I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range. That caused me to receive a much lower salary than expected. Should I renegotiate even when my manager said that she tried giving me more. Does HR really play that big of a role in this?

Yes, HR can play a big role in salaries. You can always renegotiate but be ready to move on if they don’t want to give you the salary you want.

Ditto what COM1 said - unfortunately the hiring managers don’t get to set the salaries. HR makes the final call. Most companies do have a range for your role and they should be able to take that into consideration if the hiring manager said you were in a higher bracket. If you know the range and know for sure you are being offered the low end I’d def talk to HR. It’s all how you frame it - if you have more experience skills etc you can say you understand there is a range - and with your background you had discussed coming in as a more seasoned (role). Is there an opportunity to revisit the base salary and get closer to your level within this role? If you ask it and they say no then you can decide if you want to take it or not.

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
