Any strategy that you can share?
I am currently in a job and the pay will be determined by the grade you are in.

Most salary ranges are very wide, you can't just automatic assume your salary should be at mid point or higher.
The more important thing is also about the budget they have for the headcount and also how desperate they need you.
If this is a big MNC with good prospect and you intend to stay long term, I suggest you better not try stunt just to make a few hundred $$$ extra. If you lie by saying you have another higher offer and they refuse to budge, you will look stupid in front of your boss and hr when you sheepishly accept the supposed "lower" pay offer.
