Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

When you look at this market, everyone seems to be sharing PMS services for 50+ Lakhs

Any suggestions for companies that do this but for below 50, common people. Expecting somewhere around 5+.

Happy to see your recommendations!

If you’ve any special tips for negotiations in bear market then please do share it. Hoping to learn something from fellow gviners

Is it impossible to negotiate salaries in bear market?

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.

Hello folks, 
When applying for roles, I have seen HRs asking for your current CTC and expectations. Some even ask to share Fixed+Variable components.

I have read that it is illegal in some countries but nothing about India. Is it so common in India to share these details. And if I wish to not share, do they drop my candidature for screening round?

Getting lowballed - How to negotiate?

Business Analyst

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello,

I recently received a job offer for a Software Development Engineer 2 (SD2) position in Mumbai, and I'm seeking some insights and advice on evaluating the offer. Had to move to India because of personal reasons. Here are the details of the offer:

Location: Mumbai
Role: Software Development Engineer 2 (SD2)
Compensation: 22 Lakhs per annum (LPA) + 1.5 Lakhs in stocks
Years of Experience (YOE): 4 years, with a master's degree

While I'm excited about the opportunity, I want to ensure that the offer aligns with industry standards and my qualifications. Therefore, I'm reaching out to the community for feedback on whether this offer is competitive for someone with my experience and education level in Mumbai.

Additionally, if the offer seems to be on the lower end, I would appreciate advice on how to negotiate and potentially counter the offer. I'm particularly interested in strategies for negotiating a higher salary, additional benefits, or stock options.

Any insights, tips, or personal experiences from members who have been in a similar situation or are familiar with the tech industry in Mumbai would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

Current TC:- 0

Offer evaluation

Fellows, there are numerous posts on CTC but very few on how to get to a good salary. please share your offer negotiation experience to help everyone understand how they can get their worth.

- your profile/domain and company
- what was the initial TC expectation that you shared with recruiter.
- after all interview rounds, what was the first offer from recruiter?
- how much did you negotiated down from the initial TC expectation
- when did you feel that this is final offer from the recruiter.
- did the recruiter take the offer back due to hard negotiation?

Offer Negotiation Process

DevOps Engineer

Does anyone else feel like the PM interview process is easily scammable? I feel like 80% of it is a vibe check and 20% is the actual content itself.
Am a PM with 3 YoE and have been interviewing around recently. I have 0 preparation for any interview I walk into and have gotten offers from multiple startups. (Not bragging, I'm a good talker)
You need to just break down any questions into understandable parts and explain it well enough.
Maybe it's imposter syndrome or maybe I'm a little disillusioned with my job.

TC : 
31 base
4 performance bonus
10 ESOPs

The PM interview is broken

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.

What should I ask for SPM at Policybazaar?

Also,
HR is asking for

Should I share these? Aren't salary slips asked before joining? 

Any help would be appreciated.
