Hi guys,
need opinion
I have received an offer letter from ZS as DAC.
lets suppose they offered X amount
and I was able to negotiate and increase the offer..
now I have mail confirmation from the HR of the new compensation structure that it has been set in backend. however he is saying offer letter cant be changed..so i had to sign the old offer letter while i have mail confirmation for new compensation.
Is this okay ? will there be problem later ?

Eh. I just chalk it up as the cost of being in this role. Everyone is always looking for someone to blame or vent their frustrations to. If it's my turn, it's my turn.
Are you talking about when candidates get upset about this stuff? Unfortunately, all you can do is be honest and explain the situation. Some candidates will understand and some will decide to take their bad luck out on you.
Sympathize with the candidates. Don’t just break the news but tell them it sucks and you were excited for them to keep moving forward.
At the end of the day it’s business. You don’t need to justify why others do things that result in a freeze or shifting priorities - but you’re allowed to say I don’t know and recognize it sucks. Tell them you have them short listed for anything else that comes up and offer to provide a resume review for another job or introduce them to another recruiter who might be working on another job at your company.

This is the way. The candidate experience is rough to put it mildly. Sometimes, all they really need is for just one person, even if it's us, to acknowledge the suck.
As long as we don't throw anyone at our own companies under the bus and just stick to brief facts about the decision, we're OK.
I'm big on communication. I look to be as transparent as possible without giving up the farm or any confidential information.
I set expectations and document so I can refer back in future conversations.
Of course there's more to it but this is high level
