Is HARMAN really recruiting for permanent remote roles? Would they ask us to come to office after sometime? I am a bachelor woman supporting my sickly parents and can't move them out of city. And my city don't have harman office. HR did mention permanent remote, still want to confirm as I've heard many cases people were called back across different product based companies.

It can backfire too, as companies nowadays have more candidates available and they may not take risk on someone who claim to hold multiple offers.
A better strategy is to ask for Job Title and Grade and the salary range for this title. Check the salary range from ambitionbox or existing employees. I'm my experience you will always get good hike if you get a higher Job title than your existing one.
It becomes much easier to negotiate when you know the salary range.
Companies have a range for each position and they will never exceed it if your current offer is high.
The problem with ambitionbox and glass door is that the numbers there are either not always accurate for mid to small sized companies or not available at all. While I interviewed for my current company back in 2022, there was no compensation recorded in any platform. For most large scale product/service based companies what you said absolutely makes sense. That's why in my trailing comments I suggested about fair market value.
One of the initial companies where I was interviewed, the compensation listed in ambitionbox was 11LPA, and I was offered 28LPA.
We need such threads discussing both pros and cons. Thanks to all who have shared their opinions and experiences
Agreed 100%
Always it doesn't work

I like your approach in handling ctc questions. Can you also tell us your approach to notice period? It will be really helpful when you have 60/90 days notice period.
That is really good discussion OP.
I am currently laid off and facing the same issue before interviews.
I will appreciate your help.
