How many years of experience?

Almost 4

Need more details
Experience in what, what firm are you coming from, what field.

Strategy&Ops consulting, worked at ACN, now at boutique. Op Model and Process Optimization work.

I could see you landing at 115-125 base + bonus, depending if they try to bring you in as an SC or C

helpful

125 is definitely a fair ask imo

130+

Update: will be Senior Consultant role

130-140 makes good sense in D as they don’t care about the city

Yeah I’d ask for 130 or even 140 if you’re feeling saucy. Let them tell you no and come down, you should get paid what the SC’s make out of school which is about that.

I cleared technical round and during final call with HR, my salary expectations were higher as per HR.

My current CTC is 9lpa, skill-IAM and Java, YOE-3. I asked for 14lpa, best they could give was 11lpa. I know I asked a lot.

She didn't care to negotiate and cut my call and now they put my candidature on hold. Can I expect call back? Or i can consider myself rejected?

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
