Be nice... smile.... engage them... listen... reassuring them that you respect that thisis a big decision and you will be moving at the pace they are comfortable... in the meantime park itin a brokerage account earning something while they work with you to put together a portfolio they are comfortable with...

You ask them to prove the money is legit, show proof of sale, tell them you are very scrupulous with your reputation. Make them feel they are lucky to meet you. Then whatever you say they will lap up.

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?
