Need some advice.

It'll take 2 mins to read!!

Hey all, so I've done my Engg. in automobile and after that got an opportunity to work at XYZ company as an Analyst in "Master Data Management" domain almost completing two years now (usually work on automobile components data for the company's e-commerce website, where we sell the parts).

Now, my manager has approached me to take up this project/process "Supplier Risk and Sustainability Management", which is very different from what I do currently. Mind you, I worked on this project temporarily for a quarter last year, as it was new to India.

The company hired a person for that project and he took over, now the thing is he has put down his papers, and business owners now want me in their team. While my pay is just 27k, I asked them that I need at least 55-60k in hand, but my manager said it might not be possible, at max 15-20% increase.

Fam, please guide me on what should I do here, and what is the future scope for this role, while being from an Engg. background. (My goal is to work on Manufacturing x Data Analytics)

A 2x ask is excessive. A 20% hike is high, but possible.

Do it for a year, prove your value and then ask for more.

Thanks for your response @TallTales69!

What I don't understand is that the company gives around 75-80k for the person who has put his papers (yes, he has exp. of 2.5 years in the same role). I agree that my ask is excessive but it's way less than the guy who's moving out, right?

Also, what do you think about this role? How would that affect my carrer?

Thats not how peer pay parity works. For the first 7-10 years of your career you are on a fixed peg structure at par with most in your experience range - very rare high earning outliers.

True differentiation happens post Year 10.

One needs to slog and earn your keep till then.
