Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

PayTM recruiters typically do not ask you for your expected CTC initially and instead quote a low % increase after a few rounds of interviews are done. I believe this is a tactical move by the recruiters to get you to accept a low offer since you have invested so much time into the interview process and you would lose out on the time and energy invested by walking out at that stage. Always, make your salary expectations clear right at the very beginning to the recruiters.

I had similar experience. Would like to hear about some ways by which we can negotiate better with the HR. Not just in Paytm but in other companies too

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
