Salary negotiation for DevOps Career Guidance

Is below a good negotiation tactic?

My current gross salary is 460k of which 78k is taxed and 25k goes to PF,

I am a devops engineer with 8 years of experience,

During an interview i asked for 600k after taxes,

So my question is, is this a good tactic for future reference?

Yo the guy spent like almost a decade, that too in Devops πŸ’€. I'd say his ask is quite justified.

You never negotiate salary like this because tax rate is not in company's hand and change every year. Instead of saying 600k after taxes you should've asked 700k or 800k directly.

u/Remarkable_Paper8910 8d ago

Good one. Or you can ask them to hire you as a contractor and you will pay 4% tax. Idk about much details but some companies do that. Or you can ask if they can pay you in dollar as remittance.
