Most of the conversation will be driven by the manager only. 
  
 One thing I suggest is to create a brag document( document with details of all the projects/tickets/issues you have worked on). 
 It should have : problem statement, your approach, impact. 
  
 Maybe 3-4 good projects should be fine. 
  
 Also include a personal development section in it: certifications/ courses you have done, webinars/talks/meets you have attended. 
  
  
 This may help you get your expected hike if manager gives you less than expected.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

It is my first full time job as a Software Engineer (DevOps) in a Bangalore based startup in FinTech domain. How the appraisal process works and how I can be prepared to secure the best. Any insights would definitely help 🙏🏻

I’m a software engineer at a mid size company. I have 1y3mo of work ex. Appraisals are around the corner, and although the work is great, the pay not so much. I earn less than 10LPA. How much of a hike should I deserve in this market assuming I have done a good job.

Hai All
working in a service based company around 4 years of exp CTC 8 LPA. Able to land an offer from a startup company with 12 LPA
since I am in notice period, I got many calls from other service based companies  WITCH. I clearly mentioned that I'm expecting 15 -17 LPA as a Backend developer which they said was okay. But after all the interview rounds they are not going more than 14 LPA and during negotiation there are trying to put guilt on my side (why are you switching after having an offer, 4 years we can't give more than 13Lpa )

I just want to know how to negotiate  well during discussions

SALARY Negotiation

I am a React Native Developer in an average insurance (product based) company and I have just completed 1st year of my career in this company and I have handled around 5 product module of their products, basically I made it all from scratch. My salary is 4.6LPA. Now I am about to get an appraisal here but I have no idea how much I should ask or negotiate with them!?

How much raise should I ask after having 1 year of exp as an app developer(React Native)

I have been working for my current employer for over 2 years as PM. Most of the employees haven't received any formal appraisal over the years. The company is going through some of the financial stress till last Dec. But it seems things are getting back in order as no more salary delays at my level.

I have heard and confirmed that few have received salary hikes either due to retention or other ways.

Searching for a job over the past 1 year but unable to land any yet. Its getting difficult to manage financially living on rent in mumbai, committing everyday to office and all.

HOW COULD I CONVINCE CEO OR WHAT SHOULD I WRITE THEM TO PURSUE THIS. PLS HELPPPP....🥺

Soon I am going to have a meeting with my manager about my salary increment. 
Is there something that I should know/prepare before or any rule of thumb?
I don't know, this is my first time and I am feeling nervous about it.

Are there any rule of thumbs that I should know before going to a meeting about my increment

I'm currently working at a startup in Bangalore. Consider that they are paying me X LPA. All fixed. I've total experience of Mar-October as Intern and October - Present as SDE1. So overall experience of 8 months. This means that my appraisal is due in next 4 months. As per our appraisal policy and as per conversation with my manager I'll receive around 50% of hike. So that will make my CTC as X + 5. But the catch here is that the project which I'm working at is fucked up and this project has highest attrition. Very bad client and constant abuses and abnormal working hour around 12-13 hours daily. Evrything is fucked up and I don't enjoy working here in this project. Project change is also out of question as no one will take this.

I've received an offer from Health startup eka.care but they are offering X+3 that too with lot of negotiation. The work culture is superb, the tech stack is fun and great, people are nice and team is highly qualified and great. 

I don't know what to do? I don't want to keep switching the companies every now and then. It's true that current org is paying and they will pay even more post appraisal but the work is not good and I don't like the work. New org work is good and I really want to join but they are not paying great, I mean the 30% hike is decent but if they pay X+3 then I would have to look for job again after 8-9 months because I'll be really needing money at end of 2025.

My total experience:
8 months - If intern can be counted then 14 months.

Please suggest me what to do? If I constantly switch in 6/8 months then that would deter other recruiters to contact me because I've made very unstable choices. I'm confused what to do, if any of you have been in such situations then please suggest.

Should I prioritise money? Work? Both? What about my profile? So much confusion is there and really I'm awaiting your inputs.

Confused on what to do next

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Is it possible to negotiate for a higher hike during my appraisals? 
I’ve never done this. Just asking for opinion/advice.

Product Manager

Need advice from the community.

I had my performance review with my manager last week. The broad feedback was something like this- in her mind, if I'm given any task, she knows it will be done and done well, meeting all expectations. She acknowledged that I'm sincere, hard working and don't cut any corners with my work. But will the task be done ++, she wasn't sure.

I've been moving from fighting one fire to the other and never really got a chance to settle in one project, barring one, which my boss says I truly aced. Most of my colleagues believe I've done a stellar job and deserve the top rating but I didn't get that from my manager. 

My last 1:1 was almost 6 months back and all this time I never really got an indication that 'more' was expected. In fact when I was pulled into projects the only thing I was told was to 'look into this and resolve' without clear goals.

I understand this year reviews are tight at most startups but I was left wondering where this came from and what to make out of it. I'm due for another discussion next week. 

Any advice on how to proceed?

Hi everyone, 2023 IIT Grad here, working in ServiceNow since July 2023. 
Current Base: 15L
I have around 7-8 months of experience here and over a year of experience at Startup and Servicenow being a Software Engineering jntern, at startup, I was almost a full time, leading projects on my own. 

I recently had a 1:1 with one of my teammate, he is couple of years senior and has a base of 24L. He told me you have been working really good, so in this upcoming March, you can either ask for a promotion OR for a good hike. 
I have heard, in ServiceNow, promotion or hikes happen only once a year. 

Then I talked to someone with 7-8 yoe, he told me it won’t be good to talk about this when you have just joined that is, 7-8 months ago. He said take whatever they give you.

I need community’s views should I talk to my manager about this OR Should I let it go? My friends at other companies are making 20+. I didn’t sit for placements because of PPO. 

Please advise. Thank you!
