Hi,
I have over 4 years of experience in dot net. I recently joined a new company with a salary of 6 lakhs, and I have almost completed 1 month. However, I am looking for a salary of 7.5 lakhs, and this has made it difficult for me to concentrate on my job. I am feeling totally confused. Should I resign from the job (with a notice period of 60 days) and search for a new job, or should I approach my current organization and request my expected salary?
Thank you.

Dear , My sincere advice is not to switch jobs immediately because that may have an impact in the future. Better sit and analyse what to be done to manage your current tasks. thx

I wonder why you took up a job that paid you less than your expectation. Why do you think that you are worth that much and the company should pay you? It's always a problem when expectations are not met.
Also, see the discussions at https://www.citehr.com/427366-theory...ml#post1933533. Did you demand 7.5 during the interview? If not, it's too late. No company will give a 25% pay raise after just one month, that too if you are not concentrating on the job. You are always free to resign giving due notice and look for a new job.

Hello,
Further to what Pandiarajan and Simhan mentioned, going by the general CTC ranges for .Net skills today, 6L p.a. is okay -- unless you have other special rare skills or you are comparing with your friends who might be in larger companies. You could have given the reasons for your expectation of 7.5 L along with your posting.
Your II option ['can I ask current organization to give my expected salary'] has been answered by Simhan -- it's too late. There's also a chance that your 'standing' in the present company is coming down -- adding to your troubles.
Regarding your I option ['Can I resign the job...and search new job'], frankly, forget it. You would be bringing a lot of mental pressure on yourself -- affecting interview performance in the process.
Like Pandiarajan mentioned, just focus on your present job -- however tough you think it is, all it takes is some mental attitude. If a decision of yours can lead you to be so mentally disturbed, frankly, it could be tough going as you go up the ladder.
Just in case, if the reason for your changed thoughts happens to be any of your friends, I suggest keeping away from them for some time. Peer pressure is an awful (and surprisingly, quite prevalent) way of ruining one's career.
All the best.

Dear Concerned,
Greetings!!!
You need to introspect, as you didn't research before joining, how much you should ask for in terms of salary. You should listen to Simhan and give yourself some time to enjoy your job. Perform at your best and ask for a salary hike at your next PMS.
