Hello Guys,
I Got one Offer from Fynd but that is too low for me and as per my expereince
They are giving me 9 LPA bcz I quoted that amount when I applied for it long back. at that time I didnt know more about how salary and all calculated and whats the market research
Now after clearing all the rounds when we meet for salary discussion i told him my real desired salary as per experience and market reseach
He told me that I quoted 9 LPA so we can not do more "unless you have any counter offer"

Choose the people not the salary
Take your first job for the experience, the second job for the money and your third job for both.
Yes. It didn't work well. But the next company offered a raise and worked great. Short term bad, long term good
Choose the salary and the title. Make it work for a few years and move on. Always level up.
More money also means freedom. I was pretty much living paycheck to paycheck before this job and couldnt afford to quit. But now I have enough money stashed away that if I snapped and quit, I could float on a year or two and do whatever I want unemployed. You sacrifice some creativity for a few years, but find yourself with a lot of free time and new options later.
I was at a good agency but stuck on a bad client and was being underpaid with no hope of a raise. So I left to a less creative agency for a 50% raise. Stayed for 2 years then was able to get back on track. Agree with everyone who says it’s shitty short term but can work out long term
I chose more $$$ and I'm doin just fine. Miss the better work but meh, life is comfortable.
I had the same experience as VP1. Guess it's all about forward planning and having a long game
Same question to you, Elephant- the job you switched to didn’t work out, but another one after it did?
R/GA- that’s kind of what I think will happen. Trying to decide how much I’d miss what I currently have here. Obviously will also give my current job a chance to adjust my salary before leaving, but not holding my breath.
They didn't give me a raise after I joined, they gave me salary and title to join. Then I found a place I fit better that matched title and raised salary. I'd never have been in the running for that ideal job had I not jumped to the less ideal one
VP- you’re saying you ditched a good job for more money, things turned out crappy, but then they gave you another raise and all was ok? Or you went to another place after the first move?
Seems like great people in both places, but one is a much smaller office.
Yes it didn’t work well but it did help me get to the salary I want to be at and I’m much happier now with the work!
I took a title down for more money. Then went elsewhere for even more money and back to title I used to have before going one down.
Would never recommend money over right fit, ever. You gotta look for both to be at least 70% of ideal (nothing is ever perfect nor can it be anyway). It's possible to find both if you persevere and hustle and stay the course. The above for me took a rocky two years to settle
It’s reassuring to see I’m not the only one who made a deal with the devil. Moved for money, miss my old job, but know that it’s the right move to position myself for long term success (I.e., being paid fairly at the next job that I hope to love)
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. What good is the job I like if they can’t compensate me at market value.
I recently almost made this mistake and glad I sat right.
