What's a Fair Salary for a New HR Executive in a Midsize Company? Let's Discuss!

Dear All,

Kindly share the ideal salary bracket for the (0-1 yr) HR executive position in a midsize company.

Hi,

The CTC is defined by various factors like industry, age, education, etc. I am also working in a mid-sized company, but it's in the heavy machinery sector. My CTC is Rs. 25,000/- per month.

It should be 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh. If you are from a reputable institute, it should be 3 to 4 lakhs.

Yes, that depends on:

From an organizational point of view: organizational status, production, profits, revenue, etc.

And from an employee point of view: Qualification, age, experience, knowledge, attitude, etc.

With Regards,

Dear,

Based on my knowledge, the ideal salary bracket for an HR Executive with 0-1 year of experience in a medium-sized company is $10,000-$15,000.

HR Executive Salary Expectations

In today’s market, the salary of an HR Executive who has completed a full-time 2-year MBA from any reputed university—and I don’t mean just a good college or institute—should be more than or equal to 25k. For individuals who have completed courses such as an executive MBA, distance MBA, e-MBA, online MBA, or similar, the salary range should be between 10-15k.

In India, the value of legitimate and full-time courses is diminishing. Therefore, I urge all HR professionals to clarify whether the MBA is a full-time 2-year program or some additional, unnecessary course. Experience is not a substitute for education but rather a catalyst.

Regards

For a fresh MBA graduate from a quality institute, the CTC should be around 3 lakhs per annum. Other HR graduates can expect a starting salary of Rs. 15,000 per month. Rs. 10,000 is only suitable for a small company and not for a mid-sized company.

Dear All,

It's a great pleasure to see the valuable guidance regarding the salary range of an HR Executive. I think in Kolkata, a person with an MBA degree and 2 years of experience may expect a salary bracket of 15k to 18k as net take-home pay. Many of my ex-colleagues who have relevant experience in manpower sourcing companies are currently receiving a salary range from 14k net take-home to 18k net take-home.

MBA holders with 0-1 year of experience, in general, are receiving a salary range from 8k net take-home to 12k net take-home per month in Kolkata (in mid-size organizations). If any of my friends can offer a salary of more than 18k net take-home per month in the HR field, please refer the opportunity to me. I will be forever grateful.

Factors Affecting HR Executive Salary

The fact is that the salary of an HR executive depends on:

- Location
- Job Description (HR generalist, core, or recruitment)
- Type of industry
- The organization offering the position

Those with experience in generalist/core HR/IR have more leverage in salary negotiation compared to those focused solely on recruitment. Feel free to call me or email me for further clarification.

Hi,

It will vary from company to company. There are HR executives who are getting Rs. 7,000 and also Rs. 15,000 (MBA HR Fresher). Depending on your experience, it will vary.

Thanks and Regards,

Thank you again for all the valuable information. Yes, you can also post the salary breakup. What is the ideal salary for a Generalist HR with (0-1 Yr) of experience? The company has a total employee strength of around 300. Kindly suggest.

Dear,

Based on my knowledge, the ideal salary bracket is $10,000-$15,000 for a 3-4 year HR Executive in a medium-sized company.

Mohd Ahsan.

It will be around Rs. 7000/- to Rs. 12000/-. Since the experience quoted here is only 0-1, that is fresher, I suggest that you don't bother about salary this time. Make this an opportunity to study and gain experience. After gaining at least 1 to 2 years, you can think about salary hikes, bargaining, and all.
