Hi all, I am working at Natwest Group RBS and I have recently applied for Product Manager Role(gurgaon) in Gartner. How much CTC I should ask and what is the general hike and bonus they give on yearly basis and can someone provide some insights on work life balance and leave policy?

Leaving 😬
You say no.
You push back.
You ask how it serves the business. Push for detailed analysis.
You give them a list of “work” that needs to be done and have them choose priorities. Then you send that list of priorities to every person who has “work” that needs to be done. Refer all questions to the person who made the decision. Hopefully they start getting the point, bogging themselves down jockeying for position, or quit asking you.
You have to get good at enforcing discipline on them, playing the cya game.
Start interviewing.
BTW, I’ve been in that exact spot. My goal was to force the business to put someone in charge, because I wasn’t paid enough to put up with that BS.
My team has a product owner that triages requests like this. Engineers don't typically sit in these meetings. If the request is a need and is important to the business, the team does it. If the request really is a one off that only serves one person, they steer us more lucrative work.
Yeah, we don't really have a product owner or anything like that. Devs end up being business analysts, product owners, QAs, and the actual developers. Which means many avenues for being the SME on something and being bogged down 🙃
