Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey Folks,

Need a suggestion from y'all - if I am trying to hire a person for my team and out of 1 year, 6 months I have slogged alone without finding the right person, should I ask for a mid cycle hike when I got the hike for the lead position in April? Does it sound fair?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have two offers in my hand. I want to counter offer in my current company. I have performed very well last year, and the project has some dependency on me. Any negotiation tips?

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?

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a software engineer with 1 year of professional experience and about 2 years of experience counting all my freelance gigs as well as internships.

I’ve identified that I’m good at picking up new technologies easily. I’m also very detail oriented and tend to find the moat optimal solutions even though my current position only expects me to follow the PRD provided by my tech lead.

I find that most of the times, I have had to raise my concerns to my seniors for a change of an approach with me being correct almost all the time by the end of the discussion.

Now I feel confused, that maybe I was being underestimated and therefore underpaid by my employer.

Context: I switched to this company about 6 months ago with a package of 12 LPA and got a mere 5% hike to 12.65 LPA during last month with a promotion from being a technical associate -> software development engineer.
During my meeting with the manager, i was told that my performance was ‘very good’ but since its been only 6 months, they are giving me a promotion to match my skills but not give me a good hike.

Any thoughts?

CTC check

I had resigned from my previous org couple of months back I have 1 year 4 months of full time experience for a frontwnd developer role.. My previous comp was 13 LPA fixed, I got an offer from another company, they are giving me 16 LPA fixed (remote). Is this a good hike? It's not even 23% increment. Usually I have seen people getting atleast 50% increment on their previous withdrawn salary while switching and sometimes even more. People get more than this during annual increment. And also this job is remote while most of the jobs are in Bengaluru and there comes additional living expense cost if I take a job in Bengaluru with a offer more than 16LPA. Please help me how should I go about this given the market situation. I was expecting around 18LPA in this company even if it is remote.

Backend Engineer

Hey folks, so I am a 2022 graduate and I'll try to make this short as much as possible:

* I was giving interview at a company for backend dev
* Over the period got promoted from MTS to SMTS with CTC correction from 12.8 to 14.74 at my current company
* Last Friday did the cultural fitment round
* After following up got a call from HR saying they'll update me by this weekend
* However I updated her with the information regarding role change and CTC correction
* Now she asked what'll be your expectations
   * First, she asked whether I could shift with the same CTC, but I was hesitant, she took it as no.
   * I asked what is your range? She said there is no range
   * I told her as per market standard, she said I'll take 30% to herself as of now

So I need help here: 

* what can I tell her? Or should I tell her something before the weekend or not?
* Should I ask her if it'll be senior role as I am a SMTS now?

Also, this is the current salary  range as per Glassdoor of this company:

* Sr. backend: 25
* SDE: 15 + 6

Additional info for my current company:

*  My manager said that my base will be matched with SMTS in April which is 18-24
* Also heard the news that the company will not give appraisal to anyone in April

Got promoted during an interview, what to expect as CTC?

Hi All,

I Joined this Irish-American tech consulting company  in 2021 with a 130% hike & 3.8 YOE. 
I learnt a lot of new things and made some really good connections within 1.5 years.Now the work has been saturated to a point where I no longer write code , but only review it while approving the prs of juniors. Also I don't like the way the people at the client side run the project. 
Even if I ask for a change in a project I know for a fact that either it will take at least 6 months or the other project will be mostly like be support work.  
Please help me come up with a polite reason that's not about higher education or salary. 
I have an offer from Deloitte and TCS currently with a 50 % hike.

Reason to resign from a good company.

Data engineer

I am working with Oracle from last 2 years on IC3 position with no hike. Recently, I received an offer from another product based company with 50% hike. But now My team is planning to retain me with same offer and IC4 promotion.

What should I do? Should I stay or resign ?

Hi Grapeviners

Recently got a hike of mere 2%, even after working day and night and delivering projects on time.

I was hoping for a good hike and a promo. Some politics from business and HR really screwed my case. 

Should i talk to:
1. HR: Raise the issue and tell them that i'm unhappy and make it official
2. Talk to Manager, now that genie is the out of the box, I don't think they can do much

How do you end up dealing with a situation like this?

Unhappy with the hike i got

I'm in Founder's office role, and a part of the work requires prospecting for hires for a team. 
On the first day, I pulled out a list of potential hires, but it was brushed aside.

Now the team head posts on social media that they are looking for someone to fill that role (I had list for), and referral will get the approx INR 2.4L 

My monthly salary is also not INR 2.4L!

I am so pissed. 
How do I convey this professionally and (also ask for the slice of cake)

I obviously have data ready and can get someone to join, but it won't get me even 1 p from 2.4L

Need advice

Consultant

I have 2 offers for an SDE-1 position and I'm not able to choose between them.

Offer 1: 
Pros: Large product based US company. Work is tech stack agnostic which I was looking for since I wanted to move out of my current stack. I've heard it's chill.
Cons: Salary is lower than what was discussed initially. After I cleared all interviews, I didn't have a proper discussion about salary from the HR which kind of seems like a red flag.

Offer 2:
Pros: 15% higher salary. People were more friendly and more open to questions and discussions, I feel they treated me with more respect. I could have a greater learning opportunity there maybe.
Cons: STARTUP. Tech stack is similar to the one I'm currently using and it's not the best choice for scalable and maintainable services. More hectic. More stress. More responsibilities. They haven't raised a lot of funding so I'm a bit unsure about my future there.

Any opinion on what I should go with?

Confused between 2 offers

Hi guys,
I am currently working as an APM at an AI startup(B2B SAAS) working on genAI product. Have 2 YOE and base of 20 LPA.
Looking to switch due to growth barrier and work culture. 
Have given interviews with startups in similar domain for APM roles but getting ghosted after 3-4 rounds. I am looking for 20-30% hike.
Am i asking too much?
Any suggestions?

Background:
B.Tech from IIT Delhi
Current CTC:21Lpa
YOE- 2 yrs

APM salary

I am currently an APM with a startup. Recently completed 1 year in my current org. 
Total work ex: 2years
In my prior org worked as a product analyst.
Current comp:23LPA

I am unable to decide when shall i ask my manager for a promotion. I have completed 1 year as an APM and done pretty well in my current org.
I am working on a highly impo/prestigious project. Earlier thought to ask after the project would be successfully implemented but now i feel that might backfire as the success of the project is unknown.

What do you guys suggest?

Right time to ask for promotion

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 should I ask for salary hike if they are replacing my manager with me

Product Designer

I find myself in a rather perplexing situation at work and could use some impartial advice. Currently, I am employed at an Indian e-commerce firm where I have put in a lot of hard work. However, during the recent annual cycle, I was not promoted, and my salary hike was disappointingly meager (CCTC 14.5LPA). Naturally, I expressed my concerns to my manager, who advised me to wait until the mid-cycle as my promotion case would be reconsidered then.

In the meantime, I actively sought out new opportunities, and I have received an enticing offer from a Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) firm with a significantly higher compensation of 24LPA. This is substantially more than what I'm currently earning, but less than my expected CTC that is around 28-30LPA.

The confusion lies in the fact that my current firm has now initiated the promotion feedback process, and it's possible that I may get the promotion soon. I'm now torn between two choices: do I stay at my current job, potentially get the promotion, and then reconsider switching, or do I seize the opportunity at the CPG firm with the better financial package?

I understand that both options have their pros and cons, but I'm finding it challenging to make a decision on my own. Any advice or insights you could provide would be immensely helpful in guiding me through this tough decision-making process.
