My agency said they’re doing annual reviews at the end of the year, but I’d I get an offer from a different agency before that, how do I leverage that offer for a higher salary?? Help I’m sweating!

You tell your manager that while you want to stay, you have an offer that is for a higher salary.

If they want to keep you they’ll give you the amount or at least a higher one.

BUT they 100% can let you walk and not give you any raise at all.

Adding to junior copy above: do not approach your manager until you have offer in hand. You then have 3 business days to respond. Any longer and the agency that made you the offer will know you’re using for leverage and will withdraw it.

If you have another offer in hand, they can counter before the annual review if they want to keep you enough.

Currently unemployed, and looking at a job offer of around 62k base, small firm. Not my preferred choice but this is the first offer in three months. They also took a month to get me the offer with corona and internal restructuring. Two questions:
1) The contract doesn’t mention a notice period in the probation period. What’s a good way to ask? 2) If I manage to secure another offer between contract signing and start date, would this involve any financial liabilities?

Hi Fishes,

What is the avg and max CTC one can expect with total 7 YOE in IT operations (support) with last 3 years as a Senior Analyst/Team Lead?

I want to make a switch into the Consulting domain. I'm somewhat of a quasi-consultant in my current role, I like the Consultant job profile and feel I'm capable of doing well in this field.
