Ask for an interim request list and fulfill it within the next two weeks. Don't give valuations a week before issuance. Be kind to your auditors, they don't want to bother you more than necessary and are (probably) way understaffed

Make sure they give you complete request lists with reasonable turnaround times.

Hello all,
I have got an offer from Mastercard at 18.7 lpa as senior database engineer @ level 7.
Is this a fair ask for my position.

Should a remote job’s salary be based on where I live or the company? For instance, I’m interviewing with a SF company for a role that has the ability to be remote (I live in portland). They gave me the “portland range” when talking about salary. What if I later on decide I no longer went to be remote but come into the office and be in SF area. What’s the typical approach with salary for jobs that can be remote?
