“Negotiate salary with HR when I have a counter offer”
I need coaching on how to negotiate salary with HR with a counter offer in hand. I'm a senior software engineer with five years at a service company in Pune. A product company offered a 45% hike, and now my current employer has made a counter offer that nearly matches it. The new company's HR wants my final decision and is asking whether I can join before my 90-day notice period ends.
I'd like a 45-minute call to think through both offers (CTC breakup, variable pay, joining bonus, notice buyout) and plan exactly what to say to HR on both sides.
- 45-minute call comparing both offers
- Script for the HR conversations
- Notes on what to ask for in writing
For: Senior software engineer in India with competing offers
