I’ve been quoted 105-110K base with 2 YOE plus relocation and performance bonus at some consulting firms. Startup I like in a HCL city offered me ~85K base with not a lot of equity (which isn’t much more than my current comp). Is it cool to bring this up during negotiations?

Hello Fishes..
I am currently in Wipro having CTC as 7.8 LPA..

The HR is telling that the basic is fixed as per policy and they cannot change it. The base pay is less but there are several other components which are higher. Should I take up the new offer? Please help. New Job location is Mumbai.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
