Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

I'm puzzled by the relatively low compensation for HR professionals. Despite having 1.8 years of experience in HR and a current CTC of 4 LPA, I've found that potential employers are not offering a significant salary increase - not even 10%. I'm a postgraduate in Social Science from Jamia. Majority of companies I have applied there max budget is 30K only. What steps can I take to enhance my earning potential and secure a better CTC/hike on my CTC?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Why are HR professionals paid so low? With around 1.8 years of experience in HR and a current CTC of 4 LPA, I'm surprised that the companies I'm applying to are not offering even a 10% hike. Why are HR salaries so low? The majority of companies I'm applying for are having a budget 25-30K per month. I'm based out of Delhi NCR. What can I do to increase my CTC?

Recruiter: Will call you asking basic details, without knowing anything about the job description and team involved. When you ask any questions, they are always coming back with information, sometimes they don't too

Actual project team: more often than not, in need and if they like you they will communicate very clearly that we want you. When asked about benefits etc general response or always HR will connect.


HR: comes during negotiation time, will not anything about the role, will come with sole purpose of saving some bucks on CTC. More often than not, they will be the reason a candidate withdraws from process, or negotiation doesn't work, even though the actual team might be okay with negotiation.

This is my experience, HR is giving such a vague offer which looks good on paper but on hand it's nothing in terms of growth and pay increase. Same old CTC vs gross salary shenanigans. When negotiating the HR thinks I'm not worth it and asks for proofs of every deduction from current employer.
This is such a stark difference from the Actual team who interviewed me and were very good and open.

HRs , Recruiters & Actual team are always on different tangents

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.

Hi, I am a 21yr old interested in Talent Acquisition as a career path but I am also interested in making a lot of money (50LPA+) as I progress in the field. 

I’ve done my research using Glassdoor & Levels.fyi but I want to hear from real people on whether such a salary is possible in Talent Acquisition specifically at Director or Sr. Manager Level? (so like 10-15 years down the line for me). I know HRBP pays more but I can’t be arsed to plan parties (employee engagement) or keep attendance trackers (performance review), I enjoy matching talented people with the right companies more.

Most of the queries asked here should be sorted easily if an HR can respond with their insights, but i rarely see any HR participating in discussions, maybe we don't have that many HR's here ?

Or 

maybe you folks want to stay the same as you are on the job, totally useless.

Aren't there enough HR's users on grapevine? I hardly see you folks responding to queries?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have given interviews and cleared them.
I got a call from HR asking for payslips and another offer details.

They said they will get back with offer.

How to go about here? If they come with a lower offer than what i asked, how much liberty i have to ask further.
Does HR will come with 2-3 various levels of offer and then try to negotiate with me.

Any help or insights would be helpful in how HR comes with offer details.
My interviews were pretty good and i think they like me.

How does salary negotiation before offer work

Don't share payslips yet if possible. Do it after finalising your offer details. 
  
 What information have you shared? Current compensation? Expected range? Do you have any other offers in hand? 
  
 The game that follows now is that of leverage of information vs offer expiry timelines. 
  
 They will share an offer. You can call it "interesting" but don't share more details on if you like it or not - you need to "think more" before you can share your opinion. Say that you need to discuss it with your well-wishers and also evaluate compared to other opportunities. 
  
 Get back to them on email and call the offer "strong" (if it is really good) or "interesting" (for all other cases). Suggest some improvements to the offer that would make it more compelling for you. Don't guarantee that you will accept the offer if these things are provided (unless it's your last day till offer expiry). Keep negotiating with everyone that is interesting and keep dropping the non-interesting ones. 
  
 Also, don't call the negotiation discussions a "negotiation" - that word sounds negative. Call it "discussing offer details" or something. 
  
 FYI: All of these tips are from the highly popular negotiation blog posts by Haseeb. They've worked well for me.

I wanted to know if a person has 3 years of experience i.e., 2 in social media management and 1 year in HR 
Is 20k per month good in Mumbai? 
Should I look for other opportunities? 
I don't have any friends in the field so hence no idea about the salary that a person gets on this level
Thanks already!

Is 20k per month justifiable for an HR Executive position for a person with 3 years of experience

13.5 Lakh CTC - 4 YOE is good?

Hey Folks, I hope you all are doing extremely well.

Wanna get some idea about market pay and the hike I’m getting in a e-commerce company. 

Worked as a DevOps/Software Engineer for 5 yrs and CCTC is around 30-32 LPA. New company is ready to offer around 42. 

Is it good offer or should I check for more companies?

I know some startup’s are paying like anything and this offer seems to be trivial for 5 yrs experience, but just wanted to know if I should be pursuing this offer or not?

Thanks in advance folks, Have fun! 🤩

Is 42 LPA a good offer for YoE - 5 yrs?

1) I’m an HR Business Partner. 
2) Experience - 2 Years and 9 months. 
3) Worked at my first company for 2 Years then switched to another org for 50% Hike in last November.
4) Next Week Joining a New Org at 16,00,000 LPA (15.2L Fixed, rest Variable)

I have no recruiting experience and my MBA is from Christ University. 

Planning to start a business all the whole climbing the corporate ladder quickly.

Help guys. Any and all input will be appreciated.

Help me benchmark my salary

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.

Analytics/Data Science compensation and job market

Hi fellow designers, I am a brand & graphic designer who worked at a smaller design studio for the last 5 years or so. I am now looking to join an in-house brand team in a big start-up/corporate. In my previous company, since it was a smaller design studio, I was getting paid less compared to what startups and corporates pay their designers.

Will my previous lower-than-market-rate-salary affect my ability to get a good CTC now? What is a good CTC expectation for a senior brand & graphic designer with 5-6 years of good work experience?
