Currently, my CTC is 7LPA fixed with 1.5 years of experience as an Associate Product Manager. Recently HR of a company reached out to me (for a role that I applied) regarding my salary expectations. I'm confused now and not sure how much should I ask for. I have also checked the salaries on ambitionbox for similar roles in that company, and it is in the range of 12-21 LPA for 0-3 years of experience. Pls help! Thanks in advance.

A quick suggestion for my expected salary range.

Salary Range for a role

What is the salary bracket offered for the role Associate : Marketing operations (Investment Management) ? I’ve got a call for this so I wanted to understand in order to avoid being lowballed. Update : they have offered me a 36% after lowballing me with 25% initially. The role isn’t niche per say, just in demand as it involves creating marketing and branding materials for funds or in other words, creating fact sheets.

Retention discussion

Hello, Yesterday my manager had retention discussion with me. He said he will try his best to make a strong case for me & match my offer but the highest approval he could get may be 1-2L lesser of the fixed pay I am getting offered. The rest they could cover in bonus and promise good hike next year to cover the gap. What should I do? I don't have an issue staying back at Deloitte but I am expecting some more hike on my offer instead of setting for less & I also expect to have more fixed pay rather than bonus

I’m currently at a crossroads in my career and would love some advice. I’ve just received an offer from Dubai with a salary of 16k AED/month. Currently, I’m based in India, earning ₹18 LPA, and I also have a ₹27 LPA WFO offer from a reputed company here. While the Dubai opportunity is exciting, I’m trying to evaluate if it would be financially sufficient for me and my partner. My key goals are: • Maintaining a comfortable lifestyle for both of us. • Saving and investing consistently. • Funding at least one international trip per year. Would love to hear from those with experience living and working in Dubai—how realistic is it to achieve these goals with this package?

Email communication for Retention?

I received a retention offer from my company and I was expecting to receive an email communication about the revised CTC approval/confirmation. My manager and I also had a prior discussion in Nov about this. Though the offer is approved, I am yet to receive a formal email. I did follow up with my manager about the same and he suggested to go ahead and inform the other company HR about my offer withdrawal. But he has not sent the email confirmation yet. What should I do? It will be a delay to inform other HR, but I will feel more comfortable and aligned with an email communication, which was anyway discussed before. Feeling stressed. Kindly suggest.

🚨Good News for Job Seekers in India! 🚨

The Delhi High Court has passed a judgement that " if a previous employer has accepted someone’s resignation, and another employer has offered them a job then the new employer cannot back out from hiring them" This is announced, keeping in mind that most employers revoke offers without providing any clear explanations which affects the job seekers a lot! It even happened with me once, when I received an offer from google, but they postponed the joining date for 3 months and finally put the offer on hold! This is a big step for job security of employees! Kudos!🎉

Hello All, I'm 30, working as a Consultant in Infosys after my MBA from Tier 1 College. I was recruited as Associate Consultant at age 24 for ₹8,50,000 per annum. In Oracle WMS Cloud domain. A niche in Oracle consulting. Now after nearly 6 years I'm paid ₹12,80,764 with a recent hike in February. I'm still unmarried. I feel I'm heavily underpaid for the contributions I made and the loyalty (which is stupid I understand) I've given for Infosys. Being in niche field I'm not getting adequate job postings in other companies. I want your help to help me chose correct career path. I'm interested in Product Manager/ Management consulting roles but they ask prior experience. I'm even getting depressed to level to put paper & search job. But my parents do emotional blackmail not to leave job till I get married. The 90 day notice period is not letting HRs shortlist me. What should I do? What should be the nominal hike I should ask in HR round? I have an MBA in finance & marketing. Help me
