If I am the boss here is what I will say: 
 I gave you budget for hiring and you weren’t able to hire 1.5yrs.  No wonder you have to slog.  
  
 Find a good response and ask for hike. All the best.

Hey Folks,

Need a suggestion from y'all - if I am trying to hire a person for my team and out of 1 year, 6 months I have slogged alone without finding the right person, should I ask for a mid cycle hike when I got the hike for the lead position in April? Does it sound fair?

Hi folks, I’m grossly underpaid and my work output + impact warrants a promotion and a fat hike imo. But being told that this is not possible mid year. What can I do to make it happen? Haven’t had a proper conversation regarding this with manager yet.

How to ask for a promotion/hike mid year?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone, 2023 IIT Grad here, working in ServiceNow since July 2023. 
Current Base: 15L
I have around 7-8 months of experience here and over a year of experience at Startup and Servicenow being a Software Engineering jntern, at startup, I was almost a full time, leading projects on my own. 

I recently had a 1:1 with one of my teammate, he is couple of years senior and has a base of 24L. He told me you have been working really good, so in this upcoming March, you can either ask for a promotion OR for a good hike. 
I have heard, in ServiceNow, promotion or hikes happen only once a year. 

Then I talked to someone with 7-8 yoe, he told me it won’t be good to talk about this when you have just joined that is, 7-8 months ago. He said take whatever they give you.

I need community’s views should I talk to my manager about this OR Should I let it go? My friends at other companies are making 20+. I didn’t sit for placements because of PPO. 

Please advise. Thank you!

So since past few days, I'm getting feeling that they are going to sack my manager and are going to promote me to his level. They have already started sharing sheets with me whose access I didn't had earlier. It's a team of 6-7 designers, and I'm senior among them. Now, if they promote me toh manage this team, how should I ask for hike? What important things should I highlight so that I can make a good case for myself? Should I let them give me additional responsibilities and wait till june-July for appraisal? 
 Appreciate all suggestions

How should I ask for salary hike if they are replacing my manager with me

What is the reasonable expectation for a promotion hike? I know it depends on a lot of factors.. but want to understand the scenario

I had joined a company after my 3 years of post qualification experience and 3 years of pre qualification experience into internal audits. During interview we were promised to work for USA cpa firm but now they want all of us to move to internal opportunity which is not related to my profile. I have been giving interviews but not getting a good raise so how to ask for raise ?

How to take the maximum hike this year

DevOps Engineer

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

It'll take 2 mins to read!!

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)

Need some advice.

Analyst

One of my close coworker rather a best friend, recently talked to his manager for promotion. However the hike after promo what manager said was ~25%. However same experience, same team -same experience guy who got promo in last December cycle got fixed around 28-30L. Now he had asked suggestions. He's fixed is coming around 24. 

He asked me how to get fairly treated. Both are having same experience, same team. However the earlier guy joined at higher fixed. Is there any way to see this as he can't compare himself directly.

I am not expecting promotion this year but this seems to be a genuine question to be treated fair.
If any such scenario comes to me , I would simply get an offer and leave. However I want to know the correct approach.

Hike negotiation

I have been working as engineering manager in a startup. I was promised remote job but now company calling to office location. In current year, the company didnt give more then 5% salary growth and keep promising growth in the future as company grows but do founders or top management really care about employees? 

I seen one of my ex company its happening but not sure if founders really keep their promises about employees will get salary growth as company grows. I feel they take lavish salary but keep the employees underpaid.

Let me know your thoughts or your own experience. Work life balance is good though so I don’t want to really leave the company it actually it happens

Does employees get salary growth with as startup grows?

How much of a hike should one expect while switching roles (for a PM role)

I have started giving interviews and the expected CTC i had mentioned was with a 40% hike. Nope, i have received my appraisal in the range of 15%, due to good performance. Should I revise my expected CTC? How does this usually work?

Hike while switching companies

I know I deserve more, as I have been constantly delivering more than what's expected out of me. But I still feel - I'm not compensated well for my hard-work and skill. 

