Extra 20-25k for a month would be minimum I guess

Depending on your seniority, anywhere between 10 to 30% increment of your in hand salary would be required for cost of living parity.

Hike query- Grapevine

I got a job opportunity from HDFC bank. The job expects me to shift to Mumbai from Bangalore WFH currently. The pay is 30LPA  is it worth considering it according to the cost of living in Mumbai ? Seriously heard it's very costly not been there. And currently I'm working in a Consulting firm is it the right move to consider. Will it be good for my career ?

By the way it's going to be my 3 switch in 5 years just looking to settle where there stability and no layoffs 

Please advise is it worth considering an Indian private bank

I've 1 YOE, my current in hand is 8.3 LPA with a permanent remote option. What should be a minimum increment below which I should not even consider that option. I'm assuming whatever offers I'll get they are going to onsite and mostly in BLR/NCR . On a CTC of 12 LPA I don't think it will improve my savings considering the cost of living in metro cities and since I live with my parents so current cost is almost zero. In terms of work life balance and culture I'm happy with my current company.

What should be the minimum hike to consider the switch?

My previous organisation was 100% remote, I have got two offers, one of them providing around 40% hike.

the other option is giving lesser base hike but I can take approvals for 100% remote. (need to convince manager, that I can work independently)


What would you choose? Help me understand your POV? 


My Take - 
Many people hate the life in bangalore but harsh truth is we don’t have many opportunities in NCR. Eventually people move to Bangalore.

NCR folks, would you move to bangalore for ~40% base hike?

Growth Manager

I'm currently in the growth marketing field and based in Delhi. I've recently received job offers from both Mumbai and Bangalore, and I'm trying to decide where to move. I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences about living in these cities. How is living cost and social life there?

Do suggest me on the same, will be moving in next month, need expertise on the same.

How much of a hike should one expect while switching roles (for a PM role)

I have started giving interviews and the expected CTC i had mentioned was with a 40% hike. Nope, i have received my appraisal in the range of 15%, due to good performance. Should I revise my expected CTC? How does this usually work?

I will be moving to Banglore for my first job, curious to know the cost of living in Bangalore.

Please share your rent and food expenses :)

Associate Product Manager

I’m ML Engineer with 3 YOE (20LPA Base) currently based in Bangalore, and interviewing for a startup in Mumbai for Senior MLE role. During my initial conversation with HR, I told that my expectation would be 25LPA (I think I lowballed myself) and HR told that the budget is at max 25, so if I would be willing to negotiate. Honestly, at that time my only motivation was to get out of my current organisation. Now I feel that I should have asked for more, and after 3 rounds of interview, and evaluating the living expenses in Mumbai compared to BLR, I feel I should have asked for more. I’m going on friday  to their office for final interview with leadership, and offer most likely would be made straight after that. How do I get the best compensation possible in this situation? 

P.S. In another grapevine post, someone mentioned that a PM working there is making 20LPA with 2YOE, and suggested I should be asking for more.
