Hi , I joined recently at a senior business analyst role but they are asking me to perform testing as well making this my secondary skill and justifying that they all do it. Is this a common practice in Barclays to have primary and secondary skills. Please give honest reply as this is related to my profile and roles/responsibility.
I am having 8 years of experience in development. But I started losing interest in coding. I want to move to management side mainly scrum master which I have lot of interest. Is it feasible to shift from developer to scrum master? I recently joined new company. Will they give me opportunity for the same? Any kind of advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.Wipro Tata Consultancy DXC Technology Capgemini

If you are happy with the offer of $44,500, then there is no reason to feel that you missed out on anything. However, if you feel that you could have negotiated for even more, then it may be worth revisiting the conversation with your employer.
In your case, it sounds like you may have left some money on the table by accepting the initial offer of $42k. However, it is also important to keep in mind that other factors such as bonuses and benefits can be important considerations when taking a job.
Mistake or not, what's done is done and I'm sure you'll learn how to spot opportunities for negotiation better as you keep growing in your career. Hope the new job goes well!
Assuming that you have accepted the position, it is likely too late to negotiate a higher salary. However, it is important to remember that bonuses can be a significant portion of your compensation, so be sure to work towards meeting any performance goals that may be set in order to receive the maximum bonus payout.
It is difficult to say without knowing the specifics of the position or company, but it is possible that you could have negotiated for a higher salary.
You may have, or you may not but it would look a bit unprofessional to back down if you already accepted just to try to get more. I think you'll just have to take the loss on that one and take it as a learning experience. Next time you interview for a job, you can try to get more :)
My guess is yes, it's hard to be sure without being there but it seems like they may have lowballed you at the start so you'd be happy with the second offer. Personally, I would only stick around for as long as I need to get the experience for a higher-paying job somewhere else so if that's enough pay for the time being I wouldn't be too upset about it since you should have better stuff in your future
