No hike like last year ?!
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.

I’d keep the current job tbh. 130K LCOL you can save a lot of money and live a decent life
Passed on the offer. Told them I’d move for 160 base + 15k sign on and they weren’t willing to do that. Oh well. Thanks all!
You tryna refer someone who’s willing to take that offer 👀👀👀
Decide if you want to stick around at this plateau with excellent WLB (would be my choice, 130 in LCOL would be good enough for me) or keep moving up with a lot more work
Yeah I'd stay where you're at
Id stay for that WLB
Think about this from another perspective. Would you sell your added time (15h/week + travel) for $10k + bonus of $20k (usually at risk)?
Everyone has different expectations on comp. The economics here don’t look very appealing considering the type of work though.
Is travel a good thing or bad thing in your eyes? Are your remote otherwise? Might be nice to have all the miles + hotel points and get 25-50% of your meals paid for. How is PTO at both roles? Might help with the increased workload
I'd stay. Job stability is key right now
