I was hiring for a web designer in last role. We had an internal referral, and I checked her portfolio before reaching out. She had multiple projects, worked with many customers across countries, the designs were fresh and inviting, no clutter.
She was the one (for the role)! Exactly what we were looking for.
I had a budget of 25-30LPA, had quoted 19-24 LPA (because well) Her expectations were 30-33 LPA
Cut to, she was the only one till final round and they were processing her offer letter at 31LPA
Find your star and make it shine bright!
So you low balled because well.....interesting
"Know your worth: A story of how someone I lowballed got the compensation they truly deserved!"
Bhai read it properly
She got more than our budget and in her expectation range. Do you understand what lowballing even means?
Why even leave the room for negotiation, tell her your budget and dont budge, if the first talked about compensation was what they had in mind then theyre happy to join a company that recognised their worth in one go
I hate these petty corporate games of back and forth
Company expects employees to be professional in everything.
Reality: Company make employees to beg for salary that he/she is capable for. Just to make sure, employee should feel overwhelmed about his salary and work like slave for the company.
Culprits here are not the HRs but the people who built such HRs.
Why are you guys reacting as if you didn't know all this?
These things come from first hand experience. These are not the thing which is learned from college or something. Since one got experience in this then only a person can play a game. But until then desired salary won't be coming.
What if it's his first job and you are playing a game like this. What if he/she have loan to clear. What if he/she have dreamt of getting some good thing which is only possible with +1 or +2 lakhs in salary.
You play the game according to your masters. The person who is working will also work according to the salary. There is absolutely no wrong in not being truthful to a company who play games like this. Do interviews as soon as you get in and getter a better salary and move the fk out of the company.
nhi yaar enthu, not cool
Kya nahi cool, budget se jyada expected range me diya
underquoting, not cool. this story is rosy where candidate gets the bigger stick, but not all are so lucky. someone desperate for job would’ve agreed for 20, without ever knowing that budget was 25-30.
also i don’t understand why people on the hiring end do this. if it’s your company, it still makes sense. but corporate ka paisa bachake, what do you wanna achieve?
