Hi fishes,

I received an offer from big 4 with 60% hike. My managers wants to retain and I asked them to match if you want me to be retained.
Now I got a call from GPM yesterday. He used harsh words like "being greedy" "selfish" etc and offered me 30% in the end.
I politely declined but he asked me to reconsider as he said "it would be unfair for the org for you to leave so soon."

Let me know a proper response.

Also what do you think of this behavior by GPM?

Just move out. Do you want to work for an organization where the GPM has accused you of being 'greedy' Or 'selfish'.

Just say that with all due respect to Infosys, u feel this is the right opportunity for u to achieve growth in your career, both financially and professionally.

No need to burn bridges. But you aren't here to please others.

Maintain your polite stance but now you know exactly why you should be leaving :)

Yes really. I didn't know it will be like this. I am serving my whole notice period and giving my 100% in notice period as well. I've even worked on 2 weekends.I want the process of me leaving as smooth as possible as my team is really nice. My manager even said that though they'll try their best to retain me but unofficially speaking I should go as it will be better for my career.
But when such a senior person says things like this it really dips the morale.
Not sure if infy gives promotion on merits or just on experience.

To be honest think about yourself as your GPM is trying to save his a** by retaining you. Instead be kind to your GPM By referring him to your new organization may be he will get a second thought on a good hike... 😀

likefunnysmart

What matters in end is if you are getting proper compensated. When there is an offer for 60% hike, why would u even consider if staying back. As for the words of your GPM, don’t give him any attention. He is probably himself looking outside but no one is offering him this hike. All that matters to employees is their respect, pride, learning opportunities and money. If you have to compromise on one or two, leave the firm. However with any big4 there is another factor of WLB which comes into picture. Usually the WLB is bad any big4( speaking from my current experience)

Listen, WITCH like companies are all like this. I faced a similar situation recently.
I was supposed to be released from my project a while ago. Fortunately got an offer, so resigned.
Now the DM started shouting, saying he had plans for me, you did not discuss resignation with me😂
I was pushing for a release for months, at that time they said there are no plans😂

So yeah, they are like that. They do not care about you or your life, all they need is their work to be done. So let them be, and enjoy your notice period buddy. Take the chill ride, and let them burn.

I think his main motive was not to increase your package or retain you but to humiliate you.

I have noticed (is not true for all cases) sometimes people who spend a lot of years in one organization become grumpy and agitated to freshers or people switching the company.

I will advise you to be extra careful while finishing your last day requirements. Such people directly or indirectly try to take out grudges on the time of seperation.

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
