Whenever i apply for new job opening the HR asks this stupid question every-time. How can we deal with it? People should hire based on their skills not based on their current CTC.
I used this trick, and it worked out. You need to say “since I am underpaid because of so-and-so reason, I don’t want to disclose the current CTC since it is going to affect my expected CTC, which is unfair. I need a so-and-so LPA (do ur research like ambitionbox or glassdoor with respect to ur YoE)”
And the best solution which always works out but a little risky is that you accept the ECTC offer and, before the joining date, interview yourself differently and take that offer to re-negotiate here.
I don't think them recruiter bitches will will agree to any of that.
I have used this -
I always say this and it works "I am not comfortable sharing my CTC at this early in the interview process".
Gotta squeeze every rupee they can for rangolis and Domino's parties.
It is fine sharing your CTC while explicitly mentioning that if that is going to be a metric for your Expected CTC then you rather not join. This will result in higher rejections, but the companies that pay in accordance to your skill usually don't ask this in the first place or will be ok in hearing out your range and try to match or come within a reasonable ballpark of it.
HR doesn't know shit. You can say what ever you want. Just need a convincing statement that you have made your homework and arrived at the number. Tell them "your deliverable is measurable in dollar terms" or 'The amount quoted might sound high in numbers, but the value you can provide will be direct contribution to the top line as you have worked in similar role before" etc..
You can say anything you want, the will offer what they can. If you have cleared your tech rounds , then the HR round negotiation is just for the HR to show they have done some negotiation.
Wait what? You should take the interview for the experience. Make sure all the rounds are remote. Then take a decision.

My current CTC is 8.1 Ipa and during interview rounds, I have asked for 15 LPA as that was the budget of the role. It's an MNC BANK. Not revealing the company. Now they are saying that only a 30% hike is possible because no one in the in...
Hello Grapeviners,
What is with Indian recruiters wanting to know your CTC as the very first step of hiring? And when asked to share the ctc range in which the role falls, they refuse to share. So basically they just want to lowball ...
