Hello Fishes,
I left capegemini on 4th of Feb and I still haven't got my relieving letter as well as experience letter. I'm trying to access my capegemini portal from webvpn.capgemini.com but I'm not able to access that either. Please suggest me what should be done, my next employer is asking for relieving letter.
Found on LinkedIn. Nice kicks.

Are they calling to offices?

You can try to negotiate level/tenure credit eg coming in as a C2 vs C1 or SA vs A.
You can try to negotiate signing bonus.
You cannot negotiate comp package for a given level ie the C1 package is the C1 package, no variation.
Negotiating level is a double edged sword. Sure you get a bit more comp for C2 vs C1, but expectations will be higher, runway will be shorter, and it will be a bit harder to get staffed.
Mostly, the range in which you can negotiate is pretty small and probably doesn’t matter given how steep the compensation trajectory is. Comp doubles after 2 years (from u/g entry level) and doubles 2 more times in 8 years after that (so 100-200-400-800, over first 10 years).
Pay at given level. If I had known level I would have for sure negotiated. They bring in everyone below where they should be in terms of level because ‘it’s McKinsey’. I went from a director level with multiple reports and my own book to an associate which was in no way made clear to me. It was tough. Definitely negotiate your level in addition to comp to be sure you’re comfortable moving. That all being said I still don’t regret joining...
No negotiation.
I negotiated as an experienced hire.
mck1. You negotiated level or pay at the given level?
