If you really want the job, tell them your rock-bottom number, whatever that is, and hope they give it to you. If you're ready to walk away if you don't get what you originally asked for, go back to them asking for $5k more than your initial number.

They'll either call it off right there, or say, "Wait, you originally asked for $X."

At which point you say, "Correct. I'm giving you room to negotiate me down to what I originally asked for."

Well, how much do you want the job? Is there $20k worth of opportunity there?

If you haven’t locked down on the final offer this is your moment to negotiate and ask for more.

You go back and tell them you would like $X per our initial discussion.

I haven’t locked down the final offer yet. Super surprised it’s this low though

I was low balled $20k like that. Compromised at 10k, but they knew I'd walk away. Wish I had. Never really got over the low ball and it was an indicator of how shitty working for them would be. Red flag.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
