Frequently asked questions
What's a typical salary hike when switching jobs?
Job switches often command higher hikes than annual increments — commonly in the 20-40% range in India, though this varies significantly by industry, experience level, and market conditions.
How is a hike different from an increment?
The terms are often used interchangeably, though "hike" more commonly refers to a raise from switching employers, while "increment" typically refers to a routine annual adjustment within the same company.
Should I negotiate based on CTC or in-hand salary hike?
Always clarify which figure a hike percentage applies to — a hike on CTC can translate to a smaller actual in-hand increase if the new offer restructures allowances or benefits differently.
