Hey all - currently considering a multiple month contract role and wanted to know how much leverage there is to negotiate. I got told their max rate and that it’s firm, but it feels a little low for tech. I’m a full time ACD and was told they can do 125 hourly. They told me they may move onto someone else if I can’t do that. I’m coming from agency side so I could use some help if I’m pushing too hard.

Is this through a contracting company?

Tech companies can always do more but this one is refusing to. To the point where they’re clearly threatening to hire someone else. If you don’t want the job then say “no.”

But if you DO want the job, take it and if something else comes along that pays the $150-$175 an hour that an ACD should get, jump ship.

I was recently able to negotiate my title up for a contract position but was only able to move the hourly rate $10ish. Maybe there’s something else you’re able to negotiate if you’re on the fence about this.

Friends..
I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer
