0:01 during telephonic interview when this
0:04 question is asked by the HR that what is
0:06 your current CDC and what is the CDC you
0:09 are expecting 80% of candidates does
0:11 this mistake that I'm going to show in
0:14 these two situations which leads their
0:17 profile on hold and they won't receive
0:19 any call back again from the HRS after
0:21 showing these two situations with you by
0:24 the end of the video I will tell you a
0:26 pro tip to sound really confident and
0:28 answer this question like a pro
0:31 Situation Number One hello Niha thanks
0:33 for all the details that you have shared
0:35 till now may I have your current CDC
0:37 well I'm currently drawing 8 LPA plus 1
0:40 LPA as a variable and altogether it's 9
0:43 LPA and what are you expected CTC I'm
0:46 expecting somewhere around 14 lakhs in
0:50 hand plus variables W okay I will get
0:52 back to
0:56 you asking for almost 60% hike oh let's
0:58 put her profile on hold I will better
1:00 see another candidate
1:02 so you have seen in this situation that
1:04 during the telephonic interview the
1:07 candidate has requested for almost 60%
1:09 salary increase which is a common
1:12 mistake done by most of the candidates
1:14 asking for such a significant race
1:17 upfront can give you the impression that
1:20 your primary focus is on financial gain
1:22 rather than the role position growth or
1:25 culture fit by saying this you will risk
1:28 your profile to get put on hold and if
1:30 your salary expectations are out out of
1:32 their budget then on your resume they
1:35 will be marking very high expectations
1:38 and here is Situation Number second
1:40 hello Niha thanks for all the details
1:42 that you have shared till now may I have
1:44 your current CDC well I'm currently
1:47 drawing 12 LPA plus 1 LPA as a variable
1:49 so altto together it's 13 LPA and what
1:52 are your expected CTC I'm expecting as
1:56 per industry standards around 20 to 30%
1:58 hike okay we will let you know if your
2:00 profile gets shortlisted
2:04 again a basic reply 20 to 30% hike I
2:07 know this candidate can even join in 15%
2:10 so a standard request hike for 20 to 30%
2:12 salary is something that recruiters
2:15 heard from every eight out of 10
2:17 candidates it shows lack of strategic
2:20 thinking and may result in receiving the
2:22 minimum hike they are going to offer so
2:25 basically if you quote too low then
2:27 you're giving them the hand to offer you
2:29 their lowest package and if you quote
2:32 too high you get your application on
2:35 hold because you are out of the budget
2:38 so here is a best way to handle this
2:40 situation and what are your expected CTC
2:42 thank you for asking I would first like
2:44 to know the salary range for this
2:45 position we don't have a fixed salary
2:47 range but we are open for the
2:49 negotiation depending upon candidates
2:51 performance during the interview that's
2:54 great even my expectations will be as
2:56 for growth and responsibilities for this
3:00 position that's fine but I still need
3:02 some number like you know some quote
3:04 regarding your salary or CDC to proceed
3:06 this for the next step can you please
3:10 share your expectations okay so I'm
3:13 particularly expecting range between 16
3:16 to 18 lakhs including variables and I'm
3:18 open for discussions and negotiation
3:21 also about my expectations depending
3:23 upon other elements also like the offer
3:26 of the projects responsibility career
3:28 growth and other benefits I'm confident
3:31 that my skills will be great match for
3:34 this role so this reply is balanced and
3:36 flexible and it will surely going to
3:38 increase the chances of face to-face
3:40 round of interview and it also includes
3:43 other factors like job role pgks and
3:45 responsibilities that shows that you are
3:47 not only thinking about salary but
3:50 you're also thinking about the long-term
3:52 goals and stability with the company and
3:54 here comes the pro tip for you inquiring
3:57 about the salary range first demonstrate
4:00 that you're open to negotiation and and
4:02 interested in understanding how the
4:04 company values this rule this approach
4:06 helps you avoid undervaluing yourself
4:09 and also ensures balanced conversation
4:11 one more very important thing that
4:14 inquire about the salary range only once
4:17 and in a very polite manner if the
4:20 recruiter seems not interested in
4:22 disclosing the salary range then don't
4:25 ask it again else it may seems that you
4:28 are a forcing candidate trust me being
4:30 an HR I can tell you that how it
4:33 actually works because when we decide to
4:35 hire somebody then we can even break the
4:38 bracket of budget at the last moment do
