@SW-User Oh flexibility of hours is important too, you might bargain that in too.

@Carazaa I once tried that back in Audi and I got a response that if you want a personal life, you should look at settling overseas. How mean was that. So I thought fuck it and I left Audi after 4 years + and joined Jaguar where I had no personal life at all 😭

@Carazaa Can we take this on private message?

@Yulianna Lol I love that you can be mildly intimidating 🤣 I found my partner in crime.

@SW-User 😯 only mildly!!! i must try harder! 😂😂😂

@Yulianna lol I have often got this in the actual world that I come across as very intimidating so usually others don't intimidate me. I said mildly for the poor souls who may think before saying anything.🤭

@Firegod74 In my last drawn salary, I have not accounted for the car perk that I got because it gets added separately under perks. In this particular company, there is no perk involved at all.

@Dlrannie You are worth every penny beautiful 😘😘😘

@Pinkstarburst That's a fair point and I agree with you. In my case, I cannot last in an organization where I don't enjoy the work. It's just not built in me. But again that's just me and others may think differently.

@HootyTheNightOwl You are viewing this from a survival point of view. I am asking the question from an ambitious perspective. There comes a point in your professional life when you move beyond survival needs.

Who is asking for above the average wage? The post clearly indicates that the employer is asking to settle 20% below the existing or last drawn salary. And the last drawn or existing salary is as per industry standards.

@Teslin Yeah, they asked me if I am talking to others and I did affirm having 3 interviews in the pipeline.

@SW-User Yes, they always come in low to see if you are bluffing LOL. Good luck with your search.

@Teslin LOL i aint.

@Ynotjenn Bang on! Just the way I thought.

@SW-User Then I made the right decision

@Dlrannie That's exactly what I do presently.

@Dlrannie 🤗 these days, you won't get out of bed for less than $50,000!

@dale74 How sweet of you

@heavyone2 Thank you

@1490wayb Do you remember the title?

@SW-User no i dont sorry

@1490wayb No prob :)

@BizSuitStacy Yes, it's for the same profile but in fact for a higher position. No idea has been given on succession planning.

@SW-User I think you already know the answer then. Don't sell yourself short.

@Lifehues Neah, it is an average role - nothing that would give me a kick.

@SW-User May it rain more interesting offers for you :)

@SW-User Yeah, in the beginning of my career I didn't really have much say anyway.

@solitaire Presently, I am self-employed but now I am looking at a good comeback in the corporate sector.

@SW-User
THAT may be the difference right there.

When I was about your age I left the corporate world and took lower money to escape the corporate mind set. I've thought about that decision a few times since then, but never regretted it.

You're making good money now in your self directed job. You must know what your are doing if you are able to pull down that kind of money. Think carefully before jumping out. Especially if you are in the same kind of business the corporation is. If you end up unhappy after a while, they may have a non-compete clause in there somewhere if you leave.

@Budwick Yeah, the non-compete clause is applicable for 1 year after resignation.

@ozgirl512 The job market will further open up in the month of March i.e. before the fiscal year begins.

@SW-User If you need the job then it's your decision to make

@Jenny1234 Yeah, even I felt the same.

@SW-User Hahaha! Good response. Smart!

@Punches Replied.

@dale74 Will PM

@SW-User what is that

@dale74 Private message 😭

@SW-User Then allow me to enlighten you with some wisdom. I am still offered an opportunity to join my previous organization, Jaguar Land Rover which I sure you must know is owned by an Indian company. The salary offered is exactly as it was and i.e. a little more than $7,000. It quite also depends on the credentials of the candidate. I am a graduate in Mass communication with MBA from one of the IVY league business schools. Evidently, I have not added the car perk because it comes to us beyond the ctc.

@SW-User Am i supposed to be impressed ? What part of being in a pandemic dont you understand ? do you seriously think people have money to buy new land rovers ? World wide recession is looming idc what qualifications you have or what money you earn in this current climate no one will be earning that sort of money

@SW-User You are not supposed to be impressed because you are not in that position. You are supposed to use basic common sense. What part of English don't you understand? Do you seriously think JLR will give an offer if they don't have the money to pay? Do you even know that the market is slowly opening up and hence there are so many recruiters calling with job opportunities? I would have agreed with you had this been a situation in 2019 or 2020.

@SW-User Some are taking advantage by playing the covid card, although if I read their financial reports (available on public domain), they are generating profits.

@SW-User if where you're at is anything like Australia, COVID has actually led to less skilled migration, therefore greater bargaining power and increased wages

@SW-User For the Indian market, there are many candidates and very few employers. DD is more than SS.

@Stereoguy I declined the offer. I actually don't even want a senior management position. Therefore, I'm primarily looking for senior manager or chief manager positions
