10% hike on a job switch? Really?

Hello!!!

Need all of your help to understand the current hike scenario while switching the job. I got offered only a 10% hike in a recent job offer. Recruiters give recession as a reason for this offer.

I am a marketer with 7+ years of work experience. How much of a hike can I expect in the current market?

20-30%
30-50%
>50%
Anything else - please comment

It is not marketing. Finance operations

I got the hike of 25% last december. After putting down my papers, they retained me for 60% hike.

Sometimes they’re just using recession as excuse tbh! Find a new one.

~30% is a reasonable expectation. Although it depends on other factors as well like your existing CTC, your role, how niche your expertise and experience is.

What if I am already earning less than the market standard?

My gf is in content writing and she managed to get 50% hike. Has <1 YOE. Don't fall for the recession bs. Negotiate hard.

Also depends on what is your current ctc. If it’s too high like 50+ LPA, you have to be realistic and cant expect a 30% hike

Lol it's not! It's below 20, hence the expectation and the question 🤣

Yes, then it’s pretty low. You can expect >30%

You need to negotiate. Ask a minimum of 30%. If they don’t agree they pull the BS of you have another offer.
