Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?

It depends if you are OK with 28L as fixed. Does it provide you with a good enough hike on your current fixed component? If yes, then you should accept it and evaluate other options. If you get a better one, good, reject this. If not, then at least you had one offer in hand.

It’s a cheap tactic that HR’s throwing at you. In later stage, incase you are to get a better offer they will reconsider the original offer without having to extend the original budget of 30LPA.

like

Okay!

Try renegotiating again.

Normally HRs do try to offer a bit lower as agreed to save some cost(they also have some KRAs to achieve or atleast show)

Be adamant on your point (professionally and don't sound rude) , I have seen this many a times and lastly they agree to it

like

Actually, I am good with the original offer. If they are ready to give that then I will really not look for other options

Some times recruiters want to squeeze the offer, its all about who has the leverage in negotiations.

If you have the email of your hiring manager or any of interviewers, You can tell the recruiter as this was not discussed I will contact the hiring manager informing about the situation as this might lead to a point where you MIGHT have to reject offer so you would like to keem them informed,

and then see the magic.


If you dont have contact with hiring managers, then recruiter has leverage and it all comes down to other offer you have. If you dont have other offers and company is good, pay is fine, variation is a bit less than original offer anyway you will again switch mostly under 5 years. So take the offer, or propose 3L joining and say I will accept right away if its 3L, that way all will be happy

in 3L joining bonus, 2.1L be received only. 90k taxes.

Service company or product company? Either way, it's shitty but starts your notice period clock.


Option 1- Start job shopping the hell out of the market if you are confident that you want to leave your current employer.

Option 2- talk to your current employer that you have an interesting offer from the market (portray like the opportunity came to you) and they are offering the 'original offer' but you like it here so you wanted to check with them that can they do something about your comp. Keep the HR hanging to gauge their reaction.

Option 3- if you want to move away and feel the market is not having enough opportunities, accept the reality (but keep trying).

P.S.- don't shy away from splurging on Naukri premium, linkedin premium etc. During your notice period. A bump on 2-3 lakhs alone will negate the expenses. Also, salesforce talent is still high in demand if I understand correctly.

Op-I have tried to renegotiate on agreed deal and it backfired big time. HR will renegotiate only to counter other offer.Points to consider to arrive at a decision.
1)How many year(s) will it take for you to reach the offered ctc in your current org?
2)Does new employer pay variable in full with default rating?
3)Joining bonus usually comes with a 1 year bond in IT service industry.Will you be able to maintain peace of your mind for an year if you join them.
4)Offers generally become more generous during last 15-30 days of your notice

I also faced same
In my case , HR shared the structure also and then said that they didn’t got the approval.
1. If you are ok with 28L, Go for it
2. Also loo for other options till joining date
3. One thing you can do , Try to negotiate for joining bonus , Instead you can say for converting it to ctc .

Take it and do offer shopping. Always remember 2L not going to make much difference. If you think the offered CTC is more than 50% of your current CTC it is always good.
