Even i have the same question. Do recruiters get awarded to save money?

20days after this comment. I still have the same question🤪

So the company has allowed you to hire a person for X LPA. You offer candidate Y LPA (Y < X). The candidate states he wants X only and not Y. You discuss with your manager, the manager approves X. ...

So the company has allowed you to hire a person for X LPA. You offer candidate Y LPA (Y < X).
The candidate states he wants X only and not Y. You discuss with your manager, the manager approves X. 
Now do you still, quote that the company can only offer Z amount (Z > Y but Z < X)?

Why do you do this? Is your variable pay dependent on it or are you just a narcissistic person?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

l attended an interview today and told my expectation is 24 LPA, but they said for my skills, they were expecting to give around 26 to 30 LPA.

Now they've asked me to think about the proper CTC and give it to them. I don't want to ask for 30 LPA either.

How can I revert back and how can I ask them for ~28 LPA now?

History: I've been leading teams and developing projects that were used by millions of people. Worked with startup's that were in rock bottom and bought them to a good position.

Finished college last year. But getting into full time for the first time. Been working as a freelancer/contractor for 5+ years.

Interviewer said I'm undervaluing myself, how much should l ask?

I currently resigned from TCS. I wanted to know how much package Accenture can offer me as a Java Developer with 3 years of experience?
I already have an offer with 15LPA. Can I ask 16 LPA+ 2 LPA variable??? Should role be on C11 level?? 
Any suggestions are welcomed

I am interested in a company but the salary range is a little low. 

Should I apply and ask the recruiter for a salary increase? (The salary range is the same as what I am currently earning so it doesn't make sense for me to switch for the same salary).

PS: I can easily make it into the role.

Can I ask for a higher salary?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I believe it is extremely difficult to judge exact level of an individual during an interview. It is better to also use past salary as some indication of value to last company. Having said that, the company needs to get to the correct salary range depending on performance in first 6 months. 

Thoughts?

I recently got a job offer at a well-funded remote startup headquartered in the US as a DevOps engineer. They adjust the salary package to account for the country so I won't be earning in crores... but I wanted to ask people who are in remote positions as to how to negotiate a salary that will be rigid more or less,no options are there to negotiate till a super high margin (maybe 10% max).

For example, they are offering 33 LPA currently, does that put me in a higher tax bracket and can I negotiate for a lower compensation so that I can be put in a lower tax bracket, say I ask for 29 LPA and ask for a joining bonus (or HRA) or some restructuring to do that? 

I don't understand how taxes work in India especially with remote payments but I'm hoping someone can offer the right guidance and resources so that I can look into this in depth later on as well. This is my first ever job and I got it straight out of college, so I do not mind even if they are paying me less than their US counterparts. This salary is more than enough to survive in a tier 2 city (will be shifting back to live with my parents).

I don't have much investments right nos, just a couple of FDs and some equity + debt funds along with stocks (mostly banks + chemical companies here and there). I can look into ELSS funds and what not if that can save up some taxes. I am considering talking to a CA about this too.

(Note: not comfortable with naming it even if this is an anonymous platform because it has like a strength of 50 and I feel it is irrelevant to the discussion).

TIA!

Tax savings and salary question for remote jobs

Scrum Master

Have been interviewing for roles and the HRs are low balling like crazy even though they most definitely have the money, talking about non-startups listed companies as well. Makes me think if offer shopping or editing a current offer with a higher number and then shopping is the only way to go

HRs low balling?

Founder’s Office

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

Revealing salary in the first round. Yay or nay?

It depends on where you are in terms of the compensation spectrum. It can definitely lead to bias if your current salary is not on the higher side. 
  
 For too long, I have played this back and forth game of revealing salary and asking them for budget and frankly, it’s too tiring in Indian recruitment circles. 
  
 So, I have started just being honest from the beginning about my current pay & expectation and have seen recruiters be transparent about their budgets too. 
 Eventually if a company has to lowball they anyway would, but I am glad that I don’t have to exercise so much cognitive effort playing this game of riddles

In general HR's say we shouldn't discuss our salaries with our colleagues and at the same time they allow your manager to discuss the salary during appraisal.

A manager should only be allowed to tell %age increase, not the actual salary.

As a manager, would you share your salary with your reportee ? If not, why should you know their salary?

Either make salaries transparent, everyone knows each other's salary or nobody should know anyone's salary except HR.

Are you ok with your Manager knowing your salary?
