NTT DATA OFFER

I recently had offers from EY (26 LPA CTC) and NTT Data (22.8 LPA CTC), both offering interesting roles—EY with 21 LPA fixed, 20% variable, and a 1 Lakh joining bonus, and NTT Data with 20 LPA fixed and 14% variable for a remote BMW client project. When I shared my Photon offer (25 LPA fixed CTC) as a counter, the NTT Data recruiter dismissed it, claiming it had no joining date and uncertainty from the client. She said she could have matched it only if I had an offer like EY—essentially lowballing me. When I went back with EY’s offer, she again lowballed me, saying EY has high work pressure and that NTT Data is a better choice. Despite multiple attempts, she was not even ready to match EY’s offer. She then asked for my EY joining date, which was tomorrow (though EY was flexible for a week’s extension). Note: I have wrote extension in comment box due to text limit.
