Leverage is key, but getting there is a looooot of hard work 😅 I was so exhausted in my recent round of interviewing that I gave up on closing on an offer and just took the one I got. I don’t regret this, because there were other factors that played a role too, but would’ve been better with leverage for sure.

How to negotiate salary in an interview?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

The HR was downplaying on me on the availability of talent and recession story. They say we are frugal and we wont fire people.

Should i take cut from my current or ask for match or raise?

How do i evaluate/negotiations offer during such recession?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have about 5 YOE and looking for a job change. While I received so many calls from startups for SSE backend roles. During initial discussions I often let the HR know that I am earning 28 lakhs as CTC and I ask for 40 lakhs CTC, they say that they will get back to me but they never do so. Am I doing something wrong? Am I asking for too much. Should I wait for the market to get back to normal?
PS: I definitely have the major set of skills they are expecting for the job role.

Salary that needs to be negotiated

Is it possible to negotiate for a higher hike during my appraisals? 
I’ve never done this. Just asking for opinion/advice.

<Appraisal> Do salary negotiations work

I've recently got an offer from a Unicorn Startup, and they pay pretty well (My friends do work there) 
But I'm getting lowballed. They're offering only 50% of what they offer, and even after having so many calls, they're at max pushing it to 70%, which doesn't make sense to me. 
They are claiming my Current CTC & saying they can only offer a 30% hike. I don't even get that point. 
 I think ur new CTC shouldn't be based on your previous especially if you are already paying so much to others. Getting less than what my juniors are earning in the same position, baffles me. 

How do I move forward? I've clearly said that I'm only interested in this amount of money. At the same time, I feel it's better than what I make right now (not much better tho, because WFH vs WFO) I'm okayishhh with the work I do, but the brand name is also a valid concern (I do have a few brand names in my Resume, and that does actually impact) 

How do I push more? 
I've clearly told them that this is what you pay & they accept it but constantly raise my Current CTC as their brahmastra. Also, I don't like the tone she's talking with (repeatitvely making me feel inferior about current CTC & my less exp & all),  nor do I want to lose my temperament

Also one question, they've asked me for the Offer letter, and I have stupidly handed it to them. Is that a norm? What to do in that case next time? 
I already told them before interviewing how much base I'm expecting.. And they said it would depend on your interviews (where I'm a strong hire) & CTC. And now they're behaving weirdly. 

What to do!

How to negotiate?

Software Developer

I got reached out for a role and during the first meet, I got asked my expected salary. I'm a grad and I said 12-14 lpa. The other person in the meeting smiled a bit and showed a bit of hesitation (I think) and said that I could always negotiate. So, high chance that he's trying to lowball me. 

Now, the thing is, the startup's got like 7M in seed a funding and I also saw a college post saying that the company recruited a student from said college for a 26lpa package. Also it's a really small start-up.

I'm thinking of asking for 15+ now and would hence like some negotiation tips. Thanks.

Site Reliability

When negotiating salary in Big 4 firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC), research the market rate for your role and industry. Know your worth and be confident. Start with a slightly higher target salary than your desired amount, as this gives room for negotiation. Emphasize your skills, experience, and achievements. Be flexible and open to creative solutions, like additional benefits or a performance-based raise. Be professional and respectful, and be prepared to explain your request. Remember, negotiation is a conversation, not a confrontation. Good luck!

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

Got an offer from an e-commerce company but they are low balling me based on current CTC.
The budget for the role is 20-30% more than what it being offered (I know this because I have friends on the same role and same exp)

Business Analyst

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I've 3.5 yrs of experience what package shall I expect while switching as a data scientist, how do I negotiate if the job role is the same as my current role

Salary negotiation

I got to know that budget for the role i interviewed is in range of 20-25 LPA. My last drawn salary itself is lower than the market standards. The company wouldn't give hike more than 30% considering my experience in the role domain. But I have performed well in all my interview rounds. 
Any tips from the community to negotiate for atleast the lower band of their budget?
