Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

currently I work in an ai consulting company (<40 folks) with 20+ lpa salary.
recently I got an offer from a big mnc bank for around 15% hike on my total ctc.
I informed my current org yesterday and they have countered me with a 20% hike now. 
I am confused on what to choose.
ps: I have ~5 yoe.

not sure what offer to take

Data Scientist

I have almost 3 years of Experience and My Current CTC is 6LPA, What should be my ask while switching.
It will be my first switch. I have Interview coming with Accenture for Flutter Developer (Mobile Dev) Role.

Expected Salary

I am living in Kochi and my current CTC is 5.4lakhs. I have only been in my current job for 7 months and I have experience of 4 years. Recently I saw a job notification for a new job in a company where one of my friends works. Position is for Sr.Full stack dev. Even though I am really good at React, redux and javascript, It has been 2 years since I worked with node.js as a background and MySQL as db. I am confident that I can get the job done in backend. My issue is how much should I ask them as my CTC. Can it go upto 10lakhs or should I be contempt with 8 lakhs, I'm really troubled here. Can anyone help.

CTC for next job

Software Engineer

I know current market is not approving this but based on the skills it should be acceptable. If the current ctc would have been good then why would someone switch. Please suggest some advices to mention how to not reveal the cctc till the offer is received. Lately for scheduling interviews also companies ask for cctc and ectc before taking even a single round how to tackle all these and also can we mention more than our cctc?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am from a tier 1 college and our placements season is going on, this year the market is very bad, we have very less companies than the previous year and the pay is low as well. From Dec 1, our interview will start but till now I have got no interview shortlist. But I have got an off-campus offer for 13LPA in Greater Noida, I wanted to ask if 13LPA is good enough for living in Greater Noida. The recruiter asked me how much I expected I panicked and said 13LPA, actually I wish more than I said, I mean if they give 13LPA as base rather than CTC then it is more than enough for me. Should i take the offer or negotiate or do what? If negotiated, then how can the company agree to 13LPA base? 

TL;DR: should I accept a 13LPA offer or negotiate it, for a dev role in Greater Noida. I am fresher sitting for my campus placements.

please help

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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?

Salary negotiation

Marketing Manager

Recruiters always ask for your current compensation which is technically 'confidential'

It's unfair for you to disclose your compensation without getting something in return.

Let's CHANGE the tone of these conversations.

I always ask for their budget before I disclose mine. Enough people do this and it'll become the norm and gives you a fighting chance to safeguard against lowballing. 

Objection handling:
1. "Our budget is flexible depending on the role and experience" - counter - what role are you considering me for? What's the range for that role? - if they still deny that's bullshit, all companies even startups have a ceiling they've at least thought of
2. "Our hikes are fixed at 20-30%" - run. Or if you care about the co. try talking about market standards and fair pay
3. If they're being unreasonable and not giving any info, you say your compensation is confidential / not comfortable sharing it at this stage

Expected CTC - 1.2x Glassdoor/ambition box for business roles. Tech has levels.fyi. 
If they try to haggle at this stage itself, say you'd like to focus on the job fit and the opportunity and talk about compensation later which you believe would be open to discussion for the right candidate.

Current and expected CTC

Product Marketing Manager

Hai All
working in a service based company around 4 years of exp CTC 8 LPA. Able to land an offer from a startup company with 12 LPA
since I am in notice period, I got many calls from other service based companies  WITCH. I clearly mentioned that I'm expecting 15 -17 LPA as a Backend developer which they said was okay. But after all the interview rounds they are not going more than 14 LPA and during negotiation there are trying to put guilt on my side (why are you switching after having an offer, 4 years we can't give more than 13Lpa )

I just want to know how to negotiate  well during discussions

And also quote X amount they are offering?

Please note - this i am asking from freshers POV

Can I lie in an interview that has an offer standing from another firm?

After 17L/A package ,how much average hike we should expect to switch if have good skill set (Fullstack Developer) and clear interview.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The company I used to work for recently shut down and I just received my first offer from a sizeable unicorn. 

I am being massively low-balled (20% cut). And on top of it, it's an exploding offer. 

I have a couple of interviews lined up (they start after May 28th) but at the moment, this is the only offer I have. 

What should I do?

1. Hard negotiate? Leave the offer on the table if it doesn't work out. 

2. Soft negotiate. Get the offer. Interview with other companies and try to get a better offer before joining (feels wrong)

Things to consider:

- I have 10+ months runway
- Last cash comp was 24L at 2.5YOE

I'm leaning towards 1.

I'm being lowballed. What should I do?

Suffering from success. 24L base for <2.5 yoe was already high. And that’s the reason why u have so much runway. Good luck on whatever u decide.

Query regarding salary

Data engineer

Guys, need a quick descriptive help here. I applied to the position of senior profile for which in 1st round only they gave asked youe CTC expectation and at what CTC you will not go beyond. I shared my CTC and after 3 days I got an mail stating that my candidature got rejected because they will not be able to pay that CTC which is market standard that i asked. Now, i want to work in that company because profile is good and will help to draft my career and i am ready to decrease my CTC expectation also. 

My problem is how do I portray over mail and what pointers i should be adding to convey them to consider my profile for next round of interview as i am ready to work at lesser CTC (asked 3x of my curent CTC when lastly was discussed). 

Note: HR didn't asked my my current CTC . She directly asked expectations and at what CTC you will not go beyond.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

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

Principal Engineer with 13yoe. I have been assured of a promotion in July by my manager to Technologist position. That is, if they don't stop hikes and promotions for the whole company.

Current TC: 40L fixed + 10L bonus + stocks

Domain: Computer Vision + ML

I feel like my current TC is average to lower average for a product based MNC. And it will be at least 5 years for the next promotion, if i stick to the same company. Will appreciate inputs from folks who have been in a similar situation. Thanks!
