Hi Fishes
I interviewed at a company. The recruiter asked my expectation before the interview & I quoted 3x of my present salary & they were fine with it.( I did not reveal my existing salary). I am expecting an offer but I have a feeling they will ask for my existing & then offer accordingly . I have 9.5 years of exp. but my existing is low as my existing comp. Is from a tier 2 city. Both have wfh. Any negotiation tips to deal with this scenario will be highly valuable.

Thanks

I think you have asked fair enough but for initial offers usually what I see is HR get hesitant to even give 100% offer on current, so I would suggest that initially you quote around 100% i.e. 2x of your current salary and then lookout for more with counter.

Offer is always depends on your current CTC and the job role you have applied. They never share offer without seeing the current one. Even if they agreed verbally, then it may reduce based on your current CTC. So to be on safe side you can ask 100% - 120%, on negotiation.

Correct. They will never offer anything asked. I have never got more than 80 percent no matter what is budget. Atleast in big product companies.... So important to improve cctc.

What is your current CTC?

If your base salary + esops amount to 42L then you should have asked for min 30% hike on top of this and asked this as overall CTC expectation. Esops are an important part of the salary but only if you are working in a public company. Which org you are currently working in?

Current company? Skill?

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
