Your offers, on the same terms

One rule for every column: count fixed pay + variable at target + stock that vests in year 1. Everything else is "left out" and shown separately. All amounts in ₹ lakh a year.

What an extra rupee nets

₹L
Per year. Uses the new-regime slabs on Offer A's fixed pay.

An estimate, not tax advice: it treats Offer A's fixed pay as fully taxable and ignores employer PF and surcharge. Check with a CA.

Got a no?

A reply you can send, and a date to reapply

"Thank you for the time you spent on this. I'd like to apply again. Could you tell me what the earliest date is and what you would want to see change?"

Ask the recruiter how long the company waits before you can apply again, and enter that date. We keep it here so you do not forget.

What to know

  1. Ask for the written offer and annexure before any reply.
  2. Rebuild the offer into cash by year; the headline is not the cash.
  3. Ask for one package, with a number for each item.
  4. Get the level and title in writing.
  5. Ask for a date to decide, with the written offer first. Mention only an offer you hold in writing.
