Sorry for the confusion. Let’s say company A is the first company I tried and got the offer. Still don’t have anything else in hand. Have to attend interviews of other companies, but company A is pushing u to respond immediately. Without giving u time for B , C and others

I think you will have time long enough of notice period right... In that duration give interview...

I got laid off recently. Don’t have any other options 🙃

Tell them to send offer letter in writing. Then get on a meeting with them next day. Till that time ask company B to send you offer letter too. Whichever gives you higher join the company. 
 Also be prompt when company b replies with the offer. 
 Taking too much time like a week Will obviously not get you rejected if the company needs your skills

If you don't have to join immediately accept the offer, accepting the offer as long as you don't sign anything like a contract is ok.

Offer acceptance is not the same as joining the company. You can accept the offer and then still interview at other places.

When you have only 1 offer in hand and HR is pushing you to respond immediately (take it or leave it). You also want to try for other options how do you ask for more time?

Hello Everyone,
I’m a bit confused of what should I make out of this situation
Background summary-
I have had 2 interview rounds
Back to back within 2 days HR couldn’t stop calling for even small queries.
Round 1- discussion related to location, roles and responsibilities basic information.
Round 2- Interview went well expected compensation was asked and also the question of relocation was asked
Which from my understanding was interview went well
Since 3 days I have been contacting the HR and she has been giving replies such as still need to get the feedback from the interviewer etc
After 3 days I texted her to ask the status update we connected where she mentioned they are currently busy into hiring from another location and need to get the confirmation from the internal team if they are proceeding with this location (the same location where I was considering) although you’re shortlisted but still I will need 2 days to confirm whether they are proceeding ahead with this location.

I have been attending interviews for this company for 3 weeks with around 5 rounds of technical interviews. I did well in most technical interviews and okay in one. And HR said I am selected but they are trying to get an idea of my fitting in the role or some shit. The management is asking them to position me in one level lower than what was mentioned when they were hiring as i am not suitable for tech lead position(I would agree though and I am okay with being positioned less as i am more interested in IC roles). And was asked to reduce CTC as well.

So they are providing 5 lakhs less than what i asked and i also have another offer 3 lakhs more than this offer. This offer is remote but the other offer is wfo. I don't hate wfo but wfh would be good as it is flexible.

How do i convince the HR to get what i asked early? I am thinking of walking away if they low ball.

Hi All, For example while searching a job you will get one offer and you accept also then in the 2 months notice period if you get another offer from another company how to talk to first company ?

How you guys are tackling this situation?

Multiple offer in notice period. How to convey to HR

Salesforce Developer

So I interviewed with a company two months ago, after all the formalities were done, I received a response from the HR that I have cleared all the rounds. But the requirements for the position they were hiring me for suddenly changed and they asked me to wait for a while until a new position positions opens up matching my tech stack. At that time I was about to be released from a project in my current company so getting the notice period reduced to 2 months was not that much of a hassle. 
Today, the HR called me again telling me that a new position has been opened up and if I am available to join I can join. My official period is of 90 days and now I have been allocated to a new project in my current company.
I have been wanting to switch since so long because of variety of reasons. But the problem now is the notice period in my current company. The HR is very strict about joining within the 60 days but I am not getting any vibe that my current manager is going to reduce my notice period.

Please suggest if there are any ways out of it.

Thanks in advance!!

How to get the notice period reduced?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I got to know that budget for the role i interviewed is in range of 20-25 LPA. My last drawn salary itself is lower than the market standards. The company wouldn't give hike more than 30% considering my experience in the role domain. But I have performed well in all my interview rounds. 
Any tips from the community to negotiate for atleast the lower band of their budget?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I was looking for my 2nd offer on top of an existing one & this HR, cross questioned me like why am I searching for another one and that it is not fair and all. 

I didn’t have much time so I simply rejected him saying it wont work between us because of his aggressive attitude and ended the phone call.

Doesn’t HRs take multiple interviews simultaneously? So what exactly gives them right to ask us. Plus the only way to get a decent hike these days is to negotiate via multiple offers. Why be such prude in first place and create this culture by offering peanuts. 

