Got a call from the recruiter about an opportunity with a product company saying it's a permanent role. After a round of interview which was pretty easy they said I was selected, but on a few conditions. These were the major red flags. I had to acknowledge to an email which read that I'll join the company and if not I agree to be blacklisted and pay a fine of 1lakh. This was really strange and mind you, this was before I even got the offer letter. After enquiring more about it they revealed more details about the job upon which I got to know it's a C2H opportunity to which they denied and told me I'll definitely be converted to permanent in a few months. Even reached out to me on multiple occasions trying to convince me to accept it. Had to turn down the offer. The whole process seemed really shady.
