Code Like a Pro, Get Paid Like One: Bengaluru Company Offers Rs 40 Lakh Without the Formalities

Smallest AI, a startup company in Bengaluru, has created a buzz in the tech world with an unconventional mode of recruitment. Sudarshan Kamath, the founder, is advertising a "cracked full-stack engineer" role for a Rs 40 lakh a year salary, without set requirements such as degrees and resumes. All it asks for is a 100-word intro and links to the best work done. The offer, which went viral on social media, has fueled controversy over the worth of skill-based learning vs. formal education in the technology sector. While some applaud the emphasis on ability, others are skeptical about whether the pay actually justifies the "cracked" engineer title in Bengaluru's competitive environment.
