Which is better to join @capgemini or @BNY?
I had an interview with IBM for band 8 , completed salary discussion with HR and Bgv forms.HR was told yesterday that I will be getting offer letter today but when I check with HR today she was saying g that the position is on hold and let me know after a week.
May I know whether I will get offer letter by next week.
What will be the in-hand for this offer?

You don’t. You use it as fuel. Next time comp comes up, you walk in with receipts and fire in your belly.

This. But they’ll probably brush it off
They likely did two things. Of course proved value that they could make more elsewhere and their value at your company is worth retaining. But more important at some point they advocated for themselves verbally to management. Likely in advance said I’m worth X and need this to stay or brought a counter offer.
Working hard and performing silently without advocating for yourself will very rarely be rewarded beyond receiving good performance reviews and moderate comp increases. You have to advocate for yourself verbally. And back it up with performance.
They probably had another offer on the table. Or their role is a complete pain to backfill. Or they just advocated for themselves and got rewarded for it. Whatever the case may be, it's no reflection on you or your value.

That’s typically when I see this. Plus if OP isn’t as good as AP then clearly there is nothing to retain.
Ask them what they did and copy that for next year.

Probably we’re going to quit and got money waived in their face

See their work ethic and what they did. Did they try to overachieve in their role or maybe got another job offer?

That’s when you walk in a slap it on the table. Or just start applying for jobs on the clock lol
Use it to spark a discussion with your manager and ask what you need to do to get a similar bonus.
