Make an outlook folder on your email system that has notes on customary forms used, certain deal flow processes, good redlines, etc. I went from lit to transactional and this is a life saver! The practice is totally different so when you get work in and you have no idea how to do it, build up that database and keyword search. I never make the same mistake twice because I’m diligent about building up my “forms/info” folder. Good luck!

Agree with A1. I also built template emails for questions I routinely get so I can just send the template rather than typing the message all over again.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
