Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

Hi,
I have had a first round of interview with the company. And mentioned my salary expectations as 15- 20% from my previous LPA. But after that I feel like I have undervalued my expectations. Being in the field for 9 years with the required skill, considering the market and the prospect company is a well known builder, i should have asked more. Anyway a face to face interview is scheduled next week. How to ask them a higher salary from what I have mentioned earlier. And how much I can ask more. 

Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Hey all

Recently I moved to another organisation to my surprise the entire work environment is too different from what I have expected.

And I need to work under My DM who is right in front of us who does micro monitoring so much and it was completely new to me.

Even seniors were saying be careful with him as 7-8 people recently have moved out of the company due to some differences and here I have joined a month ago and Heard more stories about my DM.

How to work and not get focused into him as recently he sent mail to HR for another person due as a bad performer.

Idk how I'll manage here as of now I just want to leave this company within 6-9 months.

If I do will it create any bad impression on me during HR as I just switched 2 companies in less than 4 years even though my package isn't that great!!

Give your suggestions!!!

Interview Tips & Stories

I am working as a front-end developer for 4.5years in a same company. So I think this is the right time to switch my job.

I attended F2F interview yesterday(21-01-25) at TCD, I completed two rounds of interview and wait for a while, they say you may leave now you got a call from us soon.

Is they call me either I cleared the interview or not cleared it, or they call only I cleared the interview?

Can I wait for the call or focus on other interview?

Post interview process

I started my career in e-commerce with a product listing and stock management, earning ₹6K per month. After a year, I transitioned into organic social media marketing, managing daily content for brands for over two years (₹20K per month).

Then came my leap into paid media, where I spent 3+ years honing my skills. I worked my way up from:
🔹 Executive – ₹28K/month (Joined)
🔹 Assistant Manager – ₹43K/month
🔹 Manager – ₹53K/month (Left)

Recently, I took on a new challenge as a Senior Executive in a different organization, now earning ₹65K/month.

Looking back at my 5-6 years of experience, I see a journey of continuous learning and growth. But as I move forward, I wonder if I am on the right path am I earning the right money?
