Can any 🐠 help me with a referral @ Nike?
Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctc: 13 lpa
Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa.
After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).
Queries:
1. Is this normal or rare case, reducing the offer amount from what quoted initially?
2. Should I accept or negotiate?
I don't have any other offer as of now.

Make sure everything stays confidential with the recruiter. Do the interviews and whatnot. Then if you don’t get the job NO ONE WILL KNOW. That’s the best part. No one else on your team will ever know unless you tell them or unless you are on an HR project that has something to do with a candidate pipeline. You’re good. Go for the interview and don’t say anything to anyone.
Keep it secret so your team at D never finds out until you submit 2 weeks notice. You are not the first person from D to possibly join a client. No bridges will be burned just by this.
Are you interviewing for the same business unit, or the exact team you're working with? A BU at FAANG scale is huge, but joining a 10 person team you work with today is different.
Would your client contacts speak well of you today? Is your project super secret? Do you have your name in the client email directory (usually the case if you have a client laptop or virtual desktop)? You could tell the recruiter that you're familiar with client culture and such due to consulting work, but they will look you up and may ask your client colleagues about you.
Not getting the offer isn't a very bad outcome. You're not going to be kicked off your engagement by the client for not getting an offer, nor would D fire you, assuming you keep things secret.
Thanks for the feedback, M1.
The recruiter mentioned about only the title but I'm not sure if it's the exact same program he is talking about. There tens, if not hundreds, of workstreams/programs within the same BU so I will find out more soon.
The client sings my praises for the PM work I have been doing and the value I add. They provide great feedback to the M. And yes I am in directory, all the organization chart, BU, report chain, title, workstream etc. are transparent.
