I plan to take a sabbatical/career break. Financing & emergency funds taken care of (6 months to 12 months)
Now, at some point at the end of my sabbatical, I will anyway be back to the job hunt & technically there is not a CCTC, but only a "last drawn salary' that recruiters will get to hear from me. CCTC Is of course NIL.
Question:
I have 10+ YoE in tech/IT and am not looking for 'salary negotiation advice' in general.
I am specifically seeking advice on the nuance of: leverage while being able to quote CCTC vs leverage while having a 'last drawn CTC' - purely from a, post sabbatical job hunt perspective.
thanks in advance.
Quote last drawn salary as it is, when asked.
True, that is the only option altogher while quoting. But any idea if recruiters have any tendency to low ball more, when they deal with applicants coming from a career break? That is where my actual question around 'leverage' comes in.
I'm one year ahead of you on the break, and now returning to work. Although no offer discussions have come yet, no one indicated issues with expected CTC with good hike.
Now will they do me dirty - some might, but they are a hard NO to entertain any further for me becauseI bring experience of working with top tier talents in well funded startups, where RESPECT for the skills you bring and alignment matters.
This comes from a place of privilege in being in the top 20% of well to pay orgs - Only willing to work alongside high agency folks who respect the break part and reasons behind it, and impact leverage in long-term vs short term budget saving. Might be a different story if you are in other exploitative based roles/orgs like service, WITCH etc.
Worst case you have built decent credibility with prior managers and they will happily hire you in their new orgs.

Same as title. Feeling frustrated as most companies these days only negotiate based on CCTC and only want to give some x% hike. I know this is common in India but is there a way to go around it? Do product based companies and good startu...
I'll set the context here.

I know current market is not approving this but based on the skills it should be acceptable. If the current ctc would have been good then why would someone switch. Please suggest some advices to mention how to not reveal the cctc till th...
