Salary Expectations
I am a Social Media Specialist with over 4 years of experience and was earning around 4.5 LPA in my previous role. When I joined my current organization, I discovered that my manager, with just 2.5 years of work experience, was earning a compensation of 7.6 -8.2 LPA (approx). This was quite surprising to me, and it made me question the market standards.
I am currently looking to switch roles and, based on my research through Glassdoor and other sources, I am expecting a package of 7-8 LPA. However, many HRs I’ve spoken to feel that even 6 LPA is too high.
What should be the ideal salary expectation for someone with my experience in the current market?

It’s tough when you see such salary differences but 7-8lpa is a reasonable range to expect

That’s quite a gap in salary...Do you think the difference in experience levels could be one of the reasons behind it?

Wow, 6 LPA being considered high? What do you think is the main reason HRs are hesitant to offer that amount?

Feels a bit off, right? How do you plan to approach HR to explain why your expectations are in line with your experience?
