What is your CTC expectations?

When a recruiter asks:
“What are your salary expectations?”

🚫 Avoid saying:
• “As per industry standards”
• “As per your budget”
• “I want a 30% hike or don’t give any fixed number

From a recruiter’s side, these answers sound:
– Unprepared
– Vague
– Negotiation-weak

And yes, this can cost you money.

✅ What works better instead:

• Do your market homework before interviews
• Understand pay for similar roles
• Factor in skills, experience & impact
• Stay open, but not clueless

📊 Recruiters expect context, not guesses.

Remember:
Salary conversations are not about percentages.
They’re about value + market alignment.
