When negotiating salary using another offer as leverage, are you required to show the firm you’re negotiating with the offer letter from the other firm?

Want leverage? Get a new job, and resign with your 2 weeks notice, and walk away and never look back.
If they chase after you, and offer to beat the offer etc, you have a decision to make.
Unfortunately, they probably don’t care. And you trying to engineer a way to hustle a raise shows that you are in the weaker position. And any attempt to “convince” them will only make you look like you’re not a team player.
Be bold and let go of your attachment. Go get a new job and look to the future!

Disagree with KPMG1. You could simply present it as “Hey I’ve had a great time working here but there’s this other opportunity that looks good for me. Before I walk I wanted to give you the opportunity to see if I’m worth more than currently being paid.”

It comes across as courteous and professional and entirely normal...but only do it if you’re willing to walk

No. They can ask, and you can provide whatever information you want.

If you say who offer is from, in theory they could contact that company to validate it but the company should not share any details. This is to prevent people from making up offers and yet preserve information asymmetry

I agree with KPMG 1 - if you’re thinking of going, go.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!
