I cleared 1 technical round. Then got call from MasterCard HR he said 38 LPA is max budget for specialist( Level 7) at MasterCard,if you are ok then will go ahead? Is it true ? I am expecting 45 LPA fixed from MasterCard. I requested to consider for lead role if budget is issue. As my experience is 12 years but hr told 13+ experience required for lead. Is it true ? How much experience required for L6 (lead / individual contributor role ) ? How much is salary range for L6 role at Mastercard ?

Welcome to leadership. They are testing you. If it were me, I would happily train the other to show your boss you have the skills required to lead the team in the near future. Look at it as a compliment, not added work
If you want to run the department, you’re going to be asked to step up. If you were training multiple people, for this role at the same time, then I would feel that it is warranted. Right now it’s one person. Yes, in the short term, you will be doing more work with this training in addition to your current assignments. In the long term I would hope the load lightens a bit, as your new individual becomes more autonomous, you’ll spend less time training them.
I wouldn’t expect a promotion or range. When we have a new team member everyone helps train that individual. Your issue is that you’re currently a team of one.
Again, if you want to run the department, this is an opportunity to prove you have what it takes. Seize this opportunity! You may have to be very flexible in how you train because everyone learns differently. This is also an opportunity to give this individual some work. We often have new hires sitting with almost nothing to do. We would assign them some of our low risk work that they would be able to try to complete. Show you can delegate (within reason), train, and prove yourself worthy of being a leader of this team.
Of course get the approval from your boss to delegate some of the work, after you have trained them on that topic/system.
Realize this is an opportunity to lose or help cement your future in the department.
