I am interviewing with Akamai for the post of senior data scientist.

My current CTC is 15 lakh for level 1 data scientist position.

I have a master's degree from US. Followed by 3 yrs of research assistantship in data science field.

After returning to India, I have 3 years of industry experience.

I feel I am underpaid in my current job. But I didn't have an option at that time and needed to start working asap.

My expected CTC is 22 lakh atleast.

Can I negotiate up to 28 lakhs

2022 near ki baat hai bhai i was working at capgemini 3LPA pai 3 saal ho chukke thai and i was in mood to switch aur holding offer letter of 11 LPA, then someone from akamai called me and asked for expectations i said 20LPA she said its 7x your current CTC we cannot give this i said: “Its totally fine i know my worth and i will end up getting 20LPA+ this way or that, akamai kai paas budget nahi hai to koi diqqat nahi”

Masters from US , research knowledge, 3 years experience 15LPA ?? Give urself Target of 1Cr+ bro in coming years and as of now if you have 60 days remaining in ur notice period then ask for 30LPA aur nahi bhi milla to chill feb-march mai dabba kai hiring hogi u will get what u have aimed for.

Thanks for your reply.

But can I start negotiating at 28?
As the position is senior, the responsibilities will also be more than my current position I assume.

If they don't agree then can bring it down. Is that okay or does it look bad?

Can we talk on dm? I have a few questions on how did you manage to return from US and how was the career progression?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country.
