I'm a little lost. Is this fair or not?
Initially the company started out with the JD of a PM. During the process they were sure to highlight that this roles requires so & so RnR/entrepreneurial mindset/etc. They have made it pretty clear that this role requires a lot of work and effort. After 5 rounds of interviews, they decided to offer me the position of APM with a CTC of 24 lpa (Fixed - 23 / Variable - 5%). Location - Mumbai. So this is different from what they started out with and I'm not sure how fair the compensation is. I have 5 years of corporate experience and have been working as a PM officially. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Feel free to comment and vote on the designation / fair CTC value in your opinion as per market conditions today. Thanks! :)
Overall, no matter the pay I wouldn't take a title reduction. APM has a completely different meaning in the market compared to PM. Is there a reason they're not offering a PM title?
@SarcasticMillenial previous work ex and companies?
24 lpa as a PM is considered overpaid. Hardly any companies give this much.
I think you can make a case of going in as a PM.
PM at 25 is early level PM and I think that is the best you'll get at this company, that is even if they agree to give you the PM designation at all.
