CapGemini said they are ready to give me an offer. I initially quoted them $115k-$130k and they basically asked for my best number at time of offer. I told them I had more interviews coming up, but I would accept $130k or more on the spot, and give up my other interviews. They said they would get back to me - is this normal practice? I anticipated a number from them, and I counter that?

For Context: Salesforce Consultant with 4 YOE (2.5 industry, 1.5 consulting) NY and currently a Consultant

Not surprised the recruiter has to get back with you. He needs to run it by the Salesforce practice lead since 130K is probably on the high end for the role.

Cap is a half step above Wipro/CTS/Infy. Cave venditor.

I’d hold out and go somewhere with better brand & exit ops. You’re going to even more of a body shop with lower career growth opportunities. I used to be at wipro and had to fight tooth and nail to even get a D interview.

Never give a lower range bc that just invites them to give you the lower number

Good for you OP

$130K is without a doubt above the normal pay bracket for a Salesforce consultant with 4 YOE. They’ll offer back somewhere lower or just outright abandon.

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
