If you can get an industry benchmarks report (not all roles in India have proper benchmarking) from a reputed publisher, you can use it to support your case.  Depends on a lot of other factors but this might be useful in companies do not budge for negotiations based on an offer. Good luck.

I don't think there are industry benchmarks in India. Do you know any ?

Is there any other way apart from getting an offer from another company in hand and then asking your manager for a counter offer ?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

In August, I joined a new organization following the closure of my previous one. Things are going exceptionally well – my manager is pleased with my performance, and I'm learning a great deal. Workload is manageable, and during a casual web browse, I discovered high-paying job openings in my field. Now, I'm contemplating whether pursuing interviews is the right move, given the rare opportunities. I've had one-year stints at two previous companies; I'm curious about the potential impact on my career. Appreciate your insights.

HR is is trying to lowball me into accepting an offer at my current compensation stating market conditions. I don’t have any other offers yet. What can be done here? 🥲

Salary Negotiation

Product Manager

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

In this year's appraisal cycle, I got a good performance rating but bad hike and no promotion 😔
Currently multiple projects are highly dependant on me, and it will be difficult for the company to find a good replacement (Subtle flex, but it's true), and due to this I feel like I'm underpaid at my current level.

Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you negotiate a better salary? Should I look for a better offer outside and ask my current org if they can match it or resign? Because next appraisal/promotion will only happen a year later from now.

Please share your experience of negotiating better salary at current org by getting a better offer outside, how did it go and what was the outcome?

So I interviewed with a company two months ago, after all the formalities were done, I received a response from the HR that I have cleared all the rounds. But the requirements for the position they were hiring me for suddenly changed and they asked me to wait for a while until a new position positions opens up matching my tech stack. At that time I was about to be released from a project in my current company so getting the notice period reduced to 2 months was not that much of a hassle. 
Today, the HR called me again telling me that a new position has been opened up and if I am available to join I can join. My official period is of 90 days and now I have been allocated to a new project in my current company.
I have been wanting to switch since so long because of variety of reasons. But the problem now is the notice period in my current company. The HR is very strict about joining within the 60 days but I am not getting any vibe that my current manager is going to reduce my notice period.

Please suggest if there are any ways out of it.

Thanks in advance!!

How to get the notice period reduced?

Software Developer

Just a curious question.

If i have 2 companies with almost the same offer(12 LPA), both are start-ups. Can I negotiate with 1 of them that I have another offer of around 14 LPA. And if yes do they ask for proof before joining or after?

POV: It's my first switch?

Negotiation doubt

I joined my company couple of months back. I’m 2023 passout and previously i had an intern experience at a startup, i gave interview of SAP Labs because i was not sure of my PPO. In the HR round of SAP Labs HR asked me about the salary I’m expecting at SAP, i told her “X” and after getting that number she told me she would get back to me after discussing it with manager, but after couple of days she offered me “T” which was way less than “X” . I knew she was tryna low ball me but as i did not had any other offer in my hand, I had to accept it. But with the salary that I’m getting (ik it is less than my peers) i just don’t feel like giving my full at my work it just demotivates me, should i talk to my manager about this? because while joining my manager thought i joined at “X” ctc but I never revealed this, also i do not have an idea what exactly should i convey to my manager. Please help me out

Annual CTC

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.

Getting anxious when I look at CTCs!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

A little background info before I get into the details:

I have left appraisals at the table (twice) to pursue better opportunities which offered me a varied job role. I am now stuck at the same organization for two years and my appraisal conversation has been going on for 7 months. Ridiculous, I know. This company has no growth prospects. I have not grown in the last two years in any aspect. Regret the day I left the appraisal & job promotion at my previous organization to join this company.

Naturally, I've started my job search and have landed a few offers but no one seems to offer me more than 30% and I need to correct my salary. 

How's the best way to ensure I get a package that can offer over 30%? I need atleast 45-50% to correct my salary.

Social Media Manager

Hi folks, I’m grossly underpaid and my work output + impact warrants a promotion and a fat hike imo. But being told that this is not possible mid year. What can I do to make it happen? Haven’t had a proper conversation regarding this with manager yet.

How to ask for a promotion/hike mid year?

I know current market is not approving this but based on the skills it should be acceptable. If the current ctc would have been good then why would someone switch. Please suggest some advices to mention how to not reveal the cctc till the offer is received. Lately for scheduling interviews also companies ask for cctc and ectc before taking even a single round how to tackle all these and also can we mention more than our cctc?

I am and Android application developer with 10 years of experience. I am working in Tech Mahindra since 2017 Oct. 

They are paying me just 9LPA , paying 18 approx to new joinees with half of my experience. 

Management assured me that my salary would be revised but it didn't. 

I am sad about what happened to me.

So since past few days, I'm getting feeling that they are going to sack my manager and are going to promote me to his level. They have already started sharing sheets with me whose access I didn't had earlier. It's a team of 6-7 designers, and I'm senior among them. Now, if they promote me toh manage this team, how should I ask for hike? What important things should I highlight so that I can make a good case for myself? Should I let them give me additional responsibilities and wait till june-July for appraisal? 
 Appreciate all suggestions

How to do salary negotiations

Hello everyone... I'm working in an early stage startup, things with my product team are really good but with the rest of the team like tech, marketing & sales it's really toxic...and I witness that toxicity regularly not directly but indirectly & from time to time I have to witness the same toxicity during stakeholder meeting plus the office vibe is also not that good kind of drains my energy 
Now when I tried to put down my papers my manager tried to give me a good raise currently I'm at 8 LPA with 1 year of experience & he is giving me a raise of 50% (12 LPA)
Now I'm really confused about what to do...need suggestions
