@Strategist 1
I finally decided to take the negotiation process head on. Read a ton of articles in WSJ, Fortune, etc. and sought counsel from a dozen people in and out of the industry to make a plan and develop strategy. Was able to negotiate 3 separate offers against each other to drive up the base salary. Finally feel like I'm being compensated fairly for the first time in my career.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
