I'm a Senior QA in TW with 7 years of experience. My current salary is 14 LPA, which is way too low compared to the market. I now have an offer from Elsevier for 21.5 LPA fixed + 20% variable. Is this a fair deal? I still feel it's on the lower side, and I’d like to understand how Elsevier typically pays. I also have other interviews in the final rounds, and my notice period ends in a week and joining date is approaching.

First American Financial Corporation I have attended two rounds of interview in First American Finan Company last week and have received an email that I have been selected in their interview process. The talent acquisition team did not send me an offer letter instead have sent me a BGC form which I submitted yesterday.

Can anyone tell me if they faced this situation?TIA
