Highly bias person having comand. I say about my self I was joined in sep/2016 . They given 25% hike but after 3month reduced salary 20% by saying harmonization. I did fight but nothing happen. Join as officer with 4year experience in sept 2016. Now become senior officer after 7year hard work. I was 10th class topper of my school in 2006(awarded by school ) . I was third rank holder in 12th in my school 2008(awarded by mp govt award) B. Pharm with 71% and CR of my college. But there is no value of excellence due to some silly selfish persons.

Hi All, During a job opportunity, when the recruiter asked for my expected CTC, I mentioned 12 LPA, as my previous job's fixed salary was 7.8 LPA. Now, I’ve been shortlisted for the Product Designer role and have learned from some sources that their maximum budget is 14 LPA. How should I approach the negotiation? Would it be reasonable to ask for 14 LPA, considering I initially stated my expectation as 12 LPA? The job is based in Gurgaon, and I have 4.5 years of experience. Looking forward to your advice!
