Negotiation tips
- • Always negotiate. The first offer is rarely the best.
- • Anchor at the upper range of the band, supported by competing offers or market data.
- • Look beyond base — ESOPs/RSUs, sign-on, joining bonus, relocation, refreshers all matter.
- • Get everything in writing in the offer letter, not just verbal commitments.
