Some weeks ago, Deloitte came recruiting to Indore. They were offering a modest paycheck, and I suspect many of the PROTON students flubbed the aptitude test and interviews so as not to be offered a job that they'd have to take as per the student body's own placement rules.
Today, it is clear to the same students that industry has tightened its collective belt. If a company is recruiting, it is going to try to pay as less as it can. It is a buyer's market. Those students must be regretting their actions.
This topic brought the proverb to mind, "Do not look a gift horse in the mouth".
Instantly, I thought of a saying that argues for quite the opposite approach. "Beware of strangers bearing gifts".
Most times I think of a proverb, I am reminded of another that seems to advocate the exact opposite.
"Well begun is half done". But "it is not over until the fat lady sings".
"Curiosity killed the cat". However, "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
I found a few lists of such pairs of proverbs on the Internet.
I guess life is all about balance.

True Sir, Big Brands are very clear on their terms and hence we can't discount them.
Its really a tough call for students to take right decisions at the right time. I wish everyone takes right decision in future.
