The % is not important, what's important is the market standard. So you have to hey can idea of how much the market pays for your role, experience and skills, and take a call accordingly.

Ok makes sense, thanks. The role is into risk data management

How to negotiate?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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!

Currently working with series A startup as product marketing manager at 23lpa. Joined them in july at near zero increment because last company shut down. Have proven my metal here and getting extra responsibilities.

How to negotiate with them for good appraisal in the coming cycle in march.

How to ask for good appraisal

Marketing Associate

I'm considering an offer from a BLR based startup which is >Series D. This is for a Growth role.

Currently in a Series B startup where I have been for about 3 years now (been here since inception) and have 1% equity. What would be the right % of equity to ask for while making the switch? 9 YOE.

Would also be helpful if anyone can share the benchmarking of % equity for maybe every Series for the larger benefit of the community. TIA.

How much equity should I ask?

Program Manager

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? 🥲

Background: I work in a D2C consumer product startup, we have an in-house website and a growing tech team of 7 people. The whole business team is 100+. I'm a '23 grad from a tier 1 engineering college.

I joined the company back in September when the job market was at the bottom and I had to take a 40% pay cut (21LPA to 12LPA) (while switching (the last company ran out of funding). I was at a higher than avg base in my previous role but the current role is 20% below the average. (15LPA) The company is in a growth stage and lots of processes are yet to be defined which leads to a lot of chaos but I get a lot of freedom as well.

My manager is aware of the whole situation and we had also negotiated a 6-month review for ESOP allotment. My monthly reviews have been going well and we have shipped some good improvements and features over the last few months.

Only PM in the startup, how much appraisal should I ask for at 6 months?

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

In India, it's the norm where candidate has to show all his cards (past 3 salary slips or increment letter etc) to prospect employer which sets the benchmark. However, the candidate usually has no idea abt the pay range for the JD, the KRAs, team strength, budget, and the monetary value he is expected to bring to the firm. Most firms also put 90day notice period which makes it difficult to change jobs.

How do you folks try to negotiate pay?
What %hike over current is a starting point?
If no other offer is in hand, but the firm is strong arming you to a less pay, how have you/would you negotiated in such scenario?

Investment Manager

Hey, 

I am a SWE with 2 yrs exp. recently I found out that juniors in my team are being paid atleast 10% more than me. This thing has been bugging me so much that I setup a meeting with my manager but here’s the thing- I have no idea how to talk about this to my manager. I obviously think it’s unfair given how much more work I am doing. 
Can experienced people here please guide me on how to approach this meeting?

Thanks!

Junior coworker getting paid more than me.

Just break the ice. Start by, “ Hi…. Sorry for the unplanned meeting but I want to talk about my compensation.”

UX/UI Designer

I applied to a company for software developer role and in their job portal it was mentioned software engineer (7-20lakhs).

my current ctc is 10.43 lakhs and I want to tell them 18 lakhs as expected salary but fear that they will ghost me as it would be 80% hike. 

What should I do?

Need suggestion

How to negotiate properly? Anytime we could get to do it on our CCTC or the holding offer (2-3L extra). But if I feel the company could pay more than it + my skills are worth it. How to put that out? Many times I get to see a response that your numbers are high compared to your current CTC / max we can give 2L more than your holding offer not more than it.
Example:
CCTC : 10LPA, holding : 15LPA, mostly HRs try to settle me at 17LPA max. But through some research if I see the same companies are paying somewhere between 18-22LPA, so I can get offered 22LPA also right! 

So in such cases how to know the range of hiring? how to negotiate to maximum(realistically) without any regrets and get the best, especially when I am expecting a 100% hike or more?. Does interview performance affect salary?
Pour your input guys.

Hey all, so I've done my Engg. in automobile and after that got an opportunity to work at XYZ company as an Analyst in "Master Data Management" domain almost completing two years now (usually work on automobile components data for the company's e-commerce website, where we sell the parts). 

Now, my manager has approached me to take up this project/process "Supplier Risk and Sustainability Management", which is very different from what I do currently. Mind you, I worked on this project temporarily for a quarter last year, as it was new to India. 

The company hired a person for that project and he took over, now the thing is he has put down his papers, and business owners now want me in their team. While my pay is just 27k, I asked them that I need at least 55-60k in hand, but my manager said it might not be possible, at max 15-20% increase.


Fam, please guide me on what should I do here, and what is the future scope for this role, while being from an Engg. background. 
(My goal is to work on Manufacturing x Data Analytics)
