They shall start with "We have a beautiful variable pay system! 8% and 5 %! 5% you shall get monthly if billable, etc etc"

Don't fall in this Variable trap! Negotiate for the fixed component.
They shall strongly say NO, not possible, it won't get approved, etc. But stick to it!

As per my experience, any kind of amount hr will accept but recruiter will reject it later on if the amount is beyond their budget. HR discussion is just for formality. Actual CTC will decide by recruiter. For 7yrs of experience they was ready to give 26 LPA including variable
