This is for Microsoft IDC (India Development Center), my yoe is 13. I don't want my current TC to have a negative impact on the offer which I am expecting from Microsoft. Currently don't have any other offer. How do I proceed?
Did Microsoft give any offer yet?
It’s illegal to ask for it. Wtf
In India its pretty common to ask for latest payslip
It's illegal only in California. In India it's so common that it's treated as a standard procedure.
You can tell the recruiter your company has prevented you from sharing any compensation details.
Did you misrepresent your current TC to them. It's not strange but in US as well recruiter have started asking for screenshot of say RSU details ( Google recruiter as well) with rationale that they need to justify to finance to go beyond current celing. If you don't have competing offers they this will be your benchmark. If you deny they will say they can't help you. So best to get competing offer.
I never disclosed my current TC with them.
Then there is no need to share it. They should pay you competive pay based on market.
Hey @yesUcan: would you mind sharing your interview prep journey? And if possible, what all was asked.
Standard practice in India
First your offer isn’t based on what you earned previously, we gave 100% bump in base for someone coming from east coast even though she asked for 20% more. So if you lied about your salary it’s bad , but if you are worried they will see current comp and reduce your TC - don’t worry microsoft will never do that
That's good to hear. I haven't disclosed my TC to Microsoft yet. Out of curiosity, if the offer is not based on my current TC then why do they want to know it?
To make sure you work where you said you work. Also rules in india might be different - it has a lot to do with the location - my statements are for California and Washington state usa . Microsoft makes sure you get salary based on the level you are hired for and you will get the median- giving lower than median will raise HR flags and triggers . Some good companies believe in that - some are shady and fool.
Tc or gtfo!
