Don't do it... They have a list for the next guy that will take that salary. If you are new there is probably nothing you have done that makes you more valuable than the next person as you learn on the job. #entitledmuch

In general, you can't. Do you have some special situation that gives you leverage relative to all the other entry level folk?

You're better off trying to squeeze a small stipend as a signing bonus.

I tried to negotiate with three different people, one being the head partner at office. They don't budge. It's because they set national wide standards for entry level salary. Just not worth your trouble unless you have another competitor consulting offer for higher salary.

Yeah. Don't.

Yeah signing bonus is better to ask for an increase.

Okay on one condition you may, if you have offer from a competing firm for the same type of job (widely debatable) - then you can you have another offer around xyz at abc firm.

Hi All,

I had an offer from CGI for 14lpa two months ago. I rejected it as I received an offer from a product based company for 19lpa+5L stocks. Now I am not able to handle the pressure in this Product company and want to go back to CGI. Can I apply to CGI again? Will they take me? Is there any duration to apply again. Please help.

Hello, I have an offer from Publicis Sapient for their product management internship program.

Hi all.

I'm having more than 12 yrs of experience and current ctc is 11.20 excluding night shift and variables. I've given interview in bny got shortlisted and submitted the documents. Initially interview was for I grade in fund accounting. After documentation hr said they r hiring me for h grade I get ready for that too with offer of 12 lakh. But all of sudden hr is saying she is not confirm whether I'll get offer or not. They are bluffing all around to giving my offer. What should I do now

Interviewer asked what my current salary / bonus is and I told them.

I got the offer and it’s exactly the same base/bonus as my current role. (Though they’ll also give me so stock options in the private company).

Can you share what is reasonable % increase to get for salary / bonus when switching jobs? I know the team really likes me.

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?
