Cognizant put my candidature on hold after both rounds of interviews and HR ended up telling me that it’s coz of my current CTC. They will interview more candidates and accordingly get back to me . As of now, my candidature is “on hold”.

I was told that they’d have to give me a higher designation to justify my kind of salary. Right now my YOE fall in Manager band. How true is this?

The interviewer asked me my current CTC only and no discussions on expectations have happened till now.

Yoe?

11

11 years means manager band only I guess..what role were they offering initially??

They interviewed me for this role only and now they’ve put my candidature on hold coz of CTC. They think my current CTC is more. So they want to interview more people , apparently to look for cheaper resources

Same happen with me as well, recently had both technical interview and HR round as well.
After all they are saying because of your current ctc is more then, we have budget for this position.

Recruiting and HR seems to be f**king ch**tya... When they already knows my current ctc, then why they gone through the interview process and wasted my time.

Help, I made a mistake! A recruiter emailed me and I agreed to a phone interview. I did little research on the company and none on the salary… (I know my mistake) One of the first questions I was asked was about compensation to which I answered 45k-50k. (to quote the recruiter this is a “upper level entry level job”) the recruiter told me the base is $45,500. I got home, did research, and found the company paying the same position 55k on Glassdoor. Is it too late to ask for money?
