a good offer from a better company..(Iam not sure btw) at the same time I feel so lowballed for the package they are offering (3.25). Iam very confused... Some HRs please give some suggestions to negotiate, I don't think they will negotiate this is another lala company. I want to join some software role but I don't know whether to take this or not...
Any suggestions or help please reply....
