Hi fishes! The hiring manager has asked me for salary expectations of B6 Data Analyst and my experience is 3.5 yrs with a CTC of 6.65. Considering I have to move to Bangalore l'm thinking of asking 13 or 14.. is it a big ask? If so, what do you think is a good ask? Please help. Thanks in advance :)

Usually I only start looking elsewhere after I've been denied a promotion or salary increase. So if they denied me before but only made a counter-offer after I found another job, I probably wouldn't trust them moving forward with my career.

TM1, that would definitely be a driving motivation to leave. It makes sense. Thanks.
Recently I got hired at two jobs but decline because my current role gave me a counter offer . I’m grateful but kinda regret it . The two new roles offer better benefits than what I’m getting now
Mentor
HRG1 - oh man.. I hope the counter offer gave you more money enough to cover the lack of benefits.
You started looking for a reason. Your current employer is probably aware you interviewed on company time and are giving a counter to bandaid the situation.
I work confidential searches for these backfill situations all the time. They can give you a %200 raise but have no obligation to pay you through X amount of pay cycles.
There was a study that shared I believe % 70 of people who accepted counters leave within the year. Their own or employers decision.
Mentor
I’ll have to look for that study. But you’re right! We started looking for a reason. That reason usually doesn’t often change much.
Companies take employees for granted. Happens all the time. If you aren't popular, sometimes leaving is the only way to improve your pay.
Mentor
I guess I’m not popular, but enough people know me. Since I moved into a newer role, it’s harder to get visibility.
Mentor
I personally have only heard horror stories of counteroffers. I wouldn’t feel comfortable going back after negotiating and laying out my full hand and letting my employer know I want to leave, but that’s just me personally
Mentor
Thanks for your perspective. I think it depends on my boss on how I’d feel. If they act more appreciative of me afterwards, then maybe it isn’t so awkward. But if not, it’d be difficult to stay.
