Hi All, I have a query regarding my salary. Since I am posting for the first time so not sure if this is the correct thread but if not, would request the moderator to move me or guide me to the right one. So here it goes.
I have a total industry experience of more than 8 years but have a very low salary compared to my peers. Now the problem is if I go for a new job interview and ask for a 30-40% hike, I still stay below par from the current industry trend. I should be getting a package of Rs 8 to 9 lac (as being eligible for an assistant manager role) but due to some uncontrollable situations in the past, I am now drawing a salary of Rs 5 lac. So you see what I am referring to.
Now I want to understand as to how can I get to a salary of 8 lac if not 9 lac in my next interview. Can I tell the HR that since I am on a low package I need more hike and would they consider my point and is that the correct approach, and if not what are some ways I can negotiate so that I can be at par with the market? I don't really want to fake my salary and live with the fear of being caught.
Any and all suggestions would be highly appreciated. I look forward to a prompt response.
Thanks in advance.
