This happened with me in my present company. I tried to negotiate but the HR knew i was serving my notice period so i did not have the bargaining power.

Ugh! I need to talk to recruiter. So did you put in your notice before the background checks went through?

I had put down my paper in the previous company before starting job hunt due to some reasons.

Gotcha! I hope you are happier at BNY.

Are you coming to a B4? It's common for B4 to downlevel you because they consider industry experience (including the likes of Infy, Wipro, tcs etc) as less than consulting experience.

Yeah I don’t have much hopes either. But it doesn’t hurt to ask.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment.

Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

Which of these should I choose?
