What's the downside of asking for a raise? 
 Worst you'll be employed at the same TC

One downside I faced was, when I told recruiter I was laid off and asked for industry standard hike. He immediately said “Thank you” and cut the call after hearing about layoff. Don’t know why he did that, also told the reason that it was due to cost cutting.

There will be always some recruiters like that. Persisting is what I would do

I’ve been laid off dew days ago for cost cutting. My current TC is ~30LPA with 4 Years of experience. I’m happy with this TC but now that I’m also switching and seeing current market conditions should I ask for raise over it or just say to match current comp to recruiters?

Should I ask for raise while switching?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am hearing that some companies are laying off again? So is this a good time to switch or just stay wherever I am. That being said, I am not happy with my CTC and looking for a hike. And my current CTC is ~26 so how much hike can I expect if I do a switch?

Is this a good time to switch for an SDE with 2.5 YoE

I have got very less hike and my ctc is below market/company standards, so should I talk to my skip manager for raise or just switch to a new company, I’m worried about recession and layoffs. Yoe: 4

Data Scientist

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Background: I work in a D2C consumer product startup, we have an in-house website and a growing tech team of 7 people. The whole business team is 100+. I'm a '23 grad from a tier 1 engineering college.

I joined the company back in September when the job market was at the bottom and I had to take a 40% pay cut (21LPA to 12LPA) (while switching (the last company ran out of funding). I was at a higher than avg base in my previous role but the current role is 20% below the average. (15LPA) The company is in a growth stage and lots of processes are yet to be defined which leads to a lot of chaos but I get a lot of freedom as well.

My manager is aware of the whole situation and we had also negotiated a 6-month review for ESOP allotment. My monthly reviews have been going well and we have shipped some good improvements and features over the last few months.

Only PM in the startup, how much appraisal should I ask for at 6 months?

Product Manager

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.

I've 5 years of experience as a Salesforce developer. 

My current CTC is 11.5L

Business Analyst

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am from a tier 1 college and our placements season is going on, this year the market is very bad, we have very less companies than the previous year and the pay is low as well. From Dec 1, our interview will start but till now I have got no interview shortlist. But I have got an off-campus offer for 13LPA in Greater Noida, I wanted to ask if 13LPA is good enough for living in Greater Noida. The recruiter asked me how much I expected I panicked and said 13LPA, actually I wish more than I said, I mean if they give 13LPA as base rather than CTC then it is more than enough for me. Should i take the offer or negotiate or do what? If negotiated, then how can the company agree to 13LPA base? 

TL;DR: should I accept a 13LPA offer or negotiate it, for a dev role in Greater Noida. I am fresher sitting for my campus placements.

Need Help in choosing company.

What is a reasonable ask while negotiating with startups?

Should I ask for a match or hike of X% over my TC/annum (52lk Base + 8lk Bonus + Rs30lk RSUs), or should I negotiate only over the Cash (Base + Bonus) component?

A startup I’m negotiating with is not considering the RSUs I have and is offering a 8% hike only on the cash component, and is throwing in ESOPs (paper money) instead.

What do I do?

Need help negotiating with a startup

I've been working for two years in my current company. Overall 5 years of experience.

I'm getting enough learning opportunities here and got promoted last year. 
Not having too much expectations with the annual hike, should I consider switching to another company for compensation purpose?

Please guide with some reasons...

Should I Switch?

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?

Hello everyone... I'm working in an early stage startup, things with my product team are really good but with the rest of the team like tech, marketing & sales it's really toxic...and I witness that toxicity regularly not directly but indirectly & from time to time I have to witness the same toxicity during stakeholder meeting plus the office vibe is also not that good kind of drains my energy 
Now when I tried to put down my papers my manager tried to give me a good raise currently I'm at 8 LPA with 1 year of experience & he is giving me a raise of 50% (12 LPA)
Now I'm really confused about what to do...need suggestions

Question on Switching Current Company

I finally got a job offer after being jobless for around 7-8 months now. But the company is offering me the same CTC I was previously drawing. Reasons they sighted were that I've been jobless for a long period now. Is this normal?
The company is good. Has a good set of customers. Has raised good funding recently. Team seems to be good as well. But its the CTC that I'm unsure about.

What to do ?! 

P.S. my prev CTC was also entry level pay, say 40k in hand on avg after all deductions.
