Hi guys, I’ve a query so I’m already in discussion with Deloitte India and got a call from Deloitte USI. So if I would’ve to choose btw these two given the salary and designation offered is almost same. Which one should I prefer India or USI?
Can Deloitte folks guide me what are the pros and cons working with either entities. Thanks!

What is a good salary for a director in NY?
Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?

I mean, there's no harm in trying. The worst they'll say is no. I'm personally of the opinion that you shouldn't say no for them and you should always try and get as much money and benefits as possible for yourself.
Why not? You don’t have to be pushy, just curious. Ask if there's flexibility or room for a signing bonus, equity, extra PTO, or professional development perks. The worst they can say is no!

I would try.
A good general rule is that anything that can be negotiated should be. If nothing else, it establishes that you're not a pushover. But, if you've already gotten what you've asked for, it might seem odd to be initiating negotiations. Perhaps you could try to negotiate something non-salary, like more vacation time, or some other perk. Companies have rescinded offers when people have appeared unserious or demanding, so that's always a concern.
If the company listed a salary range in the job description, I'd recommend checking the company's wording. If they specifically expressed that the range is non-negotiable, then don't negotiate above the top of the range. Even if the company didn't say that the range was set in stone, I wouldn't recommend negotiating because you could lose the job opportunity. I hope this helps!
