Appraisal reality

Hike Graph is on a roller coaster ride since covid. With nothing certain about the Interest Rates & Inflation. What is your company offering & What all factors they look at during the appraisal cycle ?

Is 10% appraisal good for top performers or is the company lowballing?

This question is for 5 years experience and appraisal will be applied on a pro rata basis. So, is the 8-9% hike justifiable? Pro rata will be measured on the percentage so it will come around 4% only.

I'm part of a sales team at a Series A startup that recently secured new funding. I have made a vital contribution to the revenue created. Aiming for a 30% hike (on the fixed) in the upcoming appraisal – any tips on how to approach it?

What was your increment percentage? Are you happy with it?

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!

This is my first job and here my manager has scheduled a one on one meeting for Annual Appraisal. I want to know what I should expect in this meeting. Thanks!

I have been working in my company for over 4 years now, each time it's time for Appraisals I am told the company cannot go beyond 7%. But I have progressed in my role through the years and I have delivered excellent growth results this year when the context has been dull. I am super frustrated it could end up with being handed a 7% increment and of course a football to take home, especially after my meeting with my manager. It's getting to me now!

How much % are you expecting this time? Last time I got scammed by bs reasons and got single digit. What should I do if get to hear these again? Also let me tell you this, along with BS reasons they tend to give ESOPs 🤦🏾
