Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctc: 13 lpa
Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa.
After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).
Queries:
1. Is this normal or rare case, reducing the offer amount from what quoted initially?
2. Should I accept or negotiate?
I don't have any other offer as of now.

Just got to keep applying. Should be plenty of entry level positions considering the exodus of 1st years.
If you really wanna know if you enjoy accounting, staying in audit is definitely not the solution. Many seniors I know went to industry and told me audit has nothing to do with accounting jobs they’re doing now. You can try out 1 year as staff accountant and if that’s really something you dislike, it’s never too late to change careers while you’re young and have time.
Saying is you should be running to something not from something. To find the fit best for you ya need to know what you want. Likely you haven't even done real accounting work yet. Just copy paste and roll forward PY.
Big4 and CPA guearnees you more options when you jump. Otherwise you're just relying on luck that you get the right industry jump.
My take is to keep trying. You may feel bad now but you may feel worse 10 years from now if you realize you jumped to early with no goal and just flounder between month end accounting jobs
Otherwise take the Big4 experience now or move to another firm and actually plan out your pivot from accounting. Thise first three years are to make you into a professional which helps in your future if you want to pivot.
