Do people negotiate even when the offer is better than what they make now? I received an offer of $65k, but I'm seeing that $75k is standard. I don't know if it's okay to ask for more or if that's pushing it when it's already a bump for me.

Yep, always negotiate! Never leave more money on the table, only you can advocate for yourself

Ask for what you deserve, regardless of what you’re currently making. You probably worked for several years at your current job and gained plenty of skills and didn’t get raises that match your skillset. Being underpaid currently is not a good reason to not advocate for what you deserve!

This is helpful, thank you for this advice!

But what you make might be too low. For example some jobs offer minorities less because they made less but they made less because they're minorities. So when do people get paid the industry standard? By demanding it.

I would always negotiate! Especially if you have a good benchmark to justify the ask

My motto is to always negotiate. You don't want to leave any money on the table and you will if you don't try. The worst they can say is no and then you are back to the original offer.

Absolutely negotiate, particularly if they advertize a higher minimum than your offer.

Always negotiate, regardless.

Yes I’ve learned from this group and others that HR doesn’t present their best offer. At least not usually...

I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.

In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.

I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.

Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?

I’m burned out, can barely take break and end my days totally drained and exhausted, also the same people is harassing me with questions like: “why are you working that slow?” Or the “quality of your job is questionable because…..” continue in comments
