How much can I negotiate in CTS HR round.
I have 4 years experience, currently SSE in Accenture drawing 7 LPA CTC.

I heard CTS HR's are very rigid in negotiating and might reject our offer if we ask more.

P.S - I expect around 11.5 LPA actually ๐Ÿ˜… Please advice me how to negotiate?

1. Depends upon person to person, not all HRs are rude.
2. Even if u put ur expectation as 20 LPA, no 1 would reject you. It's just that they would tell you their budget on which you may be able to bargain depending upon the situation.
3. As per ur current experience (4yrs) n package (7 LPA), if your expectation is around 11.5 LPA, you MAY start with something around 13 LPA fixed.
4. They, most probably, won't give you this much hike, but considering your expectation, they would atleast give you somewhere close to what their max budget would be.
5. You MAY expect it to be between 11.5-12 in the end, but everything depends upon:
i. Their budget.
ii. Their urgency in requirement.
iii. Whether at the same or higher in experience they are getting someone around or less that your expectation or not.
iv. The technology stack they are hiring for.
So go ahead, be confident, let them be rude (if at all they be) you remain polite, put up your genuine reasons and requirements in front of them as to why are you expecting a package on such a higher side, and in the end, who knows, you may be offered something beyond your expectation.
Just like I got. ๐Ÿ˜‰
All the best.
Hope this helps.

I was in a position of leadership before being demoted earlier this year. It wasnโ€™t called that, but I was given a different role and they hired someone to take my spot. My boss has since expressed regret for this decision calling it hasty on his end

I had access to all the things I was managing for months into my new role and discovered when they hired 5 new entry level positions, all got 45k (women) except one, who got a 60k (1man). The 60k man works on my team and is sort of awful.
