What is that salary after which one shouldn't be negotiating further. Is there an upper limit to that. For e.g if someone is at 10 lpa with 5 yoe he can desire for a 100 percent hike but not someone who is at 20 lpa with 7 yoe. Wanted to know how the yoe and ECTC curve works.

There can be never be an upper limit. There will be someone who is earning more than you with same experience & same tech stack. It completely depends on whether you are satisfied with the offer or not.

There is never an upper or lower limit.. just because they offered X salary yo someone doesn't mean they will offer the same to you have a realistic expectation and analyze based on all factors including wlb, growth, brand name, reviews, work culture, technology, role etc

There is no standard one size fits all answer to this. It varies from person to person based on the skillset, hiring company profile, demand for that skill in the market, urgency of company to fill up the position, etc. For an individual, it is better to have a personal checklist on what are the criteria that fit for oneself and how much CTC can be expected.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
