Any tips on contract negotiating?
They are ok with the salary I asked for (by phone). We now need to discuss in person the contract and hopefully some additional extras.

I’ll let you in on the best kept secret in advertising. Once an offer is made, the power shifts from the employer to the candidate. Especially in creative roles. Us CD’s hate recruiting. So when you finally found your person and told HR to make an offer, the last thing you want to do is go back to the drawing board. So, if the candidate counters with a reasonable amount or asks for a signing bonus, they’ll usually get it. The only reason they wouldn’t is if budget is already completely maxed. So, if they reject, don’t push it unless you’re ready to pass.

Most people are too soft to negotiate so when you do lay the law down and you’ll get what you want — plus make more than your peers

Related topic: I gave my notice (my job recently changed, I'd never made any unmet demands or anything like that) and my current place countered me with a better package. The new place seems unwilling to budge. I've seen other people successfully stay at my company, but the company has seen better days. Is it stupid to accept the counter?

This is a recent incident happened to me, was interviewed for tcs, salary discussion happened on 12th March and was told to wait for final approval and was told that offer letter would be rolled out in 2 weeks. Hr did not negotiate on the CTC either. After waiting for a month i tried reaching HR they did not respond. After multiple emails they simply say that they cannot move forward due to high deviations. Guys is this normal in TCS that even after final CTC discussions ,candidates get rejectd.
