Hi I am about to recive an offer for tech lead role at Paytm. My current ctc is some what on lower side at 15 LPA. But I want to have significant hike in my next role. Where should I begin my negotiation for this level YOE - 8 Profile - cloud infrastructure and database engineer
If you don’t have any other offer it will be very tough to negotiate with Paytm. Do not settle for anything below 30 LPA.
Hey, here’s an idea. Why don’t you directly ask the hr person? Demand for 35lpa or whatever you have in mind for a tech lead. If you check another blind post, a 2yoe is getting offered around 25lpa. So it’s not like they don’t have the money. I think developers have been at the mercy of hr folks for quite some time with the asking of previous lpa. HR’s usually have a budget while hiring and for a tech lead I think it should be above the 30lpa bracket. Even I might be underestimating. But today with the huge demand for developers I think you have a shot. Be aggressive, no two ways around it.
@Op did you receive the numbers from Paytm?
Yes I did. It is really shitty to what I would have expected I started from 30. But HR didn't budge at all so just have to settle for way less.
Sorry for you OP, HRs are shit over here. I would suggest try at other companies while accepting Paytm offer. Because Paytm is shit place. They are not paying you market salary right now, and also do not expect good hike during appraisals as well. We are still waiting for 2020-21 appraisals.
Get multiple offers. No way around this unless you join a some big companies like Amazon who will have to give you minimum TC based on the level you are offered
I have an offer from Careem Berlin but I am not planning to leave India for personal reasons.