My take-home is 20+LPA, and I have 6 yrs of experience.

And moreover the workplace is not challenging anymore for me as an individual contributor. Most of my time rn is getting spent in training other people. 

I have contemplating to ask for a hike. Or should I just switch?

Should I ask for a salary hike?

Hiring for a bunch of roles for an early stage startup. Salaries of people who have been laid off is through the roof

2-3 years experience asking for 30-40l and while we chose not to judge the experience and spoke to a few of them, most of them are not even worth half of the pay. 

Many are jobless since last 2-3 months and none of them are willing to take a paycut of even 5-6L and are willing to stay jobless ( probably have a ton of savings )

Market correction is necessary.

Roles : PM, software engineers, generalists

What's wrong with salaries

If you are paid less, don’t extrapolate it on others. If they are willing to wait, let them. You should keep praying for “corrections”.

I am looking for new opportunities in PM role.

I have 2+ workex working as APM. My current base is 15,00,000.

My friends with similar workex are getting 25+ as base in different companies.

1. What is the ideal hike that I should ask
2. How to ask for 25+ as base

Looking for hike

I'm working as a Frontend developer (SDE-1) with 1.5yoe, I joined this startup 4 months back. Earlier I was getting paid 9lpa and later I was offered 12lpa without even asking for my previous compensation. I accepted because my earlier organisation was very toxic. Now coming to the point, 

I came to know that for the same level and same role they're paying 16+lpa. And this is making me mad at them. 

Within 3 months I'm handling 1 of their 2 products (customer facing) all alone. And I'm doing great work tbh (not boasting) but if they have 10 major features. I have developed 4 of them all alone, solved really critical down time bugs and improved the product. 

Now I own this product and if any bugs come, I'm the person who's assigned the work.

I want to have a chat with the Founder but I'm not sure what to say and he's a guy who will try to save the money at all costs. 

I'm really mad at this point of time and I'm planning to leave in a few months. 

If I have a chat with him and he says something harsh, I will resign then and there I'm triggered to this level. 

And there was no kind of appreciation from them, I'm taking most tickets during the sprints and delivering quality code, communicating well and thinking in terms of product, if there is anything which can be improved I ask from them.

How do I have a chat with him and what do I say?
Current CTC - 12lpa
Expected CTC - 16 - 20lpa
YOE- 1.5 (planning to have the call around 3-4 months later), so I will be almost 2 yoe by then.

Pay disparity in my startup.

You are being paid 75% of what others are being paid at the same level. 
  
 Reduce your inputs by 75% to achieve fair parity (no. of tickets or work hours or whatever). 
  
 Use the saved time to prepare for your job switch.

As it stands, i have been through 0 appraisal cycles and this ia my first. Since i always see people jumping to new companies, does anyone get like amazing hike (say a random 30%+) in their existing company

So does anyone even get a outstanding hike without switching

I find myself in a rather perplexing situation at work and could use some impartial advice. Currently, I am employed at an Indian e-commerce firm where I have put in a lot of hard work. However, during the recent annual cycle, I was not promoted, and my salary hike was disappointingly meager (CCTC 14.5LPA). Naturally, I expressed my concerns to my manager, who advised me to wait until the mid-cycle as my promotion case would be reconsidered then.

In the meantime, I actively sought out new opportunities, and I have received an enticing offer from a Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) firm with a significantly higher compensation of 24LPA. This is substantially more than what I'm currently earning, but less than my expected CTC that is around 28-30LPA.

The confusion lies in the fact that my current firm has now initiated the promotion feedback process, and it's possible that I may get the promotion soon. I'm now torn between two choices: do I stay at my current job, potentially get the promotion, and then reconsider switching, or do I seize the opportunity at the CPG firm with the better financial package?

I understand that both options have their pros and cons, but I'm finding it challenging to make a decision on my own. Any advice or insights you could provide would be immensely helpful in guiding me through this tough decision-making process.
