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.

I’m a Senior BSA/AML/Fraud Analyst at a regional bank, 100% remote, have bachelor’s degree in business, 6 YOE in my field, TC is about $60k, & I live in KY. I've been thinking about moving from working at banks to a fintech because I feel like that’s the only way to increase my TC. I feel like I've been severely underpaid for the type of work I do even with the education, experience, etc; however, cost of living is extremely low in KY. Any advice?
