Very hard to cross that 30% raise when HRs are shameless asking CTCs. How I would approach is not share CTC and instead ask the range of salary provided by the org. If that range fits my need I would go ahead with interviews and even tell a number of what I want.  
  
 Eventually when rounds go good, they will still ask for your payslip or something and at that point you can negotiate why you need 50%, market correction, good fit in job etc

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

A little background info before I get into the details:

I have left appraisals at the table (twice) to pursue better opportunities which offered me a varied job role. I am now stuck at the same organization for two years and my appraisal conversation has been going on for 7 months. Ridiculous, I know. This company has no growth prospects. I have not grown in the last two years in any aspect. Regret the day I left the appraisal & job promotion at my previous organization to join this company.

Naturally, I've started my job search and have landed a few offers but no one seems to offer me more than 30% and I need to correct my salary. 

How's the best way to ensure I get a package that can offer over 30%? I need atleast 45-50% to correct my salary.

HR is is trying to lowball me into accepting an offer at my current compensation stating market conditions. I don’t have any other offers yet. What can be done here? 🥲

Salary Negotiation

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

In this year's appraisal cycle, I got a good performance rating but bad hike and no promotion 😔
Currently multiple projects are highly dependant on me, and it will be difficult for the company to find a good replacement (Subtle flex, but it's true), and due to this I feel like I'm underpaid at my current level.

Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you negotiate a better salary? Should I look for a better offer outside and ask my current org if they can match it or resign? Because next appraisal/promotion will only happen a year later from now.

Please share your experience of negotiating better salary at current org by getting a better offer outside, how did it go and what was the outcome?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I’m a software engineer at a mid size company. I have 1y3mo of work ex. Appraisals are around the corner, and although the work is great, the pay not so much. I earn less than 10LPA. How much of a hike should I deserve in this market assuming I have done a good job.

Appraisal season

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I work for a early stage startup (A) right now since about 1.5yrs at base 18lpa (no appraisal since my tenure even though I was told they have a bi-annual cycle, but It never happened)

I have another company (B), willing to offer base 28lpa (but will require relocation). 

I still haven't interviewed at B, and was wondering if i can should talk to A asking for an appraisal? I'm also not sure if i should mention about B at all. 

How much i understand A will be like let us launch something and then we can talk about appraisals, but this has been going on since a year now and we tend to change the architecture or the methodology everytime we almost have something ready to ship. 


That being said still I'd rather stay at A than relocate for B at the moment. 

How should I go about this, any suggestions? TIA

How should I ask for a raise?

I have been working at my current company for about a year now. I joined the company with the understanding that I would be learning a lot and being paid less than market value. At that time, I didn't mind being paid less; I joined on 3.5 LPA in Bangalore. After that, in December, I got an appraisal, which put my CTC at 4.4 LPA. Since everyone on my team knows what I'm capable of, I asked for the hike.

I have been doing a lot of valuable work, such as automation, and I've filed patents as well in my final year project at my university. I have also been assigned all of the challenging tasks because my team knows that I am capable of handling them.

I recently asked my manager for a raise. I asked for a 100% raise, which would bring my salary close to 9 LPA. My manager said that he would consider my request, but he eventually came back with an offer of a first 15% and then 25% raise.

I believe that a 25% raise is still too low. I am looking for a job where I am paid what I am worth. I am confident that I can find a job that pays me 9 LPA or more.

I just wanted to know some second thoughts: am I doing something wrong in the negotiation, or should I approach it in a different way?

Not to denigrate others, but I know my teammates carry 2-3 years of experience, but I'm still the one coming up with new ideas and how to solve the problem, and I'm delivering it. Many times, my manager even said he always has higher expectations of me than others.

The excuse my manager is giving is that it doesn't matter; if you join on a higher package at some other place, you'll have to return the joining bonus here of 1 lakh (I'm leaving before 18 months, so), plus after paying taxes, the equation becomes equal, so he's suggesting to wait until December and then look for other options.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I'm a 30Yo with 7years in the same industry however at only 6LPA. For someone with this much experience i surely deserve more hence i started looking out for opportunities and got a 9LPA offer. When I put down my papers the current company has promised appraisal but are not confirming how much will I get and when will it start from. And now I'm stuck because the new offer is running out and my current company is simply binding time. I'm really clueless and ffs i really need to start making good decisions. #Salary

Is there any other way apart from getting an offer from another company in hand and then asking your manager for a counter offer ?

Actuarial Associate

Is it possible to negotiate for a higher hike during my appraisals? 
I’ve never done this. Just asking for opinion/advice.

<Appraisal> Do salary negotiations work

I've recently got an offer from a Unicorn Startup, and they pay pretty well (My friends do work there) 
But I'm getting lowballed. They're offering only 50% of what they offer, and even after having so many calls, they're at max pushing it to 70%, which doesn't make sense to me. 
They are claiming my Current CTC & saying they can only offer a 30% hike. I don't even get that point. 
 I think ur new CTC shouldn't be based on your previous especially if you are already paying so much to others. Getting less than what my juniors are earning in the same position, baffles me. 

How do I move forward? I've clearly said that I'm only interested in this amount of money. At the same time, I feel it's better than what I make right now (not much better tho, because WFH vs WFO) I'm okayishhh with the work I do, but the brand name is also a valid concern (I do have a few brand names in my Resume, and that does actually impact) 

How do I push more? 
I've clearly told them that this is what you pay & they accept it but constantly raise my Current CTC as their brahmastra. Also, I don't like the tone she's talking with (repeatitvely making me feel inferior about current CTC & my less exp & all),  nor do I want to lose my temperament

Also one question, they've asked me for the Offer letter, and I have stupidly handed it to them. Is that a norm? What to do in that case next time? 
I already told them before interviewing how much base I'm expecting.. And they said it would depend on your interviews (where I'm a strong hire) & CTC. And now they're behaving weirdly.

How to negotiate?

Software Developer

I've 3.5 yrs of experience what package shall I expect while switching as a data scientist, how do I negotiate if the job role is the same as my current role

I got an offer from Infosys for the position of lead consultant. And they fixed a salary of 29 LPA with 80% take-home pay and 20% variable pay. My total experience is 13 years. So could you please tell me if 29 LPA is the correct value for the lead consultant, or should I go for further negotiation? Also, can you please help me before accepting the offer letter? What are the things I should ask Infosys HR? Should I ask for a for a joining bonus as well? Please guide me if you have experience with negotiation.
