Product Owner

I personally want to join company A more but how can I get a better offer from A. How do you have 'the conversation' with the recruiter?

How can I succeed as an APM?

I see a lot of product managers come from an engineering background. They have worked for a few years as an engineer before making the transition. I want to understand the factors that led to the to make the switch. 

Also, how has that turned out after moving to product management? Did you find the things that you were looking for?


PS: It is also common knowledge that PMs are paid less than engineers.

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

I am sick of PM junta acting so pricey when joining a Series A. Most junta are stuck in their jobs doing boring stuff, and they keep seeking exciting opportunity to arrive. But when it's knocking on the door suddenly everyone wants a 40-50% fixed pay hike and doesnt want risk sharing (say ESOP component higher than fixed). For what!! 

Dude Series A has lesser money that's 1, unlike the cushy companies to these PMs are leaving and then, all of a sudden , I derive my happiness from "intellectual stimulation" or "real work" just vanishes in thin air.
Btw, we are offering like 5-15% hike on their current fixed pay with atleast 1:1 ESOP min (giving more to people who negotiate on ESOPs).

Series A hiring is tough. 🥲

Hello Folks,

I'm currently working at Google, and I'm considering quitting for an MBA (expecting admits to IIM-A/B/C) to break into Product Management.

Honestly, I'm interested in it for industry exposure, the chance to climb the ladder quickly, and, let's be real, the fat paychecks.

I am currently not really earning at the level I should be, even at Google. Could someone with experience share some genuine insights?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I work for a early stage startup (A) right now since about 1.5yrs at base 18lpa (no appraisal since my tenure even though I was told they have a bi-annual cycle, but It never happened)

I have another company (B), willing to offer base 28lpa (but will require relocation). 

I still haven't interviewed at B, and was wondering if i can should talk to A asking for an appraisal? I'm also not sure if i should mention about B at all. 

How much i understand A will be like let us launch something and then we can talk about appraisals, but this has been going on since a year now and we tend to change the architecture or the methodology everytime we almost have something ready to ship. 


That being said still I'd rather stay at A than relocate for B at the moment. 

How should I go about this, any suggestions? TIA

How should I ask for a raise?

Software Engineer

I have 6.5 + YOE and have a CTC of 20L (fixed + bonus)

How do I achieve parity with regards to salary? 

My next appraisal cycle is in March but obviously due to the economic conditions my company might not give me a great raise even though my performance has been good this year. 

Any suggestions?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi, I have an offer from Company A and my joining date is in next 2 weeks. But just last friday i got another offer from Company B with much higher salary than A. 

But I have interest to work on Company A. Do you think I could negotiate with Company A so close to the joining? Has anyone done it before and what was your result?
I'm worried if they may rescind the offer if I asked. Appreciate if anyone could shed some light on how to approach this. 

Thanks.

Anyone negotiated salary few days before joining?

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.

Hola Folks , 

Is it possible to ask market standard compensation in PM  if we are switching from Operations to Product. And what are the entry level PM salaries one should ask for.

Current CTC 7 LPA .

APM Salary Negotiation.

Same as title.
As a product manager, what to do when your EM is not supportive and passes the buck to you always, doesn't accept mistakes, instead waits for the chance to blame you instead.
You can't even escalate, because of course you have only one EM. Of course, your team's EM will not change.
