Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?
Is EY GDS providing any joining bonus ?
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.

How to negotiate & renegotiate offer?
Comp A - got the first offer
Comp B - got the offer by showing offer A
Comp C - got the offer by showing offer B
Now want to join Comp B. So which route would be optimum for negotiation again -
C -> A -> B OR C --> B

I think the initial offer carries the expectation that you're going to negotiate a decent amount. You can always come back and reference your seven years of experience and whatever credentials you have in order to move the needle.

That’s fair. I understand initial offers often assume negotiation. My concern is the gap between the posted midpoint and the actual offer given my seven years of relevant experience. I plan to revisit it with a case tied to scope and market data. In your experience, do employers usually move meaningfully in situations like this?

Did the recruiter you worked with talk about compensation expectation with you prior to you interviewing and talk about what you were targeting? If not, shame on them. There is something to be said about companies that low ball in my opinion.

Compensation expectations did come up early in the process, and I shared a range aligned with the posted band. That’s part of why the final number caught me off guard. I understand companies need to manage budgets and internal leveling, but alignment upfront is important for both sides.
From your perspective, do you see this more as a leveling decision internally, or a negotiation strategy to test flexibility?
7 years of relevant experience as it relates to the role you're applying for? If not, then it don't matter. If yes, then definitely renegotiate. Their published range is just that, a range. If they offered at the low end of the range, I'm sure there's a reason. It may not match your expectations but it's a starting point. Good luck.
