Regretting my offer negotiation
Hello Peeps, I need your honest opinions. I am working as a Team lead for SAP BASIS with 8.5 YOE. Cracked an interview at a fairly good product based company. My ctc is 16.5 F+2.5 VP. I demanded 25 lpa fixed considering 50% hike on my current Fixed. Now one month before joining my colleagues have been saying that I should have negotiated definitely more than this And that I made a big mistake. I do have a similar offer but I do not want to counter offer since I have made a professional commitment to them. Thanks 😊
