7 yrs Exp | Current: ₹24L (10% Var) | Notice: 4 Days

The Situation: Got one offer from Deloitte USI Senior Consultant role. Hybrid BA/PM work.

HR refuses to negotiate beyond a CTC match. No other offers.

My Dilemma:

1. Is a 0% hike at senior consultant level common for PMs?
2. Brand value vs. 2 years of pay stagnation?
3. Risky to decline and hunt for ₹30L+ while unemployed?

Advice needed: Should I take this safety net or keep looking for 20-40% hike and better opportunities?

With no pay rise, you will need to work for 10 hrs a day with tight deadlines.. How much NP is left and are you getting any calls ? Deloitte HRs are becoming too unprofessional these days..

Yeah that’s what my concern is :( 4 days are left, I’m getting few calls but nothing concrete yet. What to do?

Make no sense to switch job for 0% hike
Which company you are working now?
Market is not very good but if your skill is demand sure you ll get. In this market also many people above 20 CCTC getting min 30% hike. Asses your skill and keep giving interview

I work at c5i and had to leave current job due to relocation issues. And had no offer when put papers. I’m a seasoned product manager - 7.2 years of work experience. Let’s see where I land up. Thanks for your suggestions!

Take Deloitte offer, keep searching for better opportunities once you get it. Resign from Deloitte.

Thanks for the suggestion, but again I have worked in 4 different companies in 7 years. Again a switch from 5th company in short period wouldn’t look good on my profile. Any thoughts?

like

Get extend the offer till Feb end. You can search other better reasonable offers. Bcz once you joined any new organization next 2 to 3 years you don't get any salary hike.

Sure thank you!!

...

Short answer: you will do just great with whatever decisions u make.

fact is that YOU are facing this in realtime and its YOU who suffer or benefit out of this situation, more thoughts/comments only brings more confusion and chaos, soo.. Just sit and think for yourself whats best for you and your future.
In my past i knew i had very little experience and huge competition for my role but i quit anyway, without any offers in hand and I was unemployed for couple weeks and it was scary, i just accepted the first offer i got and i am very thankful for that.

But its never enough when u start to compare
I still regret sometimes that i should have not settled for less when compared to others earning more then me.

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
