Does JPMorgan entertain counter offers ?
I have an offer of 18.5 lpa including bonus.
At the time of HR discussion, I was under the impression that this will be 18.5 fixed + bonus
I already have 19.5 fixed CTC offer from Emids and Indegene is ready to pay 23 lpa including joining Bonus.
I am keen to join JP morgan but I want to negotiate the offered CTC.
During HR discussion, HR said they'll not entertain any counter offers later on

Hello Folks,
My LWD with current organization is on 30-Sep-2022.
I have an offer with HCl and joining date is on 3-oct-2022.
I have cleared the TCS technical and managerial round and got an email to upload the documents to proceed further with HR discussion, an I have done it yesterday.
But my priority is to go with TCS, but the doubt is will TCS provide offer or joining letter before 30-Sep-2022, because only 6 days left to complete my LWD.
Any suggestions to handle this.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Too late.
Haha I guess
That's the trade-off. There can be so many days you just leave early or lax up in work, but at the end of the day, you're locked into free OT... I wouldn't swap hourly to salary without sizing up the amount of potential OT hours versus calculating 40X(hourly) + X(hourlyx1.5) first. Then pick whatever one comes in higher.
Comes in ebbs and flows. Unfortunately, 2025 is going to be a big year for companies as they adjust to the new federal government policies + the advent of a lot of new and more powerful AI based tools and resources coming out. It looks like 2026 or 2027 will be the year with some level of relaxation.
I would say that’s short term thinking. Instead of wasting your brain calories on couple hundred dollar more you would make, think of your next upward move and what can you accomplish to achieve it and get rewarded higher than both scenarios (hourly and your current salary position)

Confirm with your leader if your job is Exempt or Non-Exempt. If the job is Non-Exempt, you are eligible for overtime. Salary people can receive OT when classified as Non-Exempt. You just have to record it in the time management system.
Talk to your leader about the OT and see if they can help manage the workload. Let them know you want to be at your best, but that the workload is beginning to hurt you emotionally and physically. They likely will help find a way to help with the load.
Mentor
Can you ask to have a review of the job classification conducted? Yes.
Is it risky? Depends on your company culture. Some teams welcome the discussion whereas others see it as a challenge to authority. Only you have the insight as to which way your team might respond.
If you decide to ask for that review, be polite and start the discussion with your leader. Let them be involved in the process on your behalf. Make the case based on your responsibilities, not the hours you are working. The hours worked is not grounds for a reclassification. The duties are, however.
Mentor
Presuming that your salary falls within the market range, some jobs /managers offer a worse work-life-balance (time commitment) than others. You won't likely negotiate less hours, it's simply a matter of allowing the experience to help shape your resume and future career.
There are jobs out there that offer much more money for a 40 hour (or less) work week, that doesn't inbany way obligate your current employer to pay you more or work you less. Become the person that is a top candidate for that better job, and update your resume along the way.
Mentor
All that having been said, do make sure that your salary is reasonable for the role across the field. If it's not, then it's all the more likely that with a little more experience, you'll be able to get more money sooner rather than later.
Yep never go to salary unless you have to. They just overwork you with no overpay
