What are the other factors you are looking for - are you optimizing for money or other stuff ?

If other stuff, are you okay with same salary? Then maybe yes.

If for money, sure do ask for more money. 

It would be a waste for recruiter too if you won't be joining.  You can clear the salary aspect. This is according to your situation.  In other situation, this might not be the case.

But I hope it's ok to ask more than what has been mentioned in the JD right?

Ofcourse. You know the range upfront but it will clarify whether they are willing to increase salary for you. It's not like you are burning bridges.

You can definitely ask more. If they think you are really good and fit the role perfectly, they will think of going beyond their budget. 
Let's say they did not, it would not mean that you are not a good fit. It just means they have tight budget. So if you think the role would help you learn and upskill significantly then you can take the job at the offered CTC. The skills will help you get more salary in future.

I am interested in a company but the salary range is a little low. 

Should I apply and ask the recruiter for a salary increase? (The salary range is the same as what I am currently earning so it doesn't make sense for me to switch for the same salary).

PS: I can easily make it into the role.

Can I ask for a higher salary?

I was recently transferred from one role (non-tech) to another (non-tech) within the organisation. I'm a fresher. Do you guys suggest that I ask for a salary hike?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hello everyone,

Seeking advice on a potential job switch and compensation. I am currently employed as a Lead Business Analyst(Total Exp:6 Years) at a US-based edtech company with a fixed CTC of 25 LPA. My skill set includes Tableau, SQL, Python, Automations, Statistical Analysis, and Stakeholder Management. Lately, I've noticed a lack of substantial job calls, and the few I've received are capped at ~27 LPA. Some recruiters even claim that I'm already in a higher salary band, which I believe might not be accurate. I'm curious if anyone has insights into potential reasons for this, whether it's related to my skill set, the current job market, or other factors. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Analyst

I am SDE and I joined a company 2.5 months back. I don't like the work that I am doing and the company is far from being profitable+ a huge cash burn + management is not good.
I interviewed with some other company and they have offered me a role. On paper it's an upgraded role but they are offering the exact salary as the current one + some esops.

Would you accept the offer if you were in my place?

Some general info:
1. Hate the work I am doing currently, the knowledge I get here can't be used in other companies.
2. Work is slow, not learning anything new
3. New company seems good from outside till now, have to validate with ex-employees
4. New company has Hybrid work, current is WFO
5. Have another offer which is paying a bit more than the 'new company' but don't want to join it, These guys are not matching the offer sadly

Should I switch again?

I know I deserve more, as I have been constantly delivering more than what's expected out of me. But I still feel - I'm not compensated well for my hard-work and skill. 

My take-home is 20+LPA, and I have 6 yrs of experience.

And moreover the workplace is not challenging anymore for me as an individual contributor. Most of my time rn is getting spent in training other people. 

I have contemplating to ask for a hike. Or should I just switch?

Hello folks, 
When applying for roles, I have seen HRs asking for your current CTC and expectations. Some even ask to share Fixed+Variable components.

I have read that it is illegal in some countries but nothing about India. Is it so common in India to share these details. And if I wish to not share, do they drop my candidature for screening round?

Sharing your CTC with HR

System Engineer

I’ve been laid off dew days ago for cost cutting. My current TC is ~30LPA with 4 Years of experience. I’m happy with this TC but now that I’m also switching and seeing current market conditions should I ask for raise over it or just say to match current comp to recruiters?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

It'll take 2 mins to read!!

Hey all, so I've done my Engg. in automobile and after that got an opportunity to work at XYZ company as an Analyst in "Master Data Management" domain almost completing two years now (usually work on automobile components data for the company's e-commerce website, where we sell the parts). 

Now, my manager has approached me to take up this project/process "Supplier Risk and Sustainability Management", which is very different from what I do currently. Mind you, I worked on this project temporarily for a quarter last year, as it was new to India. 

The company hired a person for that project and he took over, now the thing is he has put down his papers, and business owners now want me in their team. While my pay is just 27k, I asked them that I need at least 55-60k in hand, but my manager said it might not be possible, at max 15-20% increase.


Fam, please guide me on what should I do here, and what is the future scope for this role, while being from an Engg. background. 
(My goal is to work on Manufacturing x Data Analytics)

Need some advice.

I work for a early stage startup (A) right now since about 1.5yrs at base 18lpa (no appraisal since my tenure even though I was told they have a bi-annual cycle, but It never happened)

I have another company (B), willing to offer base 28lpa (but will require relocation). 

I still haven't interviewed at B, and was wondering if i can should talk to A asking for an appraisal? I'm also not sure if i should mention about B at all. 

How much i understand A will be like let us launch something and then we can talk about appraisals, but this has been going on since a year now and we tend to change the architecture or the methodology everytime we almost have something ready to ship. 


That being said still I'd rather stay at A than relocate for B at the moment. 

How should I go about this, any suggestions? TIA

How should I ask for a raise?

I've been working for two years in my current company. Overall 5 years of experience.

I'm getting enough learning opportunities here and got promoted last year. 
Not having too much expectations with the annual hike, should I consider switching to another company for compensation purpose?

Please guide with some reasons...
