Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

Novartis has gone a bit squeezed in terms of pay and incentives, however work life balance and culture would be on par with any other 30% offered package.
If your primary motive is to bump the salary then You can explore more and see if you can crack high paying orgs.
If you’re looking for culture and WLB then rethink about Novartis.
