Hello everyone,
I recently interviewed for a Responsible AI Developer position at Accenture and successfully cleared two interview rounds. I am currently working as an AI Developer at a startup in Bangalore, with a CTC of 7.2 LPA(it was 6 LPA until last month when I received a hike).
I received a call from Accenture confirming that I passed the interviews. However, the package they are offering is around not even 6 LPA in-hand, which is lower than my current salary. This situation has put me in a dilemma as I have 4 years of total experience —2 years as a Coding Instructor and 2.5 years as an AI Developer.
In my current role, I am involved in both product and project work, and I often work long hours, typically from 10 AM to 11 PM
It's a work-from-home setup, but my CEO frequently contacts me on weekends for updates, suggestions, and upcoming tasks. Despite the demanding schedule, I am considering Accenture's offer because it is a well-established MNC which would be beneficial for my career.
However, I have family responsibilities and need to manage a loan, so a lower salary would be challenging for me. I've reached out to the HR team at Accenture for further discussion, but I have not received any responses yet.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights on how to approach this situation or negotiate better terms. Thank you .
