HI All,
I have a round 2 Scheduled for LTI.
1. R1 - Technical - last week
2. R2 - Scheduled later this week - Is it again a Technical Round ? Or is it Techno Managerial one?
3. HR Discussion : Currently they are saying they will fit based on my interview and skills, no specific project or location mentioned yet.
Any idea if this is happening for all..?

My advice:
Calculate the indifference curve by selecting a 2 year, 3 year, and 4 year payback period.
Do this by taking the NPV of the opportunity, which is equal to what you would consider your retention bonus total.
Take the retention bonus total and calculate it as a % of your base.
Now here is the tricky part:
Most retention bonuses are 2 years. So your 2 year calc = your 2 year retention bonus. But you have 3 years and 4 years calculated anyway, if the time horizon up for negotiation also changes.
However using the 2 year as an example: your 3 and 4 year becomes what you should shape your initial position on. I.e. instead of landing at 2 years, go in at somewhere between 3 and 4. Work from there.
From the perspective of your negotiating opposition, they will always remove a risk % from 3 or 4 years, reducing the original number you calculated (the1st numbers you came up with), because as time horizons extend naturally the risk to them forces the figure downwards.
Hope this helps as a basic starting economic model for wage negotiations
Great. Thanks a lot! Very helpful
