Hello ZSers,
I have been shortlisted for AC role and my HR discussion is scheduled next week.
1. Need some insights on the maximum and minimum ctc (fixed and variable) that can be offered for 3 yoe (all relevant) . My current ctc is 7.2 (6.5 fixed) . Tech stack - Big data and AWS developer.
2. Is there any joining bonus. If yes , what should be the ask.
Any inputs will be very helpful for me to go with my expectations to the HR. Thanks!

Ask him for half his annual salary in return
I like this answer: yes indeedy!
That's ridiculous. Think of it this way, if it damages or breaks the friendship, you filtered out a crappy friend and got paid for it. Win win.
When i get people jobs via recommendations, they give me gifts/ give me a treat me somehow, not all the way around.
That may be a sign that he is not going to be a good employee. I would not give him a dime. tell his wife to explain that you did them a huge favor.
To be clear, you helped him get a job and he now wants you to give him $1000 ?
The use of referral incentives in recruitment strategies is widespread, with up to 82% of organizations employing them. However, the specifics of these programs, including the exact payout amounts, eligibility rules, and waiting periods, are generally unknown and typically vary by company. Unfortunately, money can harm relationships, particularly when communication about the specifics is unclear. Nevertheless, the information you provided about the referral incentive is what determines the response to your question. In other words, did you create an expectation or engage in any communication regarding a referral incentive from your organization? The answer is not simple; however, it is contingent upon communication and relationships.
The referral bonus is between the employer and you. YOU are the one who will be paying tax on that bonus income.
(On the other hand, he wouldn't have gotten the job without you.)
There is no obligation between friends for this. This is just something that friends do for each other.
I must admit that one friend gifted me a very nice bottle of Scotch for a job referral. The employer didn't give me anything. I still appreciate that bottle and that friendship with a dram of Scotch on an annual basis. There's still enough left in that bottle to go for a few more years.
lol I hope this comment is a troll ? you got someone employment and a salary, and they want to take your credit away?
lol aaaand instant regret.
Tell him to pound sand! Some friend...
no, her already got the job because of you.
He already hurt the friendship by suggesting this ridiculous idea.
He got a job because of you, you got a bonus because of the company. Simple as that. He should be happy that he can work at a place that has such bonuses in the first place.
Hell no, you referred him you did him the solid lol not the other way around
I think you should look at it as more of continuous help. Man may have financial obligations and this would help him and his family get back on their feet from him being out of work I would at least give him $500 if you didn't give him half. Then also look at it this way if he had not have gotten the job you wouldn't have the money.
He should perhaps pay another $1K if not $2K because of the referral.
Definitely your money, he should be grateful you referred him. Your friend should talk with him. Not fair to you
lmfaoo ur husbands friend does not deserve a single cent! what a joke.
He should be thanking you! You owe him nothing
NO.
So your friend thinks they did you a favor by needing a job? I'd reevaluate my friends list. Also, I think this reflects very badly on the friend's husband. I would likely withdraw my recommendation to whomever is handling recruitment for your company and tell them why. Another thing: I wouldn't share details of referral bonuses with candidates. But I would cut the "friend" loose.
No, he doesn't deserve anything except a good job. That said, it's a nice gesture to take them out to a fancy dinner/drinks when you get the bonus.
The gift for him is the job!
That's RIDICULOUS! DO NOT GIVE HIM THE MONEY. He's getting a salary BC of your recommendation. Tell him to give you 1/2 of his first paycheck and we'll be even. SMFH.
Hopefully you didnt make a mistake with the referral if that is his character...
