Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.
If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
Accenture Please provide your insights. This is my first switch so I ne more exposure

Any walk-in interviews in Pune? Please Help
Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

All I'm hearing is that this guy is way better at getting paid than I am.
Same!
My old boss is continuing his tour of every Pharma agency. He continually lands really plum gigs and lasts 6-9 months at most before people find out he has no idea what he’s doing. I kind of feel bad for the guy, but then remember that he’s getting those jobs over people who are actually qualified for them.
Name and shame or admit you’re enabling this.
I do have a couple of these. "Coincidentally" they're both male. 🤷
I have one counter example! A woman I worked for got fired for being sleazy AF and trying to bring in a company that she was part founder of and then leveraged into something even more senior and now teaching in B-school. She could talk circles around any man or woman I know…

These are my favorite people in the industry.
Yes. Actually hired the guy earlier in his career. Lasted 6 ugly months of pure laziness/personal social media. I will say he is the master of the right level of ambiguity on his LinkedIn profile which isn’t technically lying about his role on impressive projects, but is the equivalent of a realtor describing the “amazing views” an apartment has because the inside is like a crack den.
Several. Maybe not the worst offender but one of the most annoying is Matt Kerbel, current VP Marketing at Homie.
Small world. I think I actually booted him from my connections.
I feel like I know one from every past job. Currently work with one now.

What I want to know is how they continue to fail up when they are idiots AND assholes.
If I had a fraction of that charisma…
Failing upwards is quite a skill
Is it him?
He is you in another reality
Do they know that they don’t know what they’re doing? Or are they the perfect mix of blissfully ignorant + crazy charismatic
For the ones I know of, a little bit of everything. They know just enough to not say the wrong things, but not enough to actually do anything good. They're not always charismatic but definitely very sociable. They get the hookups because they hang out with or befriend the right people. Being "one of the bros" goes a long way.
