Does Starting with a Low Salary Lock Your Future Growth?

Is it true that accepting a low package early on affects future salary growth?

I’ve been noticing that most HRs offer hikes based on previous CTC rather than actual market value. So if someone starts low, even after switching, they keep getting underpaid.

Is this the reality in today’s market? Or are there ways to break out of this cycle? 🤔 Suggest some guidances to get package of my market value.

Difficult but not impossible. The low tier and mid tier companies will try to lowball you based on current salary.

But there are reputed companies out there which have a fixed band and will place you inside that regardless of current ctc.

You need to get into a good MNC like that to get a jump.
