The 5 salary negotiation mistakes that cost PMs ₹10+ LPA. 3. I’ve also noticed many times that most of you don’t negotiate properly once the HR shares the first offer letter. 2.

Most Product Managers negotiate only on the base salary, but ideally, you should negotiate on the entire compensation package. I’ll tell you one thing — many times, companies say, “We’ll increase your salary after 3 months based on your performance.” To be very honest, this is often a lie HR tells candidates when nothing is mentioned in writing. Never trust such verbal promises. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲. 𝗜’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.
