When Google asks for an internal referal during the interview process, what benefit does that give if any? I luckily have one previous colleague who I worked with; but does that help during the interview?

Not really to be honest. It’s moreso for references later in the process if you’re a finalist

Yeah but it’s not going to tank your interview if you don’t have any.

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
