216% salary hike in job change - good or bad?
hey, so i currently earn 6lpa and applied for a job at a bigger company and they offered me 12 lpa even though i applied for a role with 3+ years of experience while i had about 6 months of full time experience and a substantial amount of freelance experience. They offered me a job of PD 1 of which i checked the salary range to be 12 lpa max for someone with 1 year of experience.
I got them down to 13 lpa but then they asked if i will join if it's under 14 lpa and i said no.
they said they'll get back to me if it's a positive but i haven't heard from them now and it also involves switching cities from blr ro mumbai.
was it a stupid move? how can i fix this and also negotiate for a signing bonus and a relocation bonus?
TLDR current ctc : 6 lpa offered ctc : 13 lpa requires relocation from blr to mumbai turned it down due asking for 14 lpa how to fix this and ask for relocation and signing bonus?

in my defense 13 just seems like a bad decision as i get in the low end if a higher tax bracket, the work life balance and importance of design is also not great at this company, which i was ready to deal with for something like 18 lpa

Relocation plus living costs need to be factored in. I think you made a fair choice. If the company can afford it, they'll go ahead.
