Hi Fishes,
I am currently trying to switch companies and giving interviews in many companies.
While in most of the companies I am able to perform well in interviews, I think I lack in salary negotiation.
The highest I am getting is 22.5 lpa for PM role , YOE : 4 in Pm.cctc : 13 lpa
I want advice from seniors who on how to negotiate salary.My expectation is 26lpa

You are a manager with 4 years of experience? What are your qualifications?
Subject Expert
It's uncommon to be a manager after 4 years but by no means impossible for the right person in the right situation. I actually accepted a "senior manager" role in less than 3 years (after an industry change, I wasn't 25), where I was leading pre-sales for a practice and serving as a project architect - at a VERY small company, mind you (less than 50 heads in total and bootstrapped). But that did lead to a manager-level role at a GSI a year later and a director-level one at a multi-billion-per-year enterprise a little over 2 years after that. I only recently started managing people in addition to projects (+coaching and mentoring of course), but that's largely because the places I worked weren't really structured for it.
I'm also mentoring someone who really is 3 years out of school and is very likely to be a manager by year 4.
I didn't join as a manager, but grew into this role via a combination of driving revenue targets (>$20M) directly with clients and bringing in our first multi-cloud (Salesforce+AWS) deals. In addition to presales work, my average utilization was 205% on delivery projects where I was a Technical Architect leading a technical delivery team ranging from as small as 10 individuals to as large as 40 individuals on our bigger projects. Currently, I have 5 direct reports who are architects on key programs, but I still have continued my billable and presales in addition to managing my team.

Ghosting hours brah? Nah congrats on your hard work, keep it up. Go for $160-180 at manager based on my recent offers
If your average utilization was 205% and you’re bringing in over 20M with 4YOE, there’s some fishy stuff going on…
Coach
STC, you clearly haven’t worked at a boutique. Promotions can happen in half the time and go to those that step up the most. He is likely just a “lead” who helps out with architects and finding them billable time/coaching. Even with his hard work, it would be tough to come in as a manager in a big firm
How much are you making currently? I am a SM at Accenture federal services Salesforce practice. I may give you some insight into.
That's what I was looking for. Appreciate the honesty! Thanks!
