Salary Negotiation
HR is is trying to lowball me into accepting an offer at my current compensation stating market conditions. I don’t have any other offers yet. What can be done here? 🥲

If you're still employed, continue working at your current company.
If not/serving NP, and you have less than 3 months of runway left, then you'll have to take the tough call.
P.S. This new company is shi*** to the core. 🚩 right from the start.

Im still working but my company has less than 2 months of runway. I have 1 month to join this new company. I think I will give more interviews aggressively now

Do you have enough saving to meet your personal expenses, say for at least 6 months?

Accept the offer and continue to lookout.
Ask the recruiter to throw in a (maybe 10%) joining bonus.
If they still don't care, just accept it and keep interviewing.
You have until the joining day to refuse if you play it dumb.
You can shift your starting date citing any family emergency or medical reasons, and move it ahead, until you get better offers to join.
"But oh, it's so unethical"
Bruh, the companies don't give two shit about you during lay-offs. They don't give 2 shit about your compensation on joining. You needn't either.
I have seen ample people turn down offer on joining date. You can't force anyone to come to office lmao.
This is the 2024 market.
Accept the offer for now and keep on giving interviews aggressively ...
Fir usko bhi latka dena once u get a good offer

True man. Thanks for the suggestions.
Just to get a sense, what is the offer? And what's your profile like? Want to get a sense of the market
