Negotiating a higher salary
I'm been on the lookout for a new job and the first question recruiters ask is if I have an offer in hand and what's my expected CTC.
The next time, i get asked from a recruiter if I have an offer in hand, I want to say yes. Is there a way for them to verify if there's an offer or not other than asking you to send a copy of it ?

No
And if they ask for a copy. Say I won't give you GTFO
Doing this.
For expected CTC just tell them you do not have any fixed number in your mind.
Interesting. Can I say " can you tell me what the pay bands are in your organisation" ?
Sure you can ask that. Just structure it this way “Between do you mind sharing the budget you have for this role?”
Recent experience negotiating salary with an HR firm a unicorn start up.
- Never shared the Jd and kept the seniority open based on interview experience.
- Interviews had nothing to do with the actual role.
- Lowballed after interview to a lower band.
- Asks for 3 months payslips without sharing the offer in the first place. When refused, said this is mandatory.
- Then based the whole discussion on my current ctc. 6, When I put my expectations firm, I was asked for precious year appraisal letters, esop letter etc.
Felt nothing less than financial intrusion. 🙏
Sending you hugs.
Just lie? They cant/wont do shit. Even if they do, tell them you have to take my word for it or forge it or just stop replying.
