Why do you even want to tell them your previous salary? Don't mention it until the last round.  Once they are convinced they are ready to hire you, negotiate your salary based on your performance.  Then if they ask previous salary, share pay slip.  That's all!

Okay so IF they ask me my salary in the first round - then I can say that I'll be happy to disclose that later? Is that acceptable in US?

You say you aren't comfortable Sharing your salary at this point of time.

Consultant

Am also working for a US based startup thdy didnt ask me for my previous salary.  
 And they did the background check after 3 months of my joining. That too just for name sake via a 3rd party. That 3rd party asked my payslips.  
 My suggestion is they might not ask for ur salary if they ask also you can skip it politely. 
  
 unrelated question - How did u get an interview at that new startup?

How did you get your interview with this US based startup?

If not today the chances are that they will find out sooner than later. Its better to be transparent. If they have the budget, then I dont think it will be a question of your previous salary

I make $50k USD in my current job and I am interviewing for a role in a US based startup. Their salary range for the role is mentioned to be $80-120k. 

My ideal target is $100k with them. Shall I inflate my current salary to let's say $75k in the hope of an easier negotiation to $100k? 

Can they do a background salary check in India? They are a tiny team of <10 folks. 

The above thought is obviously under the assumption that they can't verify my salary in India and/or would not be bothered about it. 

Is my assumption correct? And if yes then is my approach correct?

Salary negotiation! HELP!!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Currently in talks with the CEO of a small international startup (less than 10 total members spread across 4 countries). My existing profile is an exact match for what they are looking for in a candidate (they are implementation partners of my existing company's software). 
I am pretty close to closing it but now he wishes to know my existing salary. I tried to avoid sharing it but he wants to know it before quoting anything to me. 
I wish to get a huge raise (80-100%) since i will be moving from a known brand to an unknown startup with all the skills they need and more from Day 1. 
Any tips on how I can handle this situation?

How to avoid disclosing current salary

Had the first (exploration) call with my would-be boss and HR lead to figure out which role I would fit in. Company is an MNC startup, best culture ive heard of, lots of friends working there in different verticals etc. I usually dont reveal salary this early on but it was a very quick call and they asked about it and I felt like I had to this time to not come off as a snob or stuck up.

Chances are low and I am okay pushing back but Im paranoid about getting lowballed now. Any advice on how to better my chances in the upcoming rounds? Greatly appreciate any help

Revealing salary in the first round. Yay or nay?

It depends on where you are in terms of the compensation spectrum. It can definitely lead to bias if your current salary is not on the higher side. 
  
 For too long, I have played this back and forth game of revealing salary and asking them for budget and frankly, it’s too tiring in Indian recruitment circles. 
  
 So, I have started just being honest from the beginning about my current pay & expectation and have seen recruiters be transparent about their budgets too. 
 Eventually if a company has to lowball they anyway would, but I am glad that I don’t have to exercise so much cognitive effort playing this game of riddles

I recently got a job offer at a well-funded remote startup headquartered in the US as a DevOps engineer. They adjust the salary package to account for the country so I won't be earning in crores... but I wanted to ask people who are in remote positions as to how to negotiate a salary that will be rigid more or less,no options are there to negotiate till a super high margin (maybe 10% max).

For example, they are offering 33 LPA currently, does that put me in a higher tax bracket and can I negotiate for a lower compensation so that I can be put in a lower tax bracket, say I ask for 29 LPA and ask for a joining bonus (or HRA) or some restructuring to do that? 

I don't understand how taxes work in India especially with remote payments but I'm hoping someone can offer the right guidance and resources so that I can look into this in depth later on as well. This is my first ever job and I got it straight out of college, so I do not mind even if they are paying me less than their US counterparts. This salary is more than enough to survive in a tier 2 city (will be shifting back to live with my parents).

I don't have much investments right nos, just a couple of FDs and some equity + debt funds along with stocks (mostly banks + chemical companies here and there). I can look into ELSS funds and what not if that can save up some taxes. I am considering talking to a CA about this too.

(Note: not comfortable with naming it even if this is an anonymous platform because it has like a strength of 50 and I feel it is irrelevant to the discussion).

TIA!

Tax savings and salary question for remote jobs

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello,
I am expecting an offer letter from a company based outside India. They are quoting their salary figures in USD. 
I wanted to get an idea from the members of this group about the things to keep in mind while being paid in USD.
How much would I have to pay in conversion fees? Or does the employer typically take care of that?

I would need to provide them with invoices every month, for which they will pay me. So I have to take care of the tax on my own.

Does this mean that PF is not an option or can I deposit PF myself somehow?

What other kind of issues should I keep in mind?

Salary from Foregin Based Startup

Mechanical Engineer

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Guys,
I have 8 years of IT experience out of which , 2.5 in azure. I got a call from Capegemni HR , saying there's an azure opening, asked for my current and expected CTC. I said the current is 7 LPA and expected is 20 LPA. It's a hybrid role with 3 days working from the office. She said it is not possible, Max they can give is 10-13. I am in Kerala,and have a baby under 1. I have to relocate if I get it. I don't think it is fair salary.

Is it ok if we don't tell when they're asking for our current salary based on which they will give max 100% if we perform exceptionally in the interview.

Or how can I deal this?

Thanks in advance.

What should be my fair salary ask?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

A friend is applying to a US-based unicorn startup. The role is remotely based out of India. First PM from India.

The average SPM salary available online is in $. Comes around $150-250k. No PMs are based in India, and expats are not replying on LinkedIn.  

The PPP comparison makes the average salary in INR go high. Any idea what number could one quote for the role?

Need help on Salary

I have 6 years experience. My current base/fixed is 60 LPA. (I also got a 5 lakh bonus and 5 lakh of my ESOPs vested this year making my total vested about 30 lakh. So the total comp is 70). 

I'm being offered a senior engineer position in an early stage startup (as part of the founding engineer team). They haven't given an offer yet.

Being early stage, the emphasis will most likely be on ESOPs. How do I evaluate this and set my expectations? (If I were to switch to a mature company, I believe the hikes usually are between 15-20%? How does this work for early stage startups?)
