It's my first switch. I work in service based.

Annex A is offered CTC & the other is my current CTC.

I want to know if the percentage hike is ok or if I should negotiate with HR! If yes, should I ask for a hike in total CTC or fixed components & how much.

Thanks

I was hired by this company and referred a colleague. I’m working for our current company for 4 years and then him, 3 years and I was the senior before I resigned. He asked me to refer him to the new job. Im not mad or jealous but it made me sad that when he negotiated a 5k increase from the initial offer, he was granted but not for me, the HR said its the current package for the role even if we have the same role.

I had a panel interview with the client and her bosses, while siya naman isang client lang. Maybe factor lang na mas mataas expectations ng boss nila? Maybe I did not perform too well to be granted that 5k increase. Now Im starting to blame myself kasi yung 5k na yun, malaking bagay for me.

When I asked the HR, she said the contract is final since I already signed it. Tbh ang weird din ng HR sguro kasi it was a new team, and she sourced 12 candidates so baka na-rattle na din siya kasi she has a deadline to complete the team, she even called me with different names sa email. Idk if I did not just negotiated well or he just did a better job in the interview process. Well the interviewer said the role has a lot of opportunities, parang sinasabi niya na if may potential ako marami naman promotion na nagaabang sakin. Ewan ko ba until now, It makes me feel sad and disappointed na sana I did better. Di siya mawala wala sa isip ko.

Di naman ako bitter sakanya kasi hindi naman nya kasalanan na na-nego niya ng maayos. He deserves it, pero nalulungkot talaga ako.

How do I even convince myself na 5k lang yun, hindi ako yayaman dun haha. Maybe because I’m just too emotional and anxious dahil binaha kami kaya my mind is all over the place. Cinoconvince ko na lang sarili ko na “charged to experience, alam ko na ngayon pano mag nego ng maayos next time”. Magsstart na ko 3rd week of September kaya gusto kong alisin to sa isip ko kasi hindi siya healthy. Feeling ko ungrateful ako and demanding. Gusto ko lang maging grateful at excited sa fresh start ng career ko.

I have almost 4 years of experience in cybersecurity and i am switching to another company with a level up lead role to coordinate while active incidents and basically a main communicator and In posted job description salary range is 110k to 170k and i believe they would 90% forwards with me but at the beginning of the interview rounds i said i am targeting for 135 to 145 and they are also aiming to hire for 130 to 140 and now i am thinking if i am under asking or is it risky for me to ask for more at the end of the interview processes!

I am genuinely asking for suggestions and I really want to get the best out this opportunity. please fill free to share how you faced the salary negotiations and the outcomes.

Has anyone here tried negotiating a job offer with iQor? How did it go?

For context, I have almost 8 years of BPO experience, mostly doing omnichannel support, and was earning a 35k total package in my last company. I’ve also been awarded Employee of the Year at two different companies. I submitted my recent payslips as part of their pre-employment requirements, but the offer came back at only 24.5k.

I just sent an email to negotiate the pay considering my background and previous earnings. Any heads-up on what I should expect or how flexible iQor usually is with counteroffers?

I received an offer for a new job, which I’m really excited for. It’s an increase in pay, and the company is a better fit. However, I need to reimburse my old company for what they gave me to get my Master’s Degree.

Is there a way to negotiate a one year contract to help with the reimbursement? Is there a way around this if I don’t have the money to pay up front? Please let me know any and all advice on how to navigate this. Thank you!

I have 2 offers

Nike - SDE 2
Comp - 27 fixed + 10% bonus (based on company performance)

Honeywell Technology - SE2 (AI Platform Engineer)
Comp - 30 fixed (it has 62k gratuity included)

Which one to choose?

I have an upcoming discussion with HR on a potential offer. I want to understand

1. is it okay to ask for a higher amount as per the role, not considering my current salary, or will they benchmark against my existing?
2. Can the HR ask for existing salary slips or tax returns as proof?
3. Should I negotiate with the base salary or total that also includes variable pay?
4. does it make sense to negotiate the net salary as that is in hand, although I would want to have an increase in gross, as then I know where I stand.

