Currently I have offers from 2 companies (say A and B), A is paying more but I want to join B (B is paying less but better brand). Planning to ask B to match salary that A offers. Have 2 doubts:
1) Does companies actually verifies the pay that the competition is offering? (Dont want to ruin my offer with A if B doesn't match the salary)
2) Will it impact my job prospects at A if it gets to know I tried to match their offer from a competition?
Pls help, TIA

Many firms don't view it favourably when you renegotiate an offer after agreeing to it unless it's from your existing firm. So it all depends on how much you like firm b over a. Typically I would consider renegotiating only if your preferred firm is giving you x and you want the second choice firm to give x+y to make it favourable for you. If you go to your preferred firm then be prepared to accept your second choice if they refuse to renegotiate.

Share the compensation details only.
In most of the cases the HRs want to compare the fixed and variable components, in order to roll out an offer which suits both , the company as well as the candidate.

How young are you?
If you are around 25-28, go for B.
You'll grow better when you've your heart there and a better brand never hurts.

If you're over 30, a lot of factors chime in- family, loans, etc etc.
If yes, then consider otherwise B is what I say.

Hey, All I can say is 1 is definitely true, they’ll ask your offer letter if at all they want to keep talking to you since HR’s also need approval from risk and finance it seems. Also, this is not looked upon as a good practice. I am a victim myself. They called it “haggling” during the negotiation call which made me feel super bad.

Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
