56k, fresh out of college. This was 3 years ago.

52k, almost 15yrs ago. It was low then and it's low now

I don't know how much I made yearly, but my first job in the industry, I was paid $30/hour which I guess comes out to somewhere around $55k.

Well, at my very first job, I worked at McDonald's in high school and I was paid $7.35/hour. I just found one of my pay stubs and laughed. The paycheck was like $200 for 40 hours.

$56K/year right after graduating in 2015. Came with relocation and a $16K sign on bonus.

First logistics job I made around 35k about 12 years ago.

Hi everyone

Is it okay to try for more offers in the notice period? I am feeling like why I am doing this but at the same time want to best offers.

And also thinking how should I convey if I didn't join the company even after negotiating and asking for a counter offer based on another offer.

Please advise and suggest.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I need genuine suggestions. I was holding offer from IBM and Wipro & now have got a good offer from a mid size organization.
I want to negotiate with IBM and Wipro & join any of these two.

Do these companies negotiate? When & how should I start negotiation with them ?

I would like to talk professionally so that they provide me a matching CTC or in case, they can't at least they don't block me for future openings.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.
