Guys, I have 8 years of IT experience out of which , 2.5 in azure. I got a call from Capegemni HR , saying there's an azure opening, asked for my current and expected CTC. I said the current is 7 LPA and expected is 20 LPA. It's a hybrid role with 3 days working from the office. She said it is not possible, Max they can give is 10-13. I am in Kerala,and have a baby under 1. I have to relocate if I get it. I don't think it is fair salary.
Is it ok if we don't tell when they're asking for our current salary based on which they will give max 100% if we perform exceptionally in the interview.
Or how can I deal this?
Thanks in advance.
You need to reveal your current salary sooner or later.
You can generally ask them their budget for the position to reduce chances of getting lowballed.
However, in the current market this might not work.
So you can try either with remote jobs and/or get one opportunity and then keep trying for better.
If you choose the latter option then please ensure to not ghost any company on the joining day.
Apart from that, another perspective to consider is 13 LPA is better than 7 LPA.
So go with whatever works for you from the above.
Wishing you the best!
I know ji. Thank you 😊, 13 is better than 7 but I think it's going to be very difficult to live in Bangalore with three days going to the office.
Almost like beating your head against the wall.
It is not worth to relocate to bangalore with 10lpa with family. If you have decided that for the right amount you are willing to relocate. Try to negotiate further. If not accept the offer serve notice and try better opportunities. In worst case be prepared to join them while still hunting for job and put your papers immediately. Its business. 10-13 is a lowball for a 8 year experienced person.
They have the audacity to lowball. You should have the same when putting papers. They are just trying to be opportunistic based on your WFH/remote status.
10-13 LPA for 8 yoe is bonkers. Don’t even apply to such shitty companies
You have the experience to ask for 20 LPA, be clear about it. WITCH companies like CapG are like this who drag the salary to the 100% of your CCTC. Either ask them for your expectation or demand work from home for their salary or its best to find another opportunity. Take a mail proof of agreeing to Work From Home if they are ready for it or HR will fool you that they are ready for it and after joining they will ask you to come to office.
Yeah, I can do that 😊
You can refuse sharing your current compensation, insisting on the budget details.
Some companies won't have a problem, and some companies will have a problem.
If you don't have any immediate problem, you can stick to your point.
You can ask for budget, talk about your expectation and that's it. If you have quality and the company is fair, this is not a problem.
Chindi companies will always have a problem with this
I got to know that budget for the role i interviewed is in range of 20-25 LPA. My last drawn salary itself is lower than the market standards. The company wouldn't give hike more than 30% considering my experience in the role domain. But...
I am open to discussion and negotiation, but I don’t want my application to get rejected. I’ve mentioned 60% hike.
Recruiters always ask for your current compensation which is technically 'confidential'
It's unfair for you to disclose your compensation without getting something in return.
Let's CHANGE the tone of these conversations.
I always ask ...
Whenever i apply for new job opening the HR asks this stupid question every-time. How can we deal with it? People should hire based on their skills not based on their current CTC.
