Was extended an offer for SC position at a smaller consulting firm. Originally asked for 130K base, offer given was closer to ~110K base with ~10K in performance bonus. When countering with desired 125K base, due to other opportunities, base was raised to 115K. Would be happier with 120K base, but is it worth pushing for?

Just say you’d sign for $120 and they’ll give it to you. As other commenters said, $5k is nothing to you and so $5k is even less to your employer

5k is nothing to them too. As again for your 125. Worse case they say no, or better case they move closer or give you the 125. Goes without saying, but give a reason or emphasize why they should go to 125.

What kind of negotiation is this company doing? Now it’s getting me thinking, should you start off by asking for 10 to 15K more than your desired base, knowing the company is going to try to bring that number down by that much?

Yes, always. I always waaaaaay overshoot

Ask for a larger sign on bonus to make up the difference. I did this recently, and my sign on was increased by 3x bc they could not budge on the base (which was already at the max for my position).

saying hcol doesn't make it hcol.

TIA!

I have a experience of 7 years in digital media.
Currently managing a team of 20 members, handling 50+ clients.


I started my career in the same company i am currently working.

It was a start up and i started very low.

Now I am currently getting 7.8lac per annum.
I am being underpaid and i know it.

I am sure there is alot of opportunities out there.

Just wanted to know, for my experience. What kinda salaries can I look for?

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
