I remember one of my last companies giving a package of 8 LPA when their budget for the Backend Developer was 24 LPA. #Day95 of #helpingAspiringPMs100Days Why does this kind of Doglapan happen? → You don’t know your worth → You don’t know how to negotiate → You are so desperate that you are ready to work for nothing Never take the first offer. Always negotiate over the first offer that has been given to you. To determine your worth, use Glassdoor to determine the average salary for your role in your area. The best and easiest way to negotiate is to secure multiple offer letters. When you are fresher or unemployed, never give your expected CTC at that time. Just provide this chance to HR, and once you get an offer letter, negotiate the salary over that package. They have given to you.
