Software Developer

My long time favourite is  
  
 “I am earning more than I need and less than I want.” 
  
 This works in almost all cases. 😅

Good one, gonna use this from now on 😁

Consulting Director

Ask them back, aap kitna kama lete ho uncle?

Reverse psychology: arrogant and entitled people are perceived as wealthy.  
  
 Kar do offend. Destroy them.

Product Manager

Growth And Strategy

Just tell them mahine ka kharcha chalane layak kama leta/leti hu

Used to say this, but people started thinking I’m broke 😂

Just take out a 500 note and tear that in front of them, and say thay much that I can tear this note without worrying. You will need to do only at most 3 times in your life and all your relatives will be jealous and stop asking about your salary afterwards. 
  
 This was said by one of the standup comedian. I think Devesh is his name.

Papa bhut maare ge bhai agar esa kar diya

Product Marketing Manager

Once somebody asked me how much you make, I asked him back how much you make. After he gave me a number I said multiply it by 4 :)

Mic Drop 🎤 btw kitna kamaate ho bhai (don’t ask me back, me toh ghareeb hu)

Frontend Engineer

Pehle aap batao... apki pension, properties, investments

But I really want to know, what should we tell to those people who don’t understand those CTC concept, should we tell CTC or just base?

Definitely not CTC.  
 They're never gonna get it.  
 Plus they don't need to know it all.  
 At max, you can include other cash components which you get on annual basis for sure every year.

Consultant

Data Scientist

🫣they ask shamelessly, and If I ask or aapki then they get offended,

Analyst

Kaam chal jata hai, itna mahangai hai edhr kuch nhi bachta. 
 And then they’ll come up with numbers themselves!

Security Analyst

Founder

Just tell them the salary and enjoy their speechlessness

Ask them for an interest free loan 
  
 Problem solved

Chartered Accountant

Practically you can't say all these dialogues to them. So i usually say 1 lakh per mnth, which neither feels low nor too high.

“Thik thak; kharcha chal jata hai bas”

Salary Kitna h Beta ?- Grapevine

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 a recruiter, i have candidates asking me the payscale and i usually share them the compensation bands we have ...although in most cases we are told strictly not to tell the applicants ...however for me , i think it kinda makes my job much easier as they don't false expectations with the role or the salary ...neither i make them waste their time interviewing us ...saves a lot on both sides  
 My managers do expect me to have certain extra good profiles just to maintain our pipeline and show a good funnel of quality folks..but it does not work my way ...

Questions from Recruiter

DevOps Engineer

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

Most of the recruiters or job consultancies calling you will ask you your current and expected salary. If you dont wish to specify it to them or tell during the interview process , in all chances recruiter would straight away deny to move forward with your application.
How do you deal with it. Need suggestions.

How do you folks deal with recruiters/consultants calling and asking for current salary ?

Friends, a genuine question.. need your suggestions...

How can one know if he/she is paid reasonably, or underpaid or overpaid?

I try to analyse my peers network, but I always find people of similar work experiences having similar skills getting salaries higher than me as well as lower than me.. It's kinda distributed..

So how can one evaluate or know the correct salary for a given person? Any idea? I think this will be helpful for everyone during salary negotiations.

Note : I'm a software developer majorly backend with a slight hold of frontend. Also have done a few projects on data science. Around 4-5 years of work experience.
