HR Salary Insights: What Can Freshers and 1-Year Experienced Pros Expect in Medium-Sized Companies?

Can anyone give me a rough idea about the salary range for HR fresher and HR with 1 year of experience candidates in a medium-sized company?

Hi Ms. Gayatri,

Greetings.

It is too much to expect a reply to your question within 5 hours. Please remember that most people are preoccupied with their daily routine. OK. By the way, I believe you are from Chennai. For HR freshers, you can start from 8K per month, and for one year of experience, it can be Rs. 10K per month. Under the present context, this may be correct, but I am not sure these people will stick to the present job for even at least 1 year.

Freshers with 8k for 1 year of relevant experience and HR specialization can potentially earn between 15k to 18k in middle-level companies.

Dear Gayathri,

Rather than focusing solely on salary as a fresher, prioritize the opportunities for learning that a new job can provide. It is essential to gain practical knowledge in HR functions before placing too much emphasis on salary. Even if the offered salary ranges between 5K to 6K, consider accepting the position if it offers significant learning opportunities. Invest your time in mastering the profession thoroughly. Commit to staying with a company for 2 to 3 years that will yield rewarding returns in the future.

The salary for a fresher or someone with 1 to 2 years of experience is very difficult to determine. It depends on the candidate's qualifications and the nature of the company, as it can vary from the manufacturing industry to hospitality or software development companies.

Kindly specify the type of industry and the qualifications of the candidate so that we can provide more accurate information.

It depends on the qualifications in HR and from which B-school the candidate is graduating.

Thank you.

Dear Gayathri,

The salary range for the HR fresher is 8k to 10k, but it mostly depends on negotiation and compatibility.

Thank you.

Dear Gayatri,

There are many parameters for salary fixation, such as city, minimum wages, industry, education (institute), etc. In addition to that, you need to be aware of the salary range of other similar companies. Once you have all this information, you can easily determine the appropriate salary.

I agree with Shirish; it's difficult to quantify a salary range and enumerate it just for the sake of it. I am sure an IIM fresher in HR won't get 8K-10K. Lolz.

Dear Gayatri,

The salary range for a fresher can start from 8K to 12K, depending on the qualifications and the institute from where the person has completed their post-graduation. With one year of experience, the salary range will be between 15K to 18K.

Thank you.

Hi Gayatri,

You have to be specific about the size of the company for which you are asking the question. For a medium to small level company, a fresher usually gets something around 10k, and with 1 year of experience, it rises to 15k. However, for an MNC or a big organization, the salary ranges between 25k to 35k.

Salary ranges from $8,500 to $19,000, and that depends on the company, number of employees, and years of experience.

It's also a case-by-case basis. For example, if you are already receiving a salary of $13k as a supervisor, and then your boss promotes you to an HR position, your salary may increase or remain the same.

Dear All,

Thank you for all the suggestions. As many have mentioned, salary will depend on the qualifications and type of industry. Therefore, I am hereby mentioning the details:

Type of Industry: Software (Total around 350-400 employees)
Qualification: MBA (HR)

Kindly provide your opinion based on the provided data.

Gayatri

Dear Gayatri,
