Got an offer from a MNC but they annual income just match existing company (consider 5% increment for next yr). And i will burn my bonus coz i am leaving early next year. Resign this week and last day mid Jan 2020.
But I am definately leaving because of no progression.
Question is should i negotiate for a higher starting salary with the MNC company?
Does HR in MNC company normally allow for such negotiation?
I worry negotiating will result in bad impression with future boss.
Edit:
New role is doing Bidding/Tender in the similar industry which my experience can bring over.

OP probably already don't need this advice. But for future young folks with similar question - ALWAYS NEGOTIATE YOUR OFFER. No, the boss or HR will not have a bad impression of you if you negotiate. Don't be naive - the first offer is always the opening bid - just be polite to ask for more. If you are polite but confident there is no reason for them to be offended.
When switching jobs, 20% salary bump is normal... otherwise why waste your time? Keep looking until you find another suitable job that will give you at least some increment before you move.
