That first salary number they give you? It’s a test. Most people hear a number higher than their current salary and say yes immediately. Relieved. Grateful. Ready to sign. And just like that, they left ₹5-8 lakhs on the table. Because that first number was never their best offer. Companies build negotiation room into every offer. They expect you to push back. When you don’t, they assume you don’t know your worth. The people who get paid what they deserve aren’t smarter than you. They just know how to have one conversation differently. Swipe to see exactly what to say when they ask about salary expectations, how to give a range that works in your favor, and what to negotiate when base salary is fixed. You’re not begging for money. You’re making a business case for your value.
