Hello guys,
Today I had salary negotiation with Capgemini , they are offering 15 lpa with 10% variable. I feel this is a bit low based on current market standards. I asked for 20 initially, but they are not willing to go beyond 15 without any counter offer. HR flat out rejected 20 saying business will not approve. what is the max they will give after providing counter offer? And if i join around November, when will i be eligible for next appraisal? They are offering c1 band.

At T2 you can definitely negotiate within the band (firm dependant) as a lateral hire and a sign on
MBB is usually fixed except the sign on bonus as per my knowledge
Depends on the firm. There are sub-levels (like number of years at level) that allow for some flexibility, but the real negotiation is what level to come in at (e.g., 3rd year manager vs first year manager if you can't negotiate a higher title).
MBB is fixed. What is more flexible is the time to promotion, for which you’ll need to show that you can go up a level faster than is traditionally expected.
Outside of that, no negotiations, no. Not for consulting at least, perhaps for business functions.

Fixed. Unclear whether base as a lateral hire is negotiable. Perform well and you get promoted early - then arguing over an extra 1-2k on your annual AC salary will seem petty when you get that uplift in a month on the new C salary.
