Three months into my first job, I think I didn't ask for a high enough salary. How/when do I course correct?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

Hi all, starting this thread to understand salary benchmarks with 7-8 years of experience in pharma.

Hi,
What kind yearly hike can be expected in TCS by lateral hires?? Would be great if some one can give a band wise estimate.
Also is the hike amount added to fixed components like basic and hra... or only in mva or qva components??
Appreciate your responses.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Also would leaving IBM after 1 year look bad on CV?
