What are your thoughts on “do the job to get the job”?

I don’t subscribe to this thinking. Sometimes it’s not possible to ‘do the job’ at a certain level because it requires buy in from your manager. For example (in account management) - how are you able to be responsible for the performance and development of a report if you arnt given those responsibilities? Also, especially in account service, if you don’t have a team around you and are not able to delegate duties, it doesn’t allow you to develop and work on more ‘strategic’ higher level type work when it’s necessary. All these needs buy in and support from your manager in order for you to do the job you want.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

I have about 1.5 years of progressive digital marketing experience, and prior to this, about 2 years of people management experience in a different industry. I’ve been offered a middle management position with company I’m currently at that requires me to manage 4 others below me, but is only offering a $5k salary increase - to $65k. Does that seem on the low end or is it valid? Any help is appreciated!
