Companies don't care about inflation, they will pay you what they think they need to, to keep you from leaving, as long as you are a productive employee. It's not about inflation, its about the competition.

Hit the nail on the head. Inflation doesn't factor into their calculus at all. They'll pay exactly what's needed to attract and retain employees, nothing more, nothing less.

I'm not sure they don't care about inflation. If operations become too expensive, they will start to cut corners, and this includes salaries. Not the CEO salary or any of the C-suite, obviously. But the rest of us.

The competition has the same problem. It's a big equation, cut a little here, cut a little there. It might be that some companies can pay a little more, because they were able to cut somewhere else.

Companies probably do care about inflation when it impact their bottom line, but you are painfully accurate — they don’t care about your bottom line and everyone is replaceable.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
