I'm curious if I can leverage my salary in India while negotiating offers in the US. If so, what would be an appropriate conversion amount for Bay Area? Based on other posts, the PPP adjusted salary in the US seems to be ~3.5x the Indian salary (converted in USD). I'm aware that the offer is going to be based on the interviews and other offers, which will determine the upside. And that top companies might beat my past salary anyway if I make the cut. However, for other companies or possible situations, I want to understand if I can maximize the downside using my past salary + expecting a 30-40% hike.
I'm actively looking out for jobs, but also waiting for a potential transfer offer from Samsung.

Edit: I'm asking about negotiating with other companies using India salary, not with Samsung to get a better transfer offer since negotiating during internal transfer is meaningless.

I'm worried about getting a low offer or level in the worst case scenario.
It's different culture/work style/ projects.
Even between US and Canada ,it differs.
You may find few exceptions because of extraordinary performance in interview or luck factor but majority offers are aligned with what Jim Cramer said...
Willing to walk away is the key. It comes with risk, because they might not give you that offer and you would have to stick to your words. Only If you are okay to let go of US, you could try this but know the risks.
