QA Salary at BMO
Hi folks,
I've got an offer from Netcracker recently.
Based on the salary discussion, HR released the offer with 2Lakh less as promised and now telling me over and over again that they will revice it near the joining date and this is the process they follow for every candidate so that they don't go and shop in the market.Do you think I should trust them as they haven't given me anything in written but keeps on promising me over phone calls that closer to my joining date they will revise the offer.

It rarely is possible. If the employer has a group health plan, it is typically governed by a Plan Document with rules governing the plan to ensure all employees are treated fairly and consistently. Allowing negotiated health benefits would place the plan in jeopardy of losing their tax exemption status, which means instead of paying for benefits with President-tax money…everyone would have to e to first pay taxes THEN pay for their benefits.
Can you negotiate for better benefits? Sure, you can always try.
Will you be successful? Probably not if the ask is going to place the Group Plan at risk.

*edit…Pre-Tax money. Silly autocorrect…

Usually the benefits you can negotiate are tenure-based in my experience. Something like vacation time or vesting periods
This is the unique problem of US healthcare…you must accept your employer’s plan. Non negotiable.
