When to Negotiate
After a verbal offer is made — never before. If asked early, give a range: "Based on my research I'm targeting ₹X–Y CTC, though I'm open to discussion based on the full package."
How to Anchor High
Ask for 20–30% above current CTC for a new company move. Internal promotions allow 15–25%. Back your ask with market data, quantified achievements, and the scope increase the new role represents.
