Are there such companies in India ? Highly doubt that.

Google, I've heard is one such company. But I'm not sure

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

There’s this chap on GV who posted that they haven’t received any calls for the past 3 months. Has 2.5 years experience with a current ctc around 15L. We spoke to them only to realise their expectations are 32L (26 fixed and 6 in esops)

In a market flooded with resumes due to unfortunate situations, is it fair to have such an expectation and at the same time, call out on GV that they haven’t been getting calls for an interview?

Are high expectations in such a market valid (even accounting for cream deserves takes)

These days HRs are asking the employees before sitting for an interview about their current ctc. I don’t want to reveal that to them and want to get paid according to the industry standards/ based on the market conditions. How to smoothly avoid that question and avoid getting underpaid?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hello Grapeviners,

What is with Indian recruiters wanting to know your CTC as the very first step of hiring? And when asked to share the ctc range in which the role falls, they refuse to share.  So basically they just want to lowball candidates based on their current CTC and parity is a joke?
Now If a recruiter denies sharing the range for the role and insists on knowing my CTC, I run!  What are your thoughts?

Recruiters want to know your CTC

As I'm fresher and sometimes recruiter ask about your current CTC while applying for job. To isme kitna fill krna chahiye.. most of the time I fill zero.

Current CTC

Had the first (exploration) call with my would-be boss and HR lead to figure out which role I would fit in. Company is an MNC startup, best culture ive heard of, lots of friends working there in different verticals etc. I usually dont reveal salary this early on but it was a very quick call and they asked about it and I felt like I had to this time to not come off as a snob or stuck up.

Chances are low and I am okay pushing back but Im paranoid about getting lowballed now. Any advice on how to better my chances in the upcoming rounds? Greatly appreciate any help

Which companies offer high salaries without considering the current pay?

Companies offering salaries without asking for current compensation

I really don't like the practice of sharing current CTC. Not only it ties your future income to your current income but it also traps you into a vicious cycle of justifying your hikes.

I've been looking for a job for the past 4 months. Recruiters usually drop my application because I don't share the current CTC. Recruiters that do entertain my application, tend to ghost me after I clear the interview.

I don't want to compromise on my principle. What shall I do?

Confused Between Principle & Practice

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?

Sharing your CTC with HR

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!

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?

I will go first - 


"Are you looking for a job change?" ( Hell no, I was just testing the naukri.com functionality)


"What is your notice period?" And whatever your answer is, they will say, "We are looking for somebody who can join in 2 to 4 weeks"


"How many jobs have you changed till date?" Whatever your answer is, they are not happy. If you haven't changed any, they think you don't have skills and just hanging on to the current job. 


"What is your expected CTC?" And whatever your answer is, they will ask, "Is it negotiable?" ..... (Reminds me of fish market)

Typical 101 questions recruiters ask when they contact you on phone.....

Guys, if asked about your ctc during an interview with a prospective employer- what do you usually do? What is the norm? Is it okay to refuse sharing that information? 

I usually respond with "I'm not comfortable" and noticed folks responding in a bipolar manner. Thoughts?

Sharing CTC with prospective employer

Finance Consultant

I make $50k USD in my current job and I am interviewing for a role in a US based startup. Their salary range for the role is mentioned to be $80-120k. 

My ideal target is $100k with them. Shall I inflate my current salary to let's say $75k in the hope of an easier negotiation to $100k? 

Can they do a background salary check in India? They are a tiny team of <10 folks. 

The above thought is obviously under the assumption that they can't verify my salary in India and/or would not be bothered about it. 

Is my assumption correct? And if yes then is my approach correct?

CTC expectations

Software Developer

Whenever i apply for new job opening the HR asks this stupid question every-time. How can we deal with it? People should hire based on their skills not based on their current CTC.

How to deal with this Question? “What is your current CTC?” or “Sorry we can’t give you more than 20% of your Current CTC?

in meesho PM1 Job application, they are asking the current CTC and expected CTC mandatorily.

Request to grapevine community folks to advice here to their very honesty. And also what to write for these answers in general, not being biased to any company.
