Offer Negotiation for Software Engineers with Shivam Tayal

For engineers holding one or more offers, or expecting one this week.

What happens (30 min)

• We break the offer down: base, variable, RSU vesting and cliffs, joining bonus and clawbacks, notice-period buyout

• We compare it with your market level and any competing offers

• We write your counter and the exact lines for the call with HR

What you leave with: a counter-offer number, a written script, and what to concede if they push back.

My own track record: ₹56L at Media.net to ₹1.1Cr at Coinbase, and multiple ₹1Cr+ offers in 2026.

This is career guidance, not legal advice.
