When someone calls me for an interview and asks my expectation, I simple quote a number 10-15% higher than my current offer. If they say we can’t offer that much, I tell them I already have an offer so I won’t go below it.

You can also bargain based on you’re already on a notice period and can join early etc.

You can ask for more than 15% if your offer is low, but I’m already at a high package so any higher and companies don’t interview me.

Hello fishes,

From TCS background team, one person called me and asking me to share the screen by opening UAN portal regarding service history.

The problem is I've not mentioned couple of companies experience at beginning of my career since that experience is irrelevant to what I'm working now. So my question is how to answer if he ask what about other companies relieving letter and all?
Any suggestions.
