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.

Increasing CTCs in india is the single greatest hindrance from becoming a 5trillion economy. Opportunity cost to leave the job and start something of your own is widening. Further are these salaries even sustainable. Revenue of companies hasn't kept pace with compensation increase in india and it's a bubble which is soon going to burst. I'd think twice before accepting the offer in excess of 50% hike

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
