Hi Sharks
Need your advice on below.

I’ll be joining amex in disputes (band 28). Salary discussion is yet to happen however, HR told me in our first discussion that the budget for this role is 7 LPA and she won’t go beyond that. My current CTC is 6.5 LPA. Should I negotiate on the salary once I receive the offer?

Have heard HR usually have a good margin and candidate should never accept the first offer even if the salary was discussed in the very first round.

Hi
In my experience of course you can try to negotiate but Amex usually have a budget pre defined for a role so when they tell you that budget they rarely go over it. You can definitely try saying that the hike which they are offering is way below the market standards but if it doesn't work out I would still recommend you join Amex. They usually have salary correction and give good hikes with great wlb however if you have any other offers you may want to think more around it.

It would happen around after an year after your joining basically during the appraisal cycle. Not sure across all the departments though, it happened for mine, I work as an analyst for international markets.

Try joining some another organisation with good hike.
Amex is good but you are not getting hike here .

Few questions -
1. How many YOE do you have?
2. When did your CTC reach 6.5? Meaning was this after a recent salary hike (1-2 months) or close to a year ago?

No, I'm not from Amex. And I do think you should be paid more than 7 for your YOE but I don't think negotiating after you've already agreed to 7 (indirectly) is a good idea. Maybe you can try somewhere else before joining Amex to get a higher CTC.

YOE- 4.10
CTC, 6.5LPA - been more than 6 months

No harm in giving it a shot though. Isn’t it?

Are you in disputes?
