Salary & Compensation Questions

Why Asked

They want to know if your expectations match their budget. Going first puts you at a slight disadvantage, but you can still answer well.

Sample Answer

Based on my research of similar roles for someone with my experience at companies of your size in India, the range is typically ₹18 to 25 LPA total compensation. I'm targeting the middle to upper end of that range given my internship experience and the specific skills I bring around backend systems. That said, I'm flexible based on the total package — base, equity, bonuses, and growth path all matter to me. What range did you have budgeted for this role?

Key Points

Give a range, not a single number

Base it on actual research (Levels.fyi, AmbitionBox, Glassdoor)

Mention total compensation, not just base

Turn the question back to them

Show flexibility without lowballing yourself

Common Mistakes

Saying 'whatever you offer is fine'

Giving a single specific number

Asking for something wildly off-market

Not having done your research

Refusing to answer
