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.
