Is negotiating salary/bonus more strict in the UK than US?

Recently got offer and was hoping to get a couple more £ out of it based on experience/interview performance but was stonewalled by HR.

Market isn’t as dynamic in the U.K. as it is in the US, so much more power sits with employer at salary offer stage.

was hoping for a bit bc of inflation as well, but your point makes sense. Thank you

Yes its quite strict. But do realise there is shortage of labour as well

I have been applying for jobs for exactly one month, prolly sending over 15 applications a day, with or without referrals, not a single lead, not a single interview, not a single follow-up from any recruiter. My profile is prolly not as competitive as I thought it was, given that I moved from a foreign country to the US, but I do have some good experience and I graduated from the one of the best unis in the US. What am I doing wrong? Help!

Hello Fishes,

I had given interview
Mindtree and cleared both technical rounds. On Tuesday 29 March 2022, I got a call from HR for the final discussion. After that I have not received any response.

I have been calling the HR and her manager, both are not responding to mail or calls.

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.

In myCompetency portal, my primary skill is being displayed as X, where my primary skill is Y. When I tried to change it, it goes to my approver for approval and she's declined to approve it with reason that your interview was taken for X technology however it is not correct, my interview was taken on Y technology only.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.

How to deal here?

First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!
