30% Hike Negotiation

Hey folks, so I am a 2022 graduate and I'll try to make this short as much as possible: * I was giving interview at a company for backend dev * Over the period got promoted from MTS to SMTS with CTC correction from 12.8 to 14.74 at my current company * Last Friday did the cultural fitment round * After following up got a call from HR saying they'll update me by this weekend * However I updated her with the information regarding role change and CTC correction * Now she asked what'll be your expectations * First, she asked whether I could shift with the same CTC, but I was hesitant, she took it as no. * I asked what is your range? She said there is no range * I told her as per market standard, she said I'll take 30% to herself as of now So I need help here: * what can I tell her? Or should I tell her something before the weekend or not? * Should I ask her if it'll be senior role as I am a SMTS now? Also, this is the current salary range as per Glassdoor of this company: * Sr. backend: 25 * SDE: 15 + 6 Additional info for my current company: * My manager said that my base will be matched with SMTS in April which is 18-24 * Also heard the news that the company will not give appraisal to anyone in April

They are hiring like crazy, everyday 10 roles posted Either this is red flag and everyone is leaving Or it is actually hiring good

I got to know that budget for the role i interviewed is in range of 20-25 LPA. My last drawn salary itself is lower than the market standards. The company wouldn't give hike more than 30% considering my experience in the role domain. But I have performed well in all my interview rounds. Any tips from the community to negotiate for atleast the lower band of their budget?

I recently interviewed at a large company. I applied by sending my resume to someone in my network who works there and they forwarded the resume to HR. After that I got a call from HR and they asked for my expected salary among other things to which I answered that I want a 40% hike. I cleared all technical interviews and after that I got a mail saying that they would like to offer me a full time role and asked some of my documents to prepare an offer. I was curious about them asking for documents without having an HR round first so I called the HR and asked some details about the job and she ensured that they can give me a 40% hike on base but not on TC so I assumed they will hike my base and keep the other components in a similar range to what I currently have. I send the documents and on the next day I get a call from HR asking about my expected compensation again, I then ask about their salary structure and they explain that it's all fixed. I was confused on what number to give them so I said that I wanted a 40% hike but since my TC consists of variable components and theirs don't, I would like to know what is the maximum salary they could give me to which the HR replied that they will let me know in a while. It's been more than 24 hours and I haven't heard back. I don't want to call the HR because that might make me look desperate and give them a reason to lowball me but I'm not sure what to do and am even more confused about what kind of process is being followed at this company.

An example scenario: Let’s say my CTC is 34 LPA + annual stock payout of 5 Lakhs. My total yearly earning potential is 39 LPA. In the new role they don’t have a variable or stocks. Is it reasonable to ask for a 25% hike on the overall earning potential? So the new CTC is 49 LPA. I haven’t switched my employer in the past few years so currently is lacking the clarity on the way how negotiations are done. Kindly help by sharing the best practice.

I recently interviewed at an MNC and my interviews went great. They also gave a case study. At the time of final negotiation for salary, i asked for standard 40-45% hike. However they took some time and came back with an offer of almost 95%-100% and literally more than that if i include yearly fixed bonus component. This was a big surprise to me, and they states that we have done this taking care of pay parity, etc. I am very happy, However, i want to know is this common or happened with anyone else? Are there such good companies, people and HRs... Anyone having any thoughts on this?

How much percentage of hike can I ask for switching to Accenture as I have 7.3 years of experience for Data engineer role and 14.2 LPA fixed package. Can I ask for 60-70% of fixed hike which is around 22.5 L - 23.5 L fixed or even more ? Your suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How many folks here 100% refuse to share last salary and are adant that HR state their budget. How do you guys do it and also has it ever happened that you needed up losing a great opportunity coz of this???

So I recently gave an interview to a company, cracked it and got offered 50% hike but I was very hesitant joining there because they said they'll demote my role to a Jr Engineer, because they said my code wasn't as good as they wanted. The task was to add a new feature in their codebase, all I did was used the existing transformers, methods and I just wrote a new one for the feature they requested, it worked flawlessly without a single issue. So, their existing code had issues and they counted that into my assessment and said they'll reduce the salary promised on their job listing by 40%. So I first said yes, I was just looking that hike my my salary, later to omly realise, I keep seeking for validation when working there rather than working for shipping features. So, I actually turned it down. Did I do the right thing?
