I have a weird experience with KPMG India . Two weeks ago I had salary negotiation with the HR manager. He told me that the offer will be released in a couple of days but I haven't received the offer letter yet.I tried reaching out to the HR manager but didn't receive any response. Shall I take it as no?

Mindfire Solutions - 10.16 (Fixed) 4. TIAA - 12 Fixed 5. EPAM Systems - 13 Fixed + 1.5 Joining bonus How should I plan to decline to companies and how should I try to ask them to raise my salary?

I’m currently doing that. I’m not sure how long I’ll stay, but for now I have a very flexible schedule, I’m completely remote, and I bill around 1800 a year. And I like my team members.
I want this 🥲
I think a lot of people discount how risk adverse most lawyers are. The unknowns of a new place often outweigh the shortcomings of an existing gig. Having to start over with building relationships and reputation, learning a new system, etc., are real costs that some don't see worth the extra cash when they already make way more than they need.
That said, feeling undervalued is a real cost, too. Knowing that your firm is capable of increasing (based on what partners take home) and choosing not to is not a good feeling. Also, if you care about prestige, as many lawyers do, you don't want to be at a firm that pays less. It feels very beta in a way.
I'm more in the latter category, but I don't have time and don't want to put in the work (updating resume, deal sheet, whatever) to search for something else. I just continue to hope this firm will step up eventually.
I’m in the same boat. Updating resume is way more time consuming than I thought. And I’m already behind on hours this week so not very motivated to spend more time on updating materials after a long day.

There would need to be serious additional perks. Practically speaking, no. At most I’d stay temporarily out of laziness and then bounce to someone paying market.

I am in that boat now. I think about leaving but I am already set up here and get left alone.
If it’s the old market rates for less billables, I’d do that.
