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

Yeah I agree, I would go for a market rate/'my value in the team' approach
How did you find out? I’d hate to tell my coworker then get thrown under the bus

This. Never mention someone’s else’s name when trying to get higher comp. “oh Jimmy is making 5k more and I want his salary”
I think you should direct this attention towards getting yourself promoted.
You only get so many annoyance points with your boss and your organization - spend them on something worthwhile.
Agreed a 3% raise is a waste of face time. If you can get your bosses ear express your want for step up opportunities and want to get to the next level. Will probably get a soft supervisor role over your coworker and your comp will reflect that within a year or so. And if it doesn’t then you can annoy your boss about comp (cause you can justify it), or shop around and use your new supervisor skillset to jump to higher titles and pay.
Think of it as: if you complain about 3% this year, you can’t complain next year… so be sure you’re positioning for the big promotion and raise instead of the 3%.
Do they have more overall experience than you? Higher clearance? Different certs?
Sadly just the nature of the hiring process, external hires later do tend to get higher. I don’t think it hurts to ask but also be prepared to get a feedback that “market rate was higher when they got hired”
I asked for 2 years to be bumped up to meet my peers every single cycle and even talked to partners in my practice with no luck. I was a campus hire and somehow got lower than the people who started at the same time as me. Over ~3 years my performance brought me ahead of the folks I was trying to catch up to so it worked out in the end. Still salty though.
