Is it good idea to discuss salary in 2 months after joining? I joined company A 2 months back(I got laid off from Groupon). Because of the market situation I couldn’t negotiate the offer. The HR said on my face if I negotiate then result might not be in my favor. I am on h1b so because of the visa situation I decided to join. After joining I received offer from company B(they took too much time in rolling out the offer). The offer is lucrative (30% difference). Though I want to stay in the current company, I just can’t ignore the other offer. Should I discuss it with my manager? How should I put the situation in front of him? #offer #tech #negotiation #ethics
Op, no way you will get a pay raise in your current company this soon. Now the choice, how would you like to be remembered by you boss and team—the one who wants $$ just after joining and then leaves or the forgotten one who just left(nobody will miss you)
Either way nobody will miss you. When situation comes to shove the company will shove you out.
The new offer is your current market value. You should ask your current mgr for a raise, give a genuine reason on why you want the raise and why you feel you like your work and that you want to stay as long as the company understands your market value and gives you what you deserve. If they don’t agree- switch. H1 workers looking for a job after a layoff are given a bad offer because they know you don’t have the power to negotiate.
How much bump did you get when you moved from Groupon to company A ? 30% is fantastic bump and i think you should move on. With so much going on with H1 , TC is the only real thing.
I got almost negligible bump from Groupon to A.
Move on. They played hardball with you before and now they are going to lose you because of that. Take what the market is willing to pay you. You can see if they will match but if they don’t I would leave.

HR played dirty to use your situation. Communicate your situation to the manager and how willing you are to stay, but always be ready to walk away and take up the opportunity at Company B.
