From my personal experience, the only thing you can negotiate is your basic salary. Go with a counteroffer explaining that you deserve more than what you were offered with facts supporting your assertions, and you should get a small raise. You can also claim your WIA if you convince them that you're a westerner and planning to move back to the US after your India stint. Don't be too greedy and know that your counteroffer will be your last as they will come back with a final offer. Ask for a reasonable raise and you'll find a common ground. Besides, is there anyone who knows the maximum of basic salary within grade 16 at QP? Good luck
