I’ve been interviewing with KPMG Advisory for the past month for a Sr Specialist role. I have a very niche background for a certain area of financial data which aligns to a new product in Advisory. When they were about to make an offer, HR asked me my salary expectations. I told them my initial ask, which they asked if it was the minimum and I said yes. HR extended me an offer last Wednesday for the minimum but my competing offer was $10k more. I went back to HR Thursday asking if they could have flexibility on the salary. HR raised it with the hiring team, but the rep told me he was surprised that I was asking for me because they gave me what I originally asked for. For those at KPMG, did you negotiate your salary and if so, how long did it take for them to come back after your counter offer? This is my first time having the courage to negotiate salary and I am worried they will pull the offer. #consulting #salarynegotiation
Tell them you have a competing offer and are willing to show proof if needed. Stand your ground, they need you and they won’t pull the offer. Be transparent that I appreciate them meeting my ask but I now have a competing offer blah blah
Can u refer me
Same thing happened to me. Found out I left $10k in base on the table.
Can you refer me
I asked them to raise it, they declined - I said no worries I have another offer (I actually did) and said I won’t move forward. Then they accepted it - this all happened in like 1-2 days. After they gave me the adjusted salary, the HR person said I had 2 days to confirm/sign lol

TC or GTFO.... you want advise but you intentionally give very less information what role , comp etc .....
Can you refer me
Agreed that you should stand your ground. I think they’ll meet your offer if you indicate how you have another offer paying more
Can you refer me
Yes but now you have competing offer . Ask them to match . It’s your market value
