Hi Sharks, I am asked to sign the offer letter. It's kind of an agreement between me and the company for accepting the offer and compensation numbers. Of course It doesn't have statments like I have to join the company on signing this. My question is that 1. If I get a better offer can I go and ask them to revise the offer? 2. Can I decide not to join the company? Will there be any legal consequences? Have you ever been asked to sign the offer? Boeing Tata Consultancy Wipro Capgemini Cognizant

I think that as an individual, you are in charge of your career, so don’t expect others to do that for you. I have to say though, your partner could have been more transparent with you and let you know they were going to ask for a raise. But again, once more, you are responsible for your career, raises, promotions, etc. If you don’t ask for them by yourself, don’t expect others to do that for you because, as they should be, they are taking care of their own professional path.
What do you mean by “strength in numbers”? If your partner chose to go ahead and negotiate separately, sounds like they think either they deserve more, or that they could get more by negotiating individually themselves rather than together with you…
Good point CD1. They've clearly expressed the fact that they don't want to climb the ladder due to personal reasons & had no interest in doing so, but if their mind changed I'd always support that choice. I do feel cut as we've been working together for 4-5 years now, and I was the one that secured this job for us through my personal contacts.
Sounds like a real nice guy. Go get your own raise OP, or bolt.
Are you both CD?
