Yes absolutely assuming you did not accept the initial offer letter salary. Even then it’s still fair game to some extent.

Same question actually. I gave a range for total compensation that I intended to give for base (not including bonus). Curious as to how to negotiate base up now, if offer comes

Give a solid business case and you can neg anything

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)
