Offerd by Startup and a Multinational Healthcare company

I recently interviewed at an MNC and my interviews went great. They also gave a case study. At the time of final negotiation for salary, i asked for standard 40-45% hike. However they took some time and came back with an offer of almost 95%-100% and literally more than that if i include yearly fixed bonus component. This was a big surprise to me, and they states that we have done this taking care of pay parity, etc. I am very happy, However, i want to know is this common or happened with anyone else? Are there such good companies, people and HRs... Anyone having any thoughts on this?

Recently, I interviewed with a US healthcare startup. I cleared and was offered 30lpa. 10% hike on my last CTC. I need to work in the Central Time zone. May even need to stretch since it's a startup. Good learning opportunity and ownership. Even before this, I got an offer for 38LPA from another healthcare startup from Chennai. Apparently I couldn't take up that offer because of relocation. After that whatever calls I got didn't have the budget or wanted me to completely relocate to Pune, Mumbai or Gurgaon. I am looking for something in Bangalore hybrid/wfo/remote. Some companies left the hiring process in the middle saying org restructuring. I got some offers to be VP or Co-founder with sole equity. The number of calls that I received last year comparatively are very high and that too from very good companies. I am clueless right now. Since, I am broke and feel helpless. I am not sure what to do now. Sometimes I lose confidence and feel low on what I lack... So, coming back to the question, how do you guys decide on offers?

currently I work in an ai consulting company (<40 folks) with 20+ lpa salary. recently I got an offer from a big mnc bank for around 15% hike on my total ctc. I informed my current org yesterday and they have countered me with a 20% hike now. I am confused on what to choose. ps: I have ~5 yoe.

Hi folks, thinking of writing a regular mini blog here about my learnings being a generalist in the ecosystem. I currently handle growth at an ecom startup and have previously been through 2-3 startups + a large corporate in my 7 year career. #1: Why you should not stay only in startups Recently started reflecting on salaries of many peers who are also startup folks and trying to see where it stands. There are 3 cohorts: a. People who started out in Big 4/Corporate & then became a generalist: They've been underpaid the most. First pay was 4-5L, and when they transitioned to startups, started at 7-9L. Over time, growing from there is difficult without MBA. b. People who have forever been in startups: They earn more than A on average. But here too, there is a delta in their salaries vs. people with same YoE who went to an MBA and are in corporate now. Side note: I've seen this cohort has usually loved what they've done, and being in startups definitely has positively impacted their thought process. c. People who went to a corporate/big tech etc. mid way: This cohort has done the best long term. Their pay got recalibrated when they went to a larger company in the middle through their career, and when they rejoined startups, they were respected more in salary negotiation. This is to anybody out there who is a generalist and sees a similar path. Try to sandwich a proper, large company in your career. It gives you perspective on whether you like it and if startups is really your preferred route. And it also recalibrates your pay. Startups will limit you basis your last salary. Corporates have standards basis bands. Just something to think over. NOTE: Do share feedback, if this makes sense. And if you'd like to read more of these too.

Hi all, As the title suggests, I want to know if there are consequences associated with quitting a company in just 3 weeks. I've joined an early stage startup as one of the first few hires in the product team. The pay and work is reasonably okay. WLB is also good. But one of the companies I was interviewing during my NP from called me back, conducted one more interview and now I have a better offer in hand. This new company is a fintech giant and objectively it makes no sense for me leave this offer. I'm stuck in a situation now where I'm getting super anxious to initiate this conversation with my current manager about leaving in just 3 weeks. Can someone help me with this? Please share your experiences if possible. Thanks a lot.

Not very sure about the offer I have in hand. It’s a large MNC 3 day a week hybrid role. Background: 3+ years with a early stage startup, laid off Unemployed for one year Joined Unicorn startup at +15% - just about one year - hybrid but mostly remote coz most of the team is in a different city even though we have an office in BLR Now offer in hand - MNC +15% Primary reason for job change: lack of growth opportunities in current org/role challenges working remotely with a team that goes to office in a different city Should I take it? Or should I wait for a better opportunity. No interviews lined up currently.

I am currently working in a startup which pays 38lpa base and no stocks, no EPF. Plus point is complete work from home. So i accepted it. But then I am thinking if I was low balled, as I have 6 years experience including 2 other MAANG level companies i worked with (not exactly MAANG but nearby) My previous compensation was 28 base and stocks of 7 lakh per year. I didn't had any competing offer so accepted it. I am planning to study DSA and system design to start applying again in one year. Let me know your opinion.

I have been interviewing at a startup. Initially I told my expectations to be 38LPA Later came to know, they pay much more. Have cleared all the interviews, how can I negotiate for more salary? Current compensation - 27LPA Yoe - 6.5 Role: Senior frontend engineer

Hi! So I had been interviewing for a startup and I finally heard back from them with an offer but the numbers are way below my expectations. I had quoted a 25% raise from my prev pay of 1.5 years — which I know from folks around would have been their budget for the role as well. But they have lowballed me offering me a 10% increase on my base pay + no ballpark on the variable bonus. Now I am confused about a few things 1. They said they normally just offer a 10% hike on prev salary to all new joinees (which is a little shady to me bec I’m sure they had a budget of their own for each role) 2. They are saying my year end bonus will be based on performance but are not even giving me a ballpark (bonus could be a 10K INR also and a month’s salary also. The range is huge) 3. They are saying the reason they don’t offer market standard right on joining is because in the past even after rigorous rounds of interviews, they have seen poor performers in the team despite the good pay. (My question is: how is that my problem and not your hiring manager’s? Because you have been historically bad at setting up a good hiring process and judgment - is not MY PROBLEM. This just reeks of your low trust in me even before I have joined. And I don’t know if that’s a great thing) Final question: is this giving 🚩🚩? Please help me assess + also any other reccos on how to handle or negotiate this bec as much as the role is exciting to me, the numbers are just not pleasant
