Have you ever signed any paperwork with the recruiter? If so, they likely own your representation to offers they set you up with. Also, if you try to side step the recruiter to an opportunity they sent you, you could easily be blacklisted by that recruiters firm and possibly others.

Do I tell everyone what I did, or do I stay the course? The company itself hasn't responded to me

Copywriter 2: no I didn't. They cold called me, I've always worked lone wolf

Cool so I went with telling the recruiter what I did, hopefully they understand, and I said I'd be happy to work through them still

With the reasonable pay rate

Slap him

Hi Fishes,
May i know How much inhand salary i will be getting for 11.30 LPA IN Pwc?

Interviewer asked what my current salary / bonus is and I told them.

I got the offer and it’s exactly the same base/bonus as my current role. (Though they’ll also give me so stock options in the private company).

Can you share what is reasonable % increase to get for salary / bonus when switching jobs? I know the team really likes me.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
