Hey, I'm fresh out of college with 3 internship exps, where i worked really hard, managed many projects single-handedly & drove sales & results. I've communicated that in my interviews, on portfolio & Cv. I got great mentors so my concepts are strong. However, recruiters slyly indicate that I'm just a fresher and shouldn't be asking for a said amount salary (which I've researched and quoted from the market rate). How do I convince them that I'm worth it? (content marketing related)

I think you should stick to your salary figure if all things considered you are not in immediate need for a job. Yes, you may be a fresh grad, but you are getting paid for your skills. The recruiter’s role is to peg you down to a rate that best suits them and not you.

Additionally, while there’s logic in getting in at a lower rate, all that means is you are more than likely to see smaller raises and increases unless you are aggressively switching every couple of years or so. Speaking from experience. I didn’t see significant increases till I actually started switching jobs more aggressively.

Is it pushy or frowned upon to tell company B that I got an offer from company A so can they hurry the hell up and tell me if I’m getting an offer from them. Company B also said there is still a round of reference checks left and the holidays are coming up.. help! What should I do?

I'm curious does anyone know any specific community for Indian tech people who want to immigrate? especially if they are going to immigrate to European companies.
