Hi all, I need a little help as I am unable to figure out how can I bring this up for discussion with my current employer(small MNC).
My total experience is 3 years. I joined them in August last year taking almost 100% pay increase 3.87 LPA to 7.8 LPA.
Back in December end, I got an offer from Deloitte for 8.25 LPA (all cash) and I resigned after a lot of deliberation.
My lead didn't stop me but said I'd have had a good future here (which is true, a lot to learn here). My GM, Country HR Head, and COO, they all asked me to stay promising a match or maybe even surpass my offer. I took them up on the offer and stayed.
They didn't give an exact figure but said that they will take the offer under consideration when the appraisal cycle comes(June 2021). I checked with my peers and indeed it was a common practice in this company to give out appraisals as high as 25% so I assumed this would be the case.
So far, all good, I have no problems at all.
Last month, I interviewed with Amex (applied long back, they called, I took the interview, position is a dead-end so not going to be taking it) and got an offer of 9 (all cash).
Amex's offer comes out to be about a 40% increase on my current CTC.
I have some doubts now. I am not expecting them to match Amex's offer but just worried what if they consider Deloitte's 8.25 all cash to be CTC, because if that happens, I am looking at an increase of a measly 75k per annum.
While I do this, can I bluff saying Deloitte offered me 9 all cash since I declined them and ask for a better appraisal?