The background is when I joined my current organization, I did not have much experience and skills in the field, and over the years I got certifications and managed multiple projects. So in the new job, I could potentially working at 1 level more than what I am doing currently.

All your comments and feedback are highly appreciated.
Thank you!!

I’ve been working at this company for around 2 years and 4 months. When I joined, my CTC was 5.5 LPA. Last year, I asked for a hike in September because I felt I was taking on a lot of work and wasn’t being compensated accordingly.

We have a yearly appraisal cycle, but after discussing it with my manager, I eventually received a hike in December, taking my CTC to 7.2 LPA.

Now, once again, the workload has increased significantly and I’ve been working quite rigorously. I’m considering asking for another hike, but I’m unsure about the timing.

Since I had asked for a hike in September last year and it was eventually given in December, would it be reasonable to approach my manager again this September? Or would it be better to wait until October or November?

I’d appreciate some advice from people who have been in a similar situation.

I’ve always been fascinated by the small psychological things that can completely change the outcome of a conversation.

So I recently put together a short book called 21 Psychological Tricks to Influence Anyone.

It’s not meant to be a traditional psychology textbook. I wanted it to be a practical, modern field guide — short, visual, and focused on techniques you can actually recognize and use.

One of the techniques I cover is the illusion of choice.

Instead of asking someone:

“Do you want to do this?”

you give them two acceptable options:

“Would you prefer A or B?”

The interesting part is that you're not necessarily taking away their freedom to choose. You're changing the psychological frame of the decision.

In negotiation, communication, sales, and even everyday conversations, the way choices are presented can sometimes matter as much as the choices themselves.

That’s one of 21 techniques I explore in the book.

I’m the author, so obviously I’m biased 😄 — but I genuinely enjoyed putting this together.

The book is designed to be premium, modern, and highly visual, rather than another wall of text.

Just wanted to share it here because persuasion and negotiation overlap in some pretty interesting ways.

I recently submitted my resignation from a management position where I was making $105k.
Shortly afterward, a VP reached out to me personally and told me the company really values me and wants to keep me. Without me asking for additional compensation, he offered to increase my salary immediately to $115k and offered to transfer me back to a location where I previously worked and was much happier. He also told me I could stay at that location indefinitely if that’s what it takes to keep me.
I haven’t withdrawn my resignation or accepted the counteroffer yet.
Here’s where I’m debating whether to negotiate further.
I have another potential opportunity working for a family business. Compensation isn’t finalized yet, so I don’t want to misrepresent it as a firm offer, but we’re discussing around $40/hour, which would be approximately $83k/year. I would also be working roughly 40 hours/week and could live at home rent-free.
If I stay with my current employer and accept the transfer, I’d be moving back to an area where my previous rent was about $2,400/month. My current management job also averages around 60 hours/week. The company would cover my relocation expenses.
I genuinely liked working at the location they’re offering to send me back to, so I’m seriously considering staying. This isn’t just an attempt to squeeze my employer for money.
Given the difference in housing costs and hours, I’m considering asking whether there’s additional flexibility above $115k. If they ask me for a number, I’m thinking about asking for **$125k**, with the understanding that they may counter around $120k.
My concern is that they already voluntarily gave me a nearly 10% raise, so I don’t want to come across as ungrateful or overplay my leverage.
**Would you negotiate again in this situation? Is $125k a reasonable opening ask after they already moved from $105k to $115k, or would you take the $115k and not push it?**
Also, would you mention the specifics of the competing family-business opportunity ($83k, no rent, \~40 hours/week), or simply say you have another opportunity that makes the financial comparison closer than the salaries suggest?

I just had a recruiter screening with another big 4 company. I’ve been at their competitor for over 4 years in a coordinator position and with my base + OT, I make over 90k. The recruiter gave me a range of 70-80k and said she can confidently say that this role won’t offer anything over 90k.
This is for an associate level role and the title is one step above my current role. I seem very qualified for this role and I have been looking for a promotional title change, but due to the compensation, I am debating whether or not I should cancel my interview.
I am extremely comfortable in my current role and have great benefits, but have been disappointed with the lack of promotion in my team.
Any thoughts? Don’t want to waste my time or the interviewers time.
