I've cleared two interview rounds for a Solution Architect role at Searce, HYD, and HR's up next. My current fixed package is 34 LPA. AmbitionBox shows their range for this role (12 YOE) is 35-43 LPA.

During my initial chat, I asked for 40 LPA fixed. HR said 40 LPA including variables (10%) might be doable, but 40 LPA fixed would be tough.

ChatGPT is telling me to aim for 45-50 LPA. What number should I really be going for? Am I being lowballed here?

If you are getting 34 LPA fixed and negotiating at 40 LPA then HR surely knows that you are desperate...don't ever show that no matter what, atleast 45 LPA fixed must be given for a switch....else you are being low balled...leave aside chatgpt...do basic math

Thanks, I will aim for that. I started my calls with 45L, 80% of the HRs mentioned it’s beyond their bracket. So had to go for 40.
