Ask for more but just to negotiate higher. Don’t ask for more specifically for a secret clearance because your inexperience will show big time.

This is the right answer.

No.

Yes, at least when I took my offer from EY.

Definitely ask for it 👍👍👍

I got 3k extra during negotiation bc I asked for more since I have a secret

We should get 15k for Poly if a secret gets 3k lol … jeez I didn’t know a secret was worth much.

Lmao

Is anyone else finding it difficult to get a raise this year because of market conditions?

Hi Fishes, I cleared technical and MCQ round at Accenture. And got a mail stating i have been selected for HR round. Later the same day a hr called and asked me to upload all documents and asked my expected CTC and stuff. Earlier in portal it was showing interviewing , now it shows review or pending and has a message ' we regret to inform that you experience does not align with req, we will contact if anything comes up' , what does this mean. How can they put something like this?
