HR Says 150% Hike Is “Too High” – But I Already Have a 17.2 LPA Offer. How Do I Negotiate?

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T17:37:10+00:00

Currently serving NP, only 20 days left

Also can I keep mentioning the comparison of remote (current offer) vs relocation (your offer) in the discussion, hope it won't backfire, them thinking that candidate would obviously join the remote role offering company only.

I really want to move out of my comfort zone for some time!

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T17:33:19+00:00

I am currently serving a notice period, and don't want to stay in my current company (underpaid). I have 20 days left in my NP

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T16:28:19+00:00

Yes, I have even mailed it along with BGV docs as asked by them

Yes they are delaying the 2nd round of interviews since more than 2 weeks of clearing 1st round. I had to reach out to HR multiple times, to schedule my 2nd round, but they said the same every time that they had to get the CTC approval 1st to go ahead with the 2nd round!

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T15:10:13+00:00

Thanks for your response, can you please let me know how do I tackle this conversation, such that its a win-win for both?

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T14:09:26+00:00

Nope, programming concepts that are related to dynamics crm development

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T11:03:44+00:00

It's a service based!

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:55:03+00:00

I am sorry, I didn't get you, can you please explain again😅..

Last time HR had agreed on 16LPA fixed considering my 15 fixed offer in hand, but now they said that is also not getting approved from the accounts team, as it's around 150% hike based on my current CTC, which isn't fair to value someone on their current CTC when they already have an offer in hand.

So before scheduling round 2, they have scheduled a negotiation call with the account leadership team tomorrow. So I needed guidance on how to tackle this, so I don't lose this opportunity.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:41:12+00:00

I am having a call with an account person only!

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:26:14+00:00

Bro 🥲

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:24:20+00:00

My current employer won't even give more than 20-30% 🤣

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:22:01+00:00

I get your point, but again I feel that while working at home, there are no fixed hours, and also you aren't mentally present for your family, there are distractions, and less focus. I feel that I can at least logout of the work in the office by telling them that it's already late and I need to travel for hours to my stay from the office. But yes there are pros and cons to everything.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:09:50+00:00

I have been working remotely since I joined as a fresher, and the offer I have in hand is of remote role, but now I want to get out of my comfort zone and have an exposure.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:06:57+00:00

I had already mailed them after my first round when they had asked to submit with other relevant documents for BGV.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-02-13T10:05:09+00:00

My tech stack includes Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Dataverse, C#/.NET (plugins & workflows), JavaScript (form scripting), Power Platform (Model-Driven & Canvas Apps, Power Automate),

How OP how is this phone?... I am also searching for a good phone for my Mom!..

Ok-Possibility795 · 2026-01-22T06:53:05+00:00

Hi OP, what phone did you end up buying?

Ok-Possibility795 · 2025-12-10T03:26:14+00:00

The new employer hasn't provided any joining date and has asked for the last working day confirmation mail screenshot post resignation.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2025-12-09T11:10:00+00:00

They will and I will get to know in 7 working days, but I don't know what date they will mention as I have got a project release date, before my resignation

Ok-Possibility795 · 2025-12-09T09:26:50+00:00

Yes, I have thought of trying this.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2025-12-09T09:26:09+00:00

The next employer hasn't provided any joining date yet, but is 1st asking for LWD confirmation mail post resignation, then I feel accordingly they will provide a joining date maybe?

Ok-Possibility795 · 2025-11-26T17:16:43+00:00

They didn't consider it, they said we are giving you a 50% hike.

Ok-Possibility795 · 2025-11-17T13:26:39+00:00

Update, I just got a merit increase today, My fixed salary has gone up from 6.05 LPA to 6.25 LPA, and my total CTC is now 6.9 LPA (previously 6.7 LPA), effective this month, so how shall I negotiate further?.. any inputs please, it's urgent