How would you have handled this case?

Hi guys, I'm having two different company offers and they come with a timeline of acceptance. Is it ethical to accept both offers and join one. It's a tough spot as my existing notice is 90 days and don't want any surprises later. Please advice

Question for pro negotiators

Investment Banking Associate

What can be the consequences of showing Forged offer letter. Like I have got offer 0f 24LPA from Company A. Now company B offers me same I want to join B, whatif I edit 24 of A to 28 LPA, show that to B and ask them match it. I don't think B will contact A to confirm it, BgV also concerns previous employers.. So is there any risk???

Showing Forged offer letter

Why indulge in fraud/deceit?  
 Imaan ki roti kamaao, aaram se neend bhi aayegi raat ko.

I interviewed for a US-based company, the process started during the last week of March. The process took a month to complete, and the final round took 2 weeks to get scheduled since the director of engineering was not available. 

After all rounds were complete, it took 2 weeks for the managing director to call me and tell me about the offer.  This happened after I had to call the recruiter and ask him for updates. 

Since then the recruiter has taken some details in the past week and they made me sign a NDA. I called on Monday and they said they will release the offer by Wednesday as it's getting approved in the US. Now the recruiter is not picking up my calls. 

All this time is making me think that the recruiter is possibly considering other candidates and keeping me on hold just in case.

Do you think the recruiter is ghosting me or not taking my candidature seriously? How should I proceed? 

Thanks!

Recruiter taking a lot of time to release the offer

Hello everyone! I'm an intern at a startup. I have received a full-time offer from another company. I want to negotiate with my current company as I anticipate their offer might be lower. My HR has asked me multiple times if I have an offer from any other company. Should I inform her now or wait until my current company presents an offer and then reveal that I have another offer?

When is the best time to inform HR about another job offer to negotiate for higher pay?

I accepted an offer from Company A but explored other options and recently got a better offer from Company B. I’ve had second thoughts about Company A, and I’ve learned their salaries are often paid late.How should inform Company A that I won’t be joining them?

It has been 25 days since I got laid off from the startup that I was working for. I have given a few interviews. Got rejected in 1st or 2nd rounds in a few, went till the last round n rejected in a couple and haven't heard back from the HR in a few. Not hearing back, unanswered calls, delays in rounds etc. cause a lot of anxiety and impacts my confidence and preparation levels. How do I tackle it? 
Also, unable to find fresh openings in product/ strategy roles for past few days. This also adds to pressure and uncertainty.

In short, it is a very troubling phase. How do I deal with it? Need enormous help from all of you folks. Would love to hear some great thoughts / insights / hacks too.

Laid off and preparing for interviews

Product Manager

Attended an interview for a startup where they said all was okay and agreed to rollout the offer letter and last minute told hiring freeze. This is for an entry level role. 

Cannot name the company as I can get identified. Fintech startup.  Their payscales in glassdoor were showing high base for entry level roles in Business Operations. 


How do we make sure that recruiter does not ghost us . What are the strategies we can use to get the offer. These days, every recruiter in first call itself asking about salary expectations.

Ghosted by recruiter !!

My manager called me in the meeting and said that from now onwards all 7 days are working because we are behind tasks.
( These tasks are irrelevant to me as these are not related to any customer development, he just wants to see how the data adds up )
Honestly I think it was the diwali week where people took things lightly and not that we are behind deadlines.
He asked me to be available 24x7 this Friday to Sunday but I had already planned the weekend off with family and pre intimated this 10 days in advance.
Now I'm getting calls that 'x' task was not done and 'y' customer is complaining etc. ( which is not the case )
On this break, I've finally made up my mind to quit.
The mental pressure is not worth it.
WHAT is a good way to put it across to the leadership??

I am ready to Quit !

How do you go about interviews where neither party has discussed the band . Do you seek blood or bleed?

Tell me your story of salary negotiation. Did you straight up ask the band? Did the HR ignore or take offense at your audacity to ask how much this role could pay?
