Hello all, I have an offer from Quantiphi and another famous travel company which is building a technical arm for themselves. Both the companies are offering same compensation. HRs are calling for offer acceptance. I am leaning towards Quantiphi as the culture is well known to me.
But I have to decide soon. Should I accept both the offers and then decline one at the time of joining. I am new to this and find this a little unethical. Can someone help?

Don't use cost of living, or gas prices, or your rent increasing as the reasons. Your company is not responsible for those things. Also, don't use "but Joe is being paid more than I am," because that just makes you look jealous and petty (not that it is jealous or petty, but managers really don't care to hear that stuff).
Put together a well-documented list of your accomplishments and contributions, showing how you have earned a raise. Showing how you've earned it is the best way.
Good luck!

This is super helpful. Thanks. It sounds like showing value to the company is the way to go.

I honestly think the best way to negotiate for a raise is to have something to ask yourself what have you brought to the table? How has your performance improved since the last raise or performance review? Can you quantify that into results? How long have you been with the organization, is it significant or just a few months? How have you demonstrated loyalty to the organization? How have you saved the organization any money or labor costs? How have you made money for the organization? Is your current salary similar to industry standard?
When you can answer these types of questions, just ask your manager for a raise and state some of these answers. Just be mindful or tactful about stating industry standards, as it may open a can of worms.
