Counter the offer and ask for a signing bonus. Don't mention if it's advertised or you heard about, just include it in your counteroffer.

Thank you so much!!

You can do it in a conversation. In the past when I've received an offer verbally, I've asked for a day or so to consider it then went back and offered my counter.
For me, it was something like 'I appreciate the offer and I'm excited about working for XX; the salary I was looking for is $$ with a signing bonus of $'. They will typically need to get back to you and they may not meet your counter but offer something in the middle. A signing bonus is much easier for them to offer than a higher salary.

If you want it in writing before you counter you can do that, but in my opinion it's not necessary.

You just bring it up and ask. People make this harder than necessary

I joined @mindtree in Jan 2022. Suddenly there is a 10k deduction in salary in the month of April. The salary slip say 10k deduction as INCOME TAX. Mindtree says "You come under 20% slab according to the income tax calculations. When all the tax slabs are applied you will have to pay yearly tax around Rs. X amount. So that amount will be deducted in monthly basis." Why sudden income tax deduction? Why was that not deducted in the month of Jan Feb March ? How can i recover that 10k every month?

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
