Someone posted on linkedin that even if you love your job you should always apply to other jobs that you believe you’d have potential in, just so you sharp your interview skills and learn about how the market is compensating people in your role.

Thoughts on this?

That’s a good point, thanks for that.

Yes, this is the way.
Don't apply to everything but keep your resume sharp and go for positions that interest you and that are a bit of a stretch or meet your needs better. It helps you see a future that is not limited to your company and role. Worst thing that could happen is you stay where you are happy!

Then think about which place gives you most what you want professionally and personally! That I a great problem to have 😊

I would recommend doing this only with companies you would never consider joining. However that sorta defeats the purpose to some degree.

Agreed, learning this the hard way. Haven’t looked for work in 8 years. Looking to make a change, and it’s 10x more intimidating than it was then. I got to comfortable where I am.

I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
