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

Offer Negotiation Process- Grapevine

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.

How to negotiate salary?

Software Developer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm been on the lookout for a new job and the first question recruiters ask is if I have an offer in hand and what's my expected CTC. 

The next time, i get asked from a recruiter if I have an offer in hand, I want to say yes. Is there a way for them to verify if there's an offer or not other than asking you to send a copy of it ?

Negotiating a higher salary

Communication

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.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello All,

I'm looking for a suggestion. Recently i got a job invitation call from a HR and they collected basic details like ctc, expected ctc, I told that I'm expecting 10LPA and they are ok with that and they scheduled interview and I cleared the technical & Managerial interview rounds. Now my HR discussion is scheduled next week regarding compensation, but I heard from few guys from the same company that the budget for the position is more than what I've asked(10LPA).
Can someone pls suggest how can I ask for more ctc like 13 or 14LPA because before interview I told that my expectation is 10LPA.

(I have around 3 years of exp in Virtualization and my current ctc is 4.6 and holding an offer of 8.5lpa)

Pls don't take this in negative way, need genuine suggestion pls!!!.

Since we all are actively interviewing at times, I need help with how you go with offers. I was interviewing for last month, have got two offers and few companies are still in the pipeline. 

How do you go with saying no once you have accepted an offer.

So i got an offer from a startup they are paying higher than the other one for now, but i still wanna try with other companies. 

They have mentioned about sending me the laptop, can you please help me with the process, this is my first time switching.

Offer negotiation help

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!

Salary negotiation after company rejected expectations ctc

Program Manager

what is this weird culture of FANG these days? got interviewed for a position with on of the companies, here’s my rant.


- HRs don’t have the decency to revert back promptly for feedback for even if it’s positive. 

- Interviewer not opening up the webcam but asking you to even share your screen, webcam and even your property papers if they can.

- Lowballing offers, Got an offer which is not even close to the current TC, and yes we had the current compensation discussion beforehand.

- Quoting some numbers before the interviews and giving a 20-30% lesser offer after the interviews. This is when the candidate received strong hire. 


I don’t know where as a job market we are heading towards, but FANG culture has been on a downwards path. Got interviewed with them around 4 years back and i can see things are not the same now.

How to do salary negotiations

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I have been applying for jobs, and every time I get a recruiter call, they ask me for my current СТС.
Is it ok to tell them the current CTC at the very first call?
Asking this because, in my current company, the budget was more but they gave me hike based on my previous CTC, because I had disclosed my current CTC before.
Also, how do I tackle the question how much is my expected salary? Is it a good idea to tell them right away? 
Asking this because what if they have bigger budget but still end up paying how much I asked for. 

PS: I am new to all of this, please help me how to tackle these questions. 

Thank you.

Salary Discussion 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?

When someone is having multiple offers, when will be the best time to negotiate. I mean how many days prior to the joining date one should talk about multiple offers with recruiter and negotiate?

When is the best time to negotiate?

I had quoted a ctc, they have agreed with that ctc but now I think it's quite low (17.5 lpa fixed for 2.5 yoe). It's a startup. How do I negotiate it to more. They want me to accept offer letter asap. I am in the process of interviewing a couple of more companies where I hope to get around 22 lpa fixed. Should I accept it and then say no few days later?

Making my first switch, how to go about negotiating a decent offer

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)

Getting lowballed - How to negotiate?

Business Analyst

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?

Hi,

I'm positive about an offer letter from Deloitte in a couple of days, can anyone share the expected pay range in this company for a 9.5yrs experienced candidate as per current market standard. 

Tech stack - Java backend developer (Microservices) + Cloud native + ci-cd tools etc..
CCTC - 16lpa..
ECTC - what % can I ask.?
Note - 2 rounds of tech Interview went pretty well 8.5/10.

This is the 2nd switch in my career and i feel I'm pretty outdated with current trends.

Please share your inputs.
