Negotiation Details
Hmmm if the offer is in UK then the Leadership and management is great so you really do not need to worry too much as they are very fair to all candidates in UK, however if applying for India then you must be a fantastic negotiator and a great sales person because they don't really have a problem with offering the least they can. The Indian Leadership team which including some higher management (based in UK) are more interested in short term goals and immediate profits. Each of them work towards their own interests so be aware that you may find yourself pulled in different directions while achieving your goals at all times unless you are a sorcerer or Wizard.
