I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

My experience is it’s really hard to get more once you’re in the role and 10% is a considerable amount to try and catch up to. My approach has been to show why it’s not enough I.e. one time the offer was the same as my current pay and the benefits were’t as good. Another time I had two other offers on the table that were higher. Both times that helped with getting a slight uplift, although I probably could have pushed for more.

Congrats for the offer! I totally get the hesitation, but I think negotiating is expected, and it won’t hurt your relationship if you approach it the right way. I’d express excitement for the role, highlight my value, and ask if there’s room to adjust. Worst case, they say no but at least you tried!
